Sarah Burton is the designer of the moment after designing Duchess Of Cambridge, Kate Middleton wedding dress for the Royal Wedding last week. Last night was Sarah Burton first public appearance, since the Royal Wedding, at the Met Gala Ball held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This year the Met Gala Ball marked the opening of a new exhibition paying tribute to Sarah Burton late friend, Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton was asked to speak about Alexander McQueen at the press conference where she said, 'When I walked into the exhibition I thought of Lee. The emotion, passion and attention to detail that was in everything that he did. I'm very proud to have worked for him. He truly was a genius.'
