Lily Collins Cutens Up 2012 Met Gala

Showing off her sexy style, Lily Collins was in the house for the 2012 Met Gala “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” earlier tonight (May 7).

The “Abduction” starlet showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art sporting a semi-see-through white long-sleeved gown as she hobnobbed with industry bigwigs prior to the big shindig.

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."
