Tonight is the Met Gala! The theme? In America: An Anthology of Fashion. The dress code? White tie and gilded glamour — a nod to the Gilded Age (the late-19th century) that was a time of grandeur, industrialization, and turn-of-the-century prosperity.

Some celebrities got the memo and dressed accordingly. So, here are some of the best looks from the beige-and-burgundy carpet:

1. Blake Lively's Statue of Liberty/patina'd copper gown:
