Joining a who's who of Tinseltown, Kerry Washington arrived at the 2013 Costume Institute Gala for the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 6).

The "Django Unchained" star showed off her sleeveless Vera Wang gown, Roger Vivier clutch, Louboutin shoes, and Leighton Jewels on the red carpet before heading inside.

Every year, the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art puts together a killer collection of amazing goodies complete with a star-studded party to kick things off.

This time around, the theme is “PUNK: Chaos to Couture,” an examination of punk’s impact on high fashion from the 1970s up to the collections found on today’s runways the world over.
