Jaime King: 2012 Met Gala Gorgeous

She’s always been easy on the eyes, and earlier tonight (May 7) Jaime King was spotted arriving at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The “Pearl Harbor” hottie sported a ravishing red low-back Topshop dress as she made her way inside the event, which was themed “Shiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.”

Earlier this week, Jaime tweeted, “Had so much fun w my beloved @JasonWu choosing looks for The Met Ball after parties.”

The annual fete finds actress Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair alongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, while Azealia Banks is lined up to perform.

As for the celebratory occasion, this year's rendition of the Met gala ushers in the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibition exploring "the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras."

The display is described as being "inspired by Miguel Covarrubias's "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair in the 1930s while featuring "orchestrated conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of their most innovative work."
