Fashion elite + Met Ball red carpet + Punk: From Chaos to Couture = ?!?!? We can't wait to see certain fashion folks channel (or ignore) the Costume Institute's exhibit as inspiration for tonight's gala. In preparation, we've rounded up sixteen punk pieces to infuse a little chaos and/or couture into your look.

From items we'll probably see tonight (like the Charlotte Olympia x Tom Binns clutch) to the super DIY (Singer safety pins from CVS), click through the gallery for punk-inspired pieces from low to high. Now sit back and watch the exhibit "inspire" 70% of the spring 2014 collections.
