As two of today's youngest style icons, special attention should be paid to what Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wore to the Met Gala. Both sisters went vintage, with Ashley picking a beaded orange dress with gauzy overlay from Dior Couture. Mary-Kate opted for Chanel and stepped out in a beaded, crop-waist black dress covered with a fur-trimmed robe. Which Olsen twin has your vote?

Add Anne Hathaway to the list of Hollywood good girls who ditched their usual look and embraced the Met Gala's edgier theme instead. The actress not only slipped into a sultry, sheer vintage Valentino gown, but she also showed off a new punky bleach-blonde hair colour — a look she says was inspired by Debbie Harry. She finished it off with eclectic rings and electric polish. So, did Anne nail it?

Michelle Dockery has vamped it up for today's SAGs, walking the red carpet in this vintage sheer-spliced black satin gown by Chado Ralph Rucci. The high neckline may be covered up, but the strategically placed inserts inject a sexy peek-a-side-boob effect to her otherwise elegant look. A gold and diamond wrap snake cuff and drop earrings add a little after-dark glamour to her ensemble. What's your call on the Downton Abbey star's SAGs get-up?

Ah, the perils of having style crushes all around the globe — the seasonal difference between us and the northern hemisphere has us desperate to give our summer threads a spin, even though we're still in winter! Model Dree Hemingway's gorgeous Marc Jacob's embellished sundress and white lace-ups had us dreaming of long days in a lush park, while Kate Moss' '70s-boho kaftan and healthy glow sent us into a (very enjoyable) sartorial spin. Warm summer nights aren't upon us yet, though, so we're lucky that Chloë Sevigny and Miranda Kerr have our backs — their flared jeans and monochromatic coat, respectively, reminded us of exactly why we love the cold season: layer + layer of beautiful clothing = one ridiculously good outfit. Flick through our pick of this week's top ten looks, and let us know which were your favourite. Enjoy!
Kirsten Dunst stayed true to her vintage-tinged style, channeling '40s charm in a ladylike Rodarte ensemble. From head to toe, Kirsten committed to the look, opting for coiffed waves to complement the vintage-inspired blazer and skirt. Adding interest, she cinched her waist with a black leather belt with gold hardware and finished with a gold antique-feeling ring. It's definitely one of the most unique looks we've seen on the red carpet so far — what do you think of Kirsten's retro-infused ensemble?

Coco Rocha stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet in unique get-up, wearing a vintage Givenchy outfit that previously belonged to the late Elizabeth Taylor. Coco looked stunning in the offbeat ensemble, consisting of a hot-pink bodice attached to bright yellow cropped trousers and a matching yellow beaded jacket. She accessorized with salmon-hued heels, a bold diamond ring, and a simple gold clutch. Her most major accessory, however, was easily her hot-pink hair. What do you think of Coco's vintage ensemble?

Natalie Portman proved today that good design doesn't date. The new-mum donned a vintage haute couture Valentino gown from 1954 for her strut down the Academy Awards' red carpet. We could imagine the strapless, polkadotted ballgown being worn by Hollywood icons like Sophia Loren, but Natalie makes it her own, adding a statement diamond collar, drop earrings and a sleek black clutch bag for today's outing. We heart it. Do you?
