Decker darkened her hair in October 2012. "It hasn't been brown in a long time," the model and actress said. "I was really bored and just decided to go brown." For the dye job, she called upon hairstylist pal Michael Angelo and made a stop at his Wonderland Beauty Parlor. "I've been going to him for years and he's so much fun and has a great place. It took maybe two or three hours. There were several steps."

    Met Gala: The best theme dressing throughout the years

    Each spring we look forward to the opulent red-carpet display that takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala and the dresses that will grace its steps the first Monday in May. The evening is never short on grandeur, but there’s always a few artistically minded guests who go the extra mile and dress with the year’s exhibit wholeheartedly in mind—donning a look that not only impresses but more than tips its perfectly considered hat to the theme. From Hamish Bowles’ tartan tuxedo in homage to Alexander McQueen to Kate Moss in a gold-lame Marc Jacobs frock and matching turban embodying the concept of Model as Muse, we pay tribute to those who creatively and elegantly elevate the dress code.
