The Most Daring Met Gala Dresses Of The Decade

Cate Blanchett gave us a wow moment (like she always does) when she turned up at the 2012 ball in a fully feathered mermaid gown by Alexander McQueen. Though subdued in color, the dress made quite a statement with its rich texture and dramatic hem. It was from the British luxury house's Fall 2012 collection and came with a matching sculptural coat on the runway. Though Cate chose not to wear the coat, she still made an impact.

Her black clutch was by Alexander McQueen as well.
