Sarah Jessica Parker and designer Valentino Garavani kicked off the New York City Ballet Gala, for which the designer created costumes.

 

Daphne Guinness didn't shy away from her standard avant-garde style with a tribal-influenced necklace with a floor-length gown. Check out that slit!

 

Anne Hathaway — will be wearing Valentino for her upcoming wedding — went romantic for this red carpet, with a poet-sleeved dress.

 

Olivia Palermo rocked some serious layered pleats, but what really caught our eye? That bag!

 

Knockout Karolina Kurkova sported the designer's beloved color red in a gown and accompanying cape.

 

Brothers Peter and Harry Brant balanced one another in a classic tuxedo and Shakespearean inspired cape, suitably an homage to the designer's penchant for opulence. 

 

Here, Elettra Wiedemann references the 1970s in her floor-length dress with sheer sleeves and striking pattern.

 

The always-chic husband and wife duo Mazdek Rassi and Zanna Roberts Rassi looked stylish. 

 

Sarah Jessica Parker looked stylish as ever, hosting the gala in a floor-length, off-white floral gown.

 

Tamara Mellon also gave a nod to the designer in her fully red look.

 

Tory Burch kept it simple in a black dress updated with embellishments.

 

Carlos Souza and Nati Abascal were a vision — we love Nati's use of velvet, one of fall's most key trends. 

 

The concept of retirement just isn’t in the cards for  designer Valentino Garavani. Last night, he arrived at the New York City Ballet Gala at Lincoln Center with host and ballet board member Sarah Jessica Parker on his arm, before unveiling one-of-a-kind costumes he created for the ballet. (He also revealed at the gala that he’ll indeed be designing the dress for pal Anne Hathaway’s upcoming nuptials).

Supporters of both fashion and the arts were in attendance, many wearing some of fall’s most popular trends — from Shakespearean-inspired opulence to dark, floral patterns. Naturally, several attendees also sported Valentino’s signature red, notably Karolina Kurkova who stunned in a red gown and cape.

Read on to get a glimpse of some of the best-dressed guests at the gala.
