@ The Met Gala

I was avidly following the live updates on Twitter of The Costume Institute's Met Gala last night I found myself laughing. Half of the photographs I came across were the usual posed paps, celebrities smising whilst looking provocatively over a shoulder, but the other half were the type of back of the taxi shots you'd expect from me on a Saturday night, not Cara Delevingne on her way to the Met. Though of course she was in a limo, not a hackney cab.

As I was compiling a collection of photographs to display on this post I realised that the celebrities' own Twit pics of the night were far more interesting than the official Getty images. It was like flicking through a friend's photo album of the night on Facebook (in a world where me and Rachel Zoe could like each other's updates).

So I have decided to choose the best Instagrams and Twit pics of the night to give this post a behind the scenes effect. There's nothing better than seeing Christina Ricci huddled awkwardly in her car so as not to ruin her Thakoon bow! #lol
