Solange with the Kenzo duo is such a perfect match up, and it'll be interesting to see how they interpret punk... it'll be interesting to see how everyone interprets it, really. The only duos that really stand out as "punk" in that whole lineup is Lily Cole/Vivienne Westwood and Givenchy/Rooney Mara

ETA: Though I'm sure most people won't be "interpreting" it at all, but rather just looking very glamorous

Solange with the Kenzo duo is such a perfect match up, and it'll be interesting to see how they interpret punk...

That was my thought as well. The only one on the list that when I read the pairing I immediately was like, "I really hope they do not disappoint!" And of course looking forward to seeing several other people too, Eddie Redmayne will probably stand out amongst the men. And I hope Mindy Kaling tweets some awesome comments and photographs, her twitter feed is aways pretty brilliant.

 

[Prairie]

Looks like Katy Perry is also going.

Yes. She'll be wearing Dolce & Gabbana.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

[FASHIONLOVA]

[Chanelcouture09]

Anja Rubik will be wearing Anthony Vaccarello (again).

 

[sobriquet87]

Emma Watson is gonna be here as well, right?

According to various twitter sightings, she's in New York, so it's possible.
However, her last tweet was about being fitted for Cannes. She didn't mention the MET ball at all.
