Parties! The style, stars and scoop from Hollywood's hottest events

An epic red carpet and plenty of Hollywood stars and fashion world insiders helped transform the famous steps of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art into a star-studded runway for the annual Costume Institute Gala. Modern style icons like Victoria Beckham, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez struck their best poses as they made their way inside for some hero worship, celebrating the opening of Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy. "I feel fabulous!" said Eva Longoria Parker, showing off her Marchesa gown. Longoria Parker walked the carpet in the company of Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig as her faithful stylist, Robert Verdi, followed to help her up the stairs.
