Did you catch a glimpse of the celebrities who sashayed on the 2012 LACMA Art + Film Gala purple carpet over the weekend?

If you have, you would agree it was an ultra-glamorous affair. We saw many of fall’s jewel colors, from yellow gold to emerald to amethyst.

But what truly caught our attention were the jaw-droppingly beautiful embellished high-neckline dresses worn by Cameron Diaz, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kerry Washington, Amber Heard, and Bella Heathcote. To say their frocks were exquisite would have been an understatement.

Yes, ladies, Gucci’s floral theme decorated dresses from Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 ruled the event. Aren’t the dresses to die for? No doubt, they’re quite the eye candy, yes? With jeweled necklines like that (made of pearls, crystals, precious stones, and glass beads), you really won’t need much to stand out; put on your heels, and you’re all set for the night!

We’re crushing on Bella Heathcote’s A-line number big time, but we’d have to say Amber Heard’s gilded black is our favorite. Which one is yours?
