The annual Costume Institute Gala brought out the who who's in fashion, film, and music. The theme for the fashion-forward event was "Superheroes: Fashion & Fantasy". Some looks on the red carpet were daring and others simply underestimate their complete look...



Janet Jackson in a white Versace gown arrived to the fashion-forward event with boyfriend Jermanie Dupri. The pop icon also walked the red carpet with Donatella Versace and Allegra Versace.


Beyonce Knowles made her first red carpet appearance since becoming Mrs. Shawn Carter in a gorgeous strapless Giorgio Armani Prive dress. No sign of her husband, sister Solange or her Dc3 counterparts.


Tom Cruise came with his Giorgio Armani-wearing wife, Katie Holmes. (FYI: Armani designed her wedding gown.) On her feet are a pair of electric blue Christian Louboutins.



Jennifer Lopez showed little of her pregnancy bump in a blue tiered, asymmetrical Alberta Ferratti gown. Her husband Marc Anthony was right by her side.



Thandie Newton rocked a cape-inspired Chanel black lace look which prompted a smile from her friend, actor Jimmy Fallon. Those Azzedine Alaia dominatrix heels of hers are fierce, huh?



David and Victoria Beckham both look glamorous as she has on a vintage (re: Fall 1989 collection) Giorgio Armani gown. David and Victoria revealed on yesterday's Oprah that one of their first dates was catching Tom Cruise's "Jerry Maguire".



Kimora Lee Simmons went for a sassy colorful look with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou.



Venus Williams kept her look classy in a trapeze Carolina Herrera gown as she arrived with Vogue magazine's Andre Leon Talley. Andre styled Venus for a previous Vogue photo spread which you can check out here.



Mary J Blige, who took a brief break from her "Heart of the City" tour, sported a platinum blonde hairstyle with a black strapless ball Michael Kors gown. Her husband Kendu Isaacs was right by her side. (I love her Gucci clutch!)



Paula Patton and Robin Thicke simply complemented one another at the event AND at the Nina Ricci-after party. Robin's 2006 ode ("Lost Without You") to his wife, Paula made People magazine's "Most Beautiful" list.



A newly engaged Joy Bryant wore a '70s inspired PUCCI turtleneck dress.
