Winfrey, Wintour host Met Costume Gala in NYC

NEW YORK — Two of the most powerful women in entertainment and fashion teamed up to throw a party in New York City, and Hollywood heavyweights made sure to be there.

Oprah Winfrey and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour co-chaired the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala Benefit on Monday night in New York.

This year’s theme celebrated the American woman.

Stars Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lopez attended.

Many were accompanied by the designer who dressed them.

Lady Gaga was slated to perform at the ball but didn’t walk the red carpet. Instead, the famous face with the most unusual dress was singer Katy Perry. She wore a dress that literally lit up with LED lights.
