We are mere hours away from the start of the Met Ball, one of the year's most fashionable events. The chichi it-crowd hosting tonight's gala includes Aerin Lauder, Bradley Cooper, Oscar de la Renta, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, and (of course) Vogue Editrix Anna Wintour. Our sister site is already liveblogging all the gorgeous details, so click over to find out who will be wearing what, and how to wear "white tie and decorations."
