Clad in an unusually constructed black Atelier dress, Allegra Versace arrived for the highest profile event in the fashion calendar on the arm of her mother, Donatella, who was also showcasing a gown from the family's own label in an aqua blue hue.
 
The 22-year-old aspiring actress, who is a stakeholder in the Versace company, and her 54-year-old designer mother were among the celebrity guests attending the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, which was this year hosted by designer Marc Jacobs.
 
Themed 'The Model As Muse' the benefit ball once again attracted a who's who from the world of fashion and the silver screen. Kate Moss, Madonna, Anne Hathaway, expectant Heidi Klum and Liv Tyler were among the stylish sirens who glammed up for the big night
