Just like any other girl/fashion freak, I am truly obsessed with the red carpet. From the age of 2, I have ogled red carpet gowns from old Hollywood films to Academy Award shows, dreaming that one day I would be given the chance to don my own glamorous look on that crimson rug. That day still has yet to come, but I have an entire folder on my computer stocked full of floor-length gowns that I’ve either seen on the runway or on a celebrity.

Last night’s Met Gala was full of beautiful gowns – though I’m pretty disappointed no one stepped out with something big and voluminous like they’ve done in past years – and I have to say my favorite look goes out to Sarah Jessica Parker in Valentino Couture. I think she could have rethought her hair and makeup but I fell in love with that gown on the runway and have been patiently waiting for someone – if not myself when that lucky day comes – to wear it to a major event.

I’ve shared some of my other favorite looks from last night’s Gala on my Facebook page, but here are some standout gowns that will forever remain at the top of my dream dress list.

What are some of your favorite red carpet gowns from the past/present?
