Hollywood's biggest stars were dressed to the nines for the annual Costume Institute Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night.

Fashion icons Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron and Lindsay Lohan walked the red carpet to celebrate the Institute's AngloMania exhibit, which honors British designers.

The evening had its share of fashion hits - Jessica Alba and Mandy Moore -- and misses, including Ivana Trump and Sarah Jessica Parker draped in tartan plaid.

A Cruise/Holmes wedding is on the fast track. Katie Holmes has met with the owner of Buff Brides, a company that sculpts bodies for the big day. And, we're told, Buff Brides has specific instructions -- get Katie ready to look amazing in her wedding dress.

Now we have the specifics. A source tells TMZ that it's a sleek, strapless A-line dress that is form fitted across the waist and falls to the floor. As for cleavage -- not so much. The bust is cut straight across.

Ralph Lauren led the lineup, with Donna Karan and Karl Lagerfeld showing later in the day. Also on the schedule were Sweetface by Jennifer Lopez and a fall preview by Matthew Williamson.

Donna Karan: With this season's emphasis on the working woman, it's no surprise that Karan -- one of the first designers to court this customer -- delivered daytime styles that balanced chicness and ease.

Karan revived the bodysuit that made her famous, added silver embellishments to it, and put it under both a sophisticated molded gray coat with a V-neck and a more fashion-forward tiger print coat.

Sheer panels along the hem of a black skirtsuit added a hint of sexiness, and sheer fabrics on the back or sleeves of otherwise simple dresses and tops had the same effect.
