Forget restraint and playing it safe. Celebrities and designers descended en masse, and looked uniformly dramatic and amazing, at New York’s premier fashion event, the Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night. The theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass,” and while that kind of mattered, it also kind of didn’t. The celebs clearly read the invitation as “We are going all out, bitches. ALL OUT.”
Sarah Jessica Parker wore a headdress, J.Lo came in a bit of material that covered things—ish—and while
Rihanna looked like she had won the evening outright in an amazing yellow gown, Beyoncé had not yet arrived. Then Beyoncé arrived. Oh my goodness, then Beyoncé arrived. Her Givenchy gown featured embroidery that barely covered what it needed to cover, but it did—just about. And it is probably one of the most stunning red carpet looks of recent times: daring, glamorous, beautiful, audacious, show-stopping. We are still breathless.
