The Costume Institute Gala at the Met always brings out the heaviest of hitters and this year was no exception.
This year's theme was "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," and this was a big Green Light for Fashion's Best (or at least those who think they are fashion's best) to parade out some flabbergasting looks.
My favorites:
Christina had the best look hands down; if she were a superhero, what would her name be?
Gisele was slammin' and Tom decided to slick his hair back for the occasion...
Ignore everything else but this stunning Alexander McQueen dress:
Claire Danes proves Classic is Classic in this Narciso Rodriguez piece of perfection:
These 2 model gals were rocking the Pucci deliciously...
Continuing my current obsession with Emilio P was Joy Bryant and her mischievous escort Matthew Williamson who was conjuring up the Joker with his fab outfit...
Zac Posen attempted a similar look without much success...
Scarlett used the occasion to show off her new engagement ring and the fact that she knows D & G:
And I was happy to see that the Olsen twin on the left is looking like a real woman instead of what some may describe as a decrepit Dickensonian child in her mother's clothes (see twin on right):
Now on to the inevitable silliness that these events tend to proliferate:
Posh does her best Nancy Reagan impersonation. Just Say NO Victoria!!
I think these gals took the superhero theme and descended a bit too far into Planet Tacky's rough terrain:
Lily is adorable but c'mon you're a grown man...
...and I will not comment on Katie and Tom because they are a target almost as easy as NOT getting to some OT level.
Until next time my friends...
