The display of gorgeous gowns opens to the public on May 19, but designers like Sarah Burton, Alice Temperley, Roksanda Ilincic, Gareth Pugh, John Rocha and Erdem Moralioglu plus model Laura Bailey and actress Joan Collins got a sneak peek. Featuring more than sixty designs for private parties, royal balls, state occasions and opening nights, the exhibition celebrates the V&A's newly renovated Fashion Galleries, which feature red carpet evening dresses and catwalk creations. Click through to see the gorgeous gowns and famous attendees.

Kate Middleton showed her love for Jenny Packham once again this weekend when she stepped out in a floor-length teal gown at an Olympic Concert in London. The British fashion designer, who launched her first collection in 1988 and has twice won British Bridal Dress Designer of the Year, is a firm favourite with celebrities like Kate Hudson and Kate Winslet, who has worn several of her creations in the last few months. With her diffusion line Jenny Packham No. 1 on sale at Debenhams this month, the London-based designer's style is now affordable at all price points. In 2012 alone, plenty of A-list stars have walked the red carpet in a Jenny Packham dress, so take a look at them all and tell me which you like best!
