    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.
