What do Kirsten Dunst, Kerry Washington and Jessica Alba have in common? All three hit the Met Ball red carpet outfitted in Gap. Well, sort of!
Gap sponsored the Met ball this year as Gap’s designer Patrick Robinson paired up with CFDA/Vogue fashion fund winners; Alexander Wang, Rodarte, Sophie Theallet, and Thakoon to create 8 red carpet looks for the event.
