The stars were out Monday night in New York City for the ‘Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations’ Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art … but when it all came down to it, Beyonce was the main attraction, donning a dress that left little to the imagination.

Rihanna also looked quite stunning in her much sleeker, skin-tight crocodile applique dress.
