We always knew that the annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan was popular, but this year it read like a who's who list. All of Hollywood's top leading ladies -- like Cameron Diaz and Gisele Bundchen -- were on the scene, posing pretty for shutterbugs. This year's event celebrated the work of artist Paul Poiret, who was considered France's "King of Fashion" before World War I. In honor of Hollywood and hemlines, play critic and tell us: Are these ladies dressed to the nines -- or royal messes?
