Kate Moss rocked the golden goddess trend at the MET 2009 Costume Institute Gala. The spectacular one-shouldered gown by designer Marc Jacobs was nearly backless and had a draped length of metallic fabric that fell past her knees.
Miss Moss teamed the ultra-mini dress with a semi-turban headdress in matching material that resembled a golden wreath, in true Grecian style.
She wore little jewelry except for small sapphire blue earrings, a pin in her head-wrap and a couple of sparkling rings.
