Details from the Met Gala red carpet

And, also, many paintings on the red carpet.

Yes. One woman was wearing a Water Liliesdress to Hunter Schafer wearing the Klimt dress, the gown after the Klimt painting. It was amazing.

You know what's so interesting is I find it very hard. My favorite look of the night-- and I was telling this to Gayle King, my co-host on CBS Mornings-- there were a lot of contenders. But I love Naomi Osaka's. I love how she came in and then did the reveal. I love how it paid tribute to art but, also, to her Japanese heritage. But I struggle with the men. Why do I love like, women's fashion? But when I see the guys, I'm like, lame, gross, corny. Like, you guys help me understand this. I liked Jay-Z's brooch. The brooch, for a man, has become a big thing. And it's kind of overdone. But I thought that Jay-Z looked good. I agree. I think men have taken bigger risks at other fashion events, like, at the Oscars. The men were pretty subdued this time. [INAUDIBLE] like the Heated Rivalryguys. [OVERLAPPING SPEECH] I was here for that halter top on Connor. He looked amazing. He had a halter top on, with his big muscular muscles. And I was like-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] [LAUGHTER] I don't think it's about the fashion for Adriana.

No, it was amazing. Here's Colman Domingo brought it. So what's really interesting about Colman Domingo is he told us that this piece was inspired by a Basquiat piece of art called, the Pez Dispenser. I think we have a photo of it. It's the same colors. And the Pez Dispenser artwork has a crown. And he said that he feels like, he's wearing a crown. His hair is his crown, so it was fantastic.

I love that it's not a direct interpretation. And he has such amazing personal style. I, also, love A$AP Rocky and Chanel. He's the cutest.

He was the cutest. Do we have that? Let's see A$AP Rocky. A$AP wore this pink kind of like, loud suit. And he was like, I'm from Harlem. I can wear pink. I can wear whatever I want. He was very, very cute.

All right. [OVERLAPPING SPEECH]

Yeah, I can jive with that. And Rihanna looks amazing, as always.

Oh, yeah. Lauren and I have, I think, the same best-dressed.

We do. What are they. The model, Paloma Elsesser, oh, my goodness. She was like, a walking painter's palette. I don't know if we have that photo of her. There she is, gorgeous.

That is really nice.

Lauren, what's the story behind her gown?

So the dress was commissioned by eBay. The designer is Francesco Risso. He has a new project. It was made of 30 dresses. It was gorgeous. It probably isn't technically couture. But it is beyond couture. She just looked so beautiful. And there were a lot of direct interpretations last night. This was just a work of art. Fashion is Art was the theme. Can I ask, quickly, before we move on to talk about other stuff, Lauren Sanchez's dress? She's a co-chair of the Met Gala. And many people, who are familiar with art, very quickly picked up on the fact that she was referencing a piece of artwork from the 19th century by John Singer Sargent, Madame X.Lauren, take us through what that painting represented and why we think Lauren Sanchez Bezos picked this. Well, there are many. Who knows why?

OK. I think Claire Foy, also, was wearing a Madame X-esquedress. And I say hers was a little bit more of a direct interpretation. But the thing about this dress, to me, was it was pretty understated, especially for the designer, Daniel Roseberry, who does Schiaparelli. And I don't know. I thought she looked nice. Given that she was the star of the evening-- they were co-chairs. They rumordly paid $10 million to help. Sponsor the event. And Anna Wintour ended up raising $42 million. Including that money that they gave. So when we save the record is broken, I mean--

The Bezos contributed to that.

It was $31 million last year, $42 this year. So why she chose that? Was she really doing her homework?

Maybe she was trying to be understated, knowing the controversy that her presence brought. I mean, she walked the red carpet, but Bezos didn't. What did you like, Kelly? So I more go with like, the first thing that pops into my mind. Like, Kim Kardashian, how do you go to the bathroom in that dress? Heidi Klum, way too much committed to the theme. But I respect that commitment. Nobody knew who Heidi was. Everyone was like, who is that? And then they said, Heidi. It's like, of course, it's Heidi. Because that's what Heidi does on Halloween. Naomi Osaka was another one that you didn't know who she was. Because before she did that reveal-- I don't know if we have any video of Naomi-- she had a really low hat on. So we had no idea who that was. Katy Perry walked the red carpet. [OVERLAPPING SPEECH] She had a fencing mask on. And then she revealed it. And everyone was like, oh, it's Katy Perry. But you know what one of my favorite things about being there was? You probably saw this in years past. Just the fact that this is a spectacle for everyone. It's a spectacle for the celebrities. It's a spectacle for the press. And then you have tourists or regular New Yorkers on the public bus on Fifth Avenue. The street is open. And they can see right in. And all of the people on the bus are just plastered against the window to try to see what's going on, with all of their phones. It is so cool. People on Divvy bikes trying to peek in. It was amazing. So, Lauren, you do this every year. But, Adriana, would you want to go back and do this for us again? Of course I would, yes. I mean, Nate usually goes. And I have to say, Nate came to me. He goes, would you want to do the Met Gala? Because I have a scheduling conflict. And I said, I'm here to serve. I didn't know that. Yes, he was the one that suggested me. So this is Nate's thing. But if ever he's not available, I am here. Because I did it three years in a row for the show. And by the end, I was like, please get me off this thing. Really? Yes, I'll tell you why after the break. Adriana Diaz and Lauren Sherman, thank you both very much.
