Arguably one of the most fashionable events apart from New York Fashion Week, the Met Gala on Monday night set off a whirlwind of chic tweets, even chicer Twitter pics, and an evening full of "who are you wearing?" conversation starters. The healthy stream of tweets from the likes of Vogue, Marc Jacobs, Knicks player Amar'e Stoudemire, model Doutzen Kroes, and the Met Museum kept us well-informed on everything from wardrobe prep to arrivals on the red carpet to inside the buzzed about Alexander McQueen exhibit.
