And that's a wrap

Well, that's about all from me and the Met Gala pink carpet. Thanks for tuning in, your comments, tweets and Instagram messages.

I'm going to have a sandwich (and a think) but some of my quick favourites: Saoirse Ronan, Janelle Monae, Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne and Celine Dion.

Don't forget to check out our gallery with 100 of the best looks here.

See you next year!

The verdicts are slowly coming in

So, what does the fashion world make of this year's Gala? We may have to wait several hours before hearing from some of the leading critics but here are some early takes:

The Cut's Opheli Garcia Lawler has called out the "14 least camp" celebrities at the event, concluding that "at its simplest, the directive was to try something outside of the box. For some people, though that just wasn’t in the cards."

Vogue handed its tiara to those who embraced the "theatrical, exaggerated, dramatic, hyperbolic", including Emily Blunt and Madelaine Petsch, whose dress reminded many of Tinkerbell from Peter Pan.

Naomi Campbell, JLo, Celine Dion and several other women over 40 are absolutely KILLING the red carpet.

Runway to red carpet

It would have been a crime for one of the Viktor and Rolf "slogan" dresses to not make an appearance. And if you're playing Met Gala bingo, you've scored another point.
