Though the Met Gala may seem serious with its formal wear and themes, it's really just an excuse for stars to get together and have fun. At the 2014 event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Monday, friends from Reese Witherspoon [1] and Jessica Alba [2] to Beyoncé and Lupita Nyong'o enjoyed each other's company. Couples also followed suit, like Victoria and David Beckham [3] sharing a smooch and Blake Lively [4] and Ryan Reynolds [5] being too cute for words. Lucky for us, they all shared the snaps on social media!
