Saturday night, The Imperial Court of New York held its 26th annual Night of a Thousand Gowns event. The not-for-profit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender group threw down the type of costumed gala that will have the Met biting its fingernails.

Midnight saw the coronation of Imperial Crown Prince Royal Ritz Kraka and Imperial Crown Princess Royale Witti Repartee, while celebs like Rose McGowan and Christopher Sarandon showed their support for the LGBT community with their attendance. Money raised for the event will be donated to PFLAG NYC and New Alternatives.

The prince of jewels is bedazzling as a post-Patty's Day leprechaun. Except you'll find a pot of Swarovski crystals, not gold, in his lucky pot.
