There were millions of dollars of diamonds and bejeweled clutches galore at last night’s Met Gala in New York, but the hottest accessory was definitely a good-looking guy in a tux.

Jessica Biel arrived on the arm of fiancé Justin Timberlake; she worked an ivory satin deep-V gown with jade stones by Prada (and that ring!) while he accessorized his tux with a Cartier watch. Gisele Bündchen (in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci) looked equally lovely on the arm of husband Tom Brady, who drew lots of looks for his new hairstyle.

What Makes ‘The Five-Year Engagement’ Fashion So Fun?

You’re probably already a bit stoked to see The Five-Year Engagement this weekend, but drooling over Jason Segel isn’t the only reason to buy a ticket; the fashion is pretty great, too.

“It was fantastic,” costume designer Leesa Evans tells PEOPLE of her time on set. “And what made it so fun was the fact that Emily Blunt and Alison Brie both love fashion so much, too.”

In the film, the actresses play sisters Violet and Suzie, two British transplants with very different style sensibilities. “Leesa really wanted to create something very singular for Violet,” Blunt says. “She likes vintage shops … doesn’t have that much money. [She wore] stuff she found in a thrift store that she’d tailor and alter.”

In a plunging pantsuit, gilded choker and auburn waves, Emily Blunt has never looked as glam as she does in the video for Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium fragrance — but she’s not quite sure she pulled it off.

“God, I’m so un-French in that trailer,” she laments to U.K.’s The Telegraph of the video (below), in which she deftly dodges a lunging leopard while wearing sky-high heels.

Asked why she was invited to join the ranks of supermodel Linda Evangelista, who once fronted the fragrance, The Muppets star says, “I don’t know. I’ve no idea.” Perhaps “there was no one else?” before asserting: “They made a mistake, a terrible mistake.”

We’re a little addicted to Emily Blunt, and it seems Yves Saint Laurent is, too! Today the company announced that the British actress is the new face and ambassadress of its iconic fragrance, Opium.

“She quite obviously embodies who we feel to be today’s Opium woman,” YSL president Renaud de Lesquen said in a release.

The actress, who said she’s “honored” to represent the brand, expressed her admiration for YSL, too. “It is a really exciting experience to embody this legendary fragrance, which has stood the test of time,” she shared. “Being a part of this new campaign and being able to tell the story of this very evocative fragrance is a real thrill.”

Hollywood’s hottest new dress has major stars in stripes! Since Aug. 2, six sexy celebs have stepped out in Express’s three-quarter sleeved striped dress (Emily Blunt sported the black-and-white version for a night out on the town) — a steal at only $50.

Each star’s own spin on the dress showed off its versatility. From left, Amanda Seyfried and Emmy Rossum added casual accessories to walk about town; Zoë Saldana belted hers and added posh camel accessories to run errands; January Jones continued her maternity chic streak by adding embellished sandals and a slate bag; and Olivia Munn hit the red carpet in knee-high boots and gold necklaces.

You can share the stars’ style by nabbing the dress yourself — it’s still available at Express.com — but first tell us: Who wore her striped Express dress best?
