Sarah Jessica Parker was one for the lucky few to wear an archive look from Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2005 collection to the 2011 Met Gala.
Her silver crystal embellished dress has a high neckline and three-quarter length sleeves.
I love how understated and elegant her look was.
A voluminous 60s bouffant completed her look.

Something about the neckline / hair combo makes her look much older than she is. Other than that I love the fit.
OOH! I like.
She has never looked better! I am shocked how elegant and tame she went but I LOVE this look on her. The hair,make,and dress are all working together beautifully. Def in my top 5 of the night.
She looks beautiful – I’m so glad she wore McQueen. Although she went the ‘understated and elegant’ route, it’s too bad we didn’t see more looks from McQueen tonight, whether they be subdued or bold!
She looks so elegant. Best dressed so far
effortless… i love it.
Stunning! Finally someone who actually wore McQueen.
Gorgeous gown, terrible hair. Terrible.
I was so excited about the Met Gala to see the memorable pieces from McQueen’s archive and SJP made me so happy. This is classic McQueen with the right attitude. I wish more people did that though!
GORGOUS !!!!!
One of my favorite look of tthe vening.
Thank you for the coverage!
Not a fan of the hair, there must have been some hair and makeup goblin going around that evening messing everyone up! Except for Ginnifer Goodwin whose hair and makeup took my breath away! LOVE this dress though. Whats with the lack of mcqueen though? I wanted to see some of his corsetry or a few bumsters!
The gown is amazing, the hair is lovely, I adore the makeup. One word: STUNNING
beautiful. although i think Daphne Guiness did the best alexander mcqueen contribution at the gala
She was my favourite of the night in the classy, tame, elegant section and Karolina Kurkova on the dramatic, surprinsing section. As always, great coverage FC!
stunning
The neck doesn’t look like its sitting right and its bugging me. From other pictures it looks like she hasn’t zipped it all the way up.
Love this! By far and away one of the best dressed of the night. She looks so elegant.
gorgeous as always.
I’m trying to figure out why I don’t like this. At first it thought it was because I don’t like her and never havve, but no, it’s the color of the gown. It makes her feel old…
Sorry, i but i HATE it. The neckline is all wrong on her, the gown is too loong she doesn´t breathe life in it at all. & don´t get me started with this horse-like looking hair & makeup…
She looks beautiful, but something is wrong and i can’t figure out what
Beautiful DRESS
I loved the dress, but her hair and makeup age her so, so much. The dress is incredible though.
SJP looks simply elegant and fabulous.
I love this look – it’s sooo elegant. Def one of my BD of the night.
She looks great. I like that she wore McQueen.
I think she looks older than she is and I think its the hair and the heavy eye makeup
Boring, makes she look like a rich matron. Sorry, hate the hair and the make up with this.
Gorgeous.
