It was an unusual choice for the theme of this year's Met Gala as the star attendee's were asked to go punk.
While many of the guests still stuck to pretty princess dresses, Miley Cyrus, Rooney Mara, Nicole Richie and Sienna Miller all took the theme rather seriously.
Nicole and Rooney both chose white dresses for the Vogue event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, but added dramatic touches when it came to their hair and make-up.
Punk rock princesses: Rooney Mara and Nicole Richie led the glamour on the red carpet at the 2013 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night
With all of her tattoos and piercings, her character of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon tattoo had a punk edge, so the theme of the ball was no doubt a breeze for actress Rooney.
The 28-year-old star slipped into a plunging white Givenchy lace zipper dress for the event, and contrasted her the frock with
lashings of almost black lipstick.
The monochrome hues complemented her alabaster skin tone and dark brown locks.
Fashion favourite: Sienna Miller stole the show in her slinky white dress teamed with studded jacket and headband
Revelling in it: Miley Cyrus clearly loved the opportunity to go pink in a fishnet dress and spiked hair
The man behind the dress: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo star posed with the designer of the dress, Riccardo Tisci
Going all out: Sarah Jessica Parker put all the other guests to shame with her amazing and elaborate outfit
She accesorised with a pair of sky-high white leather stilettos featuring gold buckle accents.
Not only did her gown flash plenty of
her decolletage, but the almost Spanish-style ruffles on the hem dipped
up her thighs displaying her slender pins.
Meanwhile Nicole went all-out by dying her tresses a shock of bright white, which matched her long-sleeved and lacy gown which clung to her petite frame.
Blonde ambition: Anne Hathaway showed a rare edgy side to herself in a racy dress and with newly bleached blonde hair
It's a match: Kim Kardashian, who has preciously been banned from the event, wore a floral dress with matching gloves and shoes as she posed up with boyfriend Kanye West
Pretty and punky: Rose Huntington-Whiteley managed to stick to the theme while still looking very feminine
Also wearing white was Sienna Miller, who proved why she is such a fashion favourite.
The actress looked stunning as she took a style risk which she easily pulled off.
Sienna wore a slinky floor-length white dress along with a heavily studded leather jacket and matching headband in her flowing blonde locks.
Keeping it simple: Meanwhile, while Heidi Klum
showed off plenty of cleavage, she went for a rather low-key choice with
her corseted silver embellished gown
Gladrags: Katie Holmes chose a flowing white dress which had a split train and teamed it with matching sandals
Angelic: (L-R) Olivia Wilde, Hailie Steinfeld and Emmy Rossum also wore white. Hailee and Emmy both chose Donna Karan dresses
Of course, Miley Cyrus revelled in
the opportunity to unleash her inner punk and wore a black fishnet
dress, styling her hair into spikes.
Joining them on the red carpet early was Joely Richardson, who also went for an Eighties theme in her bright yellow, almost neon gown.
But the outfit had somewhat of a period twist with it's A-frame cut at the top of the skirt.
Three generations of Richardsons: Nip/Tuck star
Joely Richardson attended the event with her mother Vanessa Redgrave and
her daughter Daisy Richardson
Bold colours: Joely
stood out in her bright, almost neon, yellow A-frame dress, while
pregnant Ivanka Trump flashed her tanned legs in a dress featuring a
long green crushed silk shirt
The Nip/Tuck appeared youthful with her blonde locks out in a straight style and bold red lipstick on her pout.
Joely was joined by her equally famous mother Vanessa Redgrave as well as her daughter Daisy Bevan, who was making her first public outing with her mother and grandmother.
Daisy
stood out from the three generations of Ricardsons in a burgundy
leather dress featuring a glittering embellishment on the bust.
On her feet were laced ankle booties featuring a matching burgundy and cream swirl design.
Much like Mara, the 21-year-old wore a dark shade of lipstick on her lips.
Bad choices: Fashion designers Mary-Kate (L) and Ashley Olsen both managed to misfire in their swamping ensembles
Dramatic: Skyfall star Naomie Harris was beautiful in a blue gown featuring a graduated blue feathered train
Legs eleven: Karolina Kurkova displayed her super long legs in a printed mini dress paired with black leather stilettos featuring studded straps
