Every year, the Met Costume Institute Gala is held amid a frenzy of fashion-focused buzz. After all, little can compare to an event that's centered around style and flocked to by the fashion elite on an annual basis!

This year, there's more intrigue than ever. Word is out on who designers are bringing, what people are wearing and where they'll be sitting, so as to be expected, fashion tongues are wagging. First of all, Marc Jacobs will be escorting two dates (not including his adorable hubby-to-be). Rumor has it that the designer will be joined by Madonna and Courtney Love, two women who, you might recall, had a bit of a run-in during an interview at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. We can only dream of the drama that could ensue at the Louis Vuitton table. Oh, and Anne Hathaway will be at the table, too. At least her experience with all those girl fights in "Bride Wards" might come in handy.

Then, Jennifer Aniston backed out of attending as Vogue's guest. (Can you imagine the steam under La Wintour's bob?) Apparently, when Jen agreed, she was unaware that the commitment would be so involved.

There's a whole list of who is actually going with whom, but we have a few ideas of our own.

We'd love to see Vanessa Hudgens join Karl Lagerfeld, mostly because we're dying to see how she and Zac Efron would respond to some of his more colorful comments. A character from "High School Musical," Mr. Lagerfeld is not.

While we're on the topic of Karl, we should note that Diane Kruger will join him at the Chanel table. Now, if we can just make sure that her seat (which we presume will be next to Joshua Jackson's) is in direct sight of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, we can finally, finally figure out if there's still a flame between Joey and Pacey. Come on, you know you're dying to know, too.

What odd pairing would you give up your Gucci to see walk the red carpet? Comment below.
