Costume Institute Gala 2008 "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy"

[bluedolphin]

where's top models?

 

[missophisticated]

imo i think the best was diane kruger, christina ricci & gisele bundchen

worst: kimora lee simmons, rachel bilson, victoria beckham

 

[Versace-Goddess]

What a night. Some beautiful gowns and some bad choices.

Ma favorite were for sure:

Gisele
Molly
Beyonce
Camille Belle

not sure about Victoria´s dress.

 

[Tinuviel]

Anna looks like a supervillain

Too true.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

Jennifer Lopez looks nice as well, she could do it better but a think she still works the whole diva look.

 

[Kanna]

I love Amber's dress!

 

[KKnardi]

Julia Roberts looks really good, I think Gisele looks elegant in versace! many +++ for them. what is anna wearing? is that really chanel haute couture? no, couture-gone-tragic!

 

[BonjourTristesse]

The Good:

Ashley Olsen : Stunning.
Katie Holmes: Got to give her credit for being so brave : She really nailed the theme.
Kate Bosworth: Never disappointing. I love her. Nailed the theme as well, great hair and figure.
Camilla Belle: Does she ever not wear the most beautiful dress? Her style is so underrated .


The very most people at the event looked bad to ugly. Very disappointing.

 

[BonjourTristesse]

Oh dear, I forgot Sofia Coppola. Definitley second in the "Best dressed" list. I love it.

 

[discothequechic]

I feel like there is so much left unanswered!and style.com haven't even posted their pics yet..hurry up!I've only seen one picture of marc jacobs and he was with sofia coppola; anyone know if they arrived together? anyone know if coppola was wearing MJ?and where was christopher bailey? or NICOLAS GHESQUIERE OR CARINE!?I think Anna made a point of uninviting all the cool people.

 

[mistress_f]

does anybody know who designed christina ricci's dress? im so in love with that

 

[Luti21]

i like dita. sadly she was photographed on stairs so she looks bit bad on photos. i also like MK dress but not her in it because she looks like one of those crooked walking-sticks. overall they all look off the theme. i would have worn gold swimsuit that covers also hands and legs. and maybe some pretty see-trough thing on it for dress.
i also like victoria's dress. it looks very good on her and very feminine. not like her other dresses that look like they are made of iron and rubber and don't let her breathe in them.
i hate katie's dress. she always wears those stupid calf-length dresses with high heels. horrible look.

 

[discothequechic]

i think ricci's dress was givenchy?
soso cute
i'm guessing she was going down the wonderwoman route but i love how its kind of valentines-ish!

[mlsnts]

Best dressed: Christina Ricci

Honorable mentions: Thandie, Kate B (although she didn't really go with the theme)

Worst: ..The rest? lol

Rachel looks like a drowned seal, and Anja looks like Skeletor.

 

[Erin]

Loved Christina...

Ashley Olsen, actually...

I thought Katie Holmes stuck with the theme wonderfully. Bonus points for that.

Maggie... different, but the dress very fitting to the theme, as well...

Julia looked wonderful, but I wasn't seeing the superhero.

 

[harrietcamilla]

Sasha Pivovarova (she actually looks a little like a superhero)



Caroline Trentini

[sweetest_313]

is it bad that i was kinda hoping someone would show up wearing a mask?

 

[Tinuviel]

Best so far:
Christina Ricci - daring much! such a stand out among yawnworthiness of the evening
Amber Valetta - stunning & totally apropos
Naomi Watts - class act
Ashley Olsen - didn't fit the theme but when did she become such a little knockout?
Kate Moss - nice touches
Kate Bosworth - amazing shoes & so unexpected (hate the eyemakeup though)
Jessica Stam
Camilla Belle
Sofia Coppola
Lake Bell - Balmain ftw!
Caroline Trentini - love the LBD, bad makeup

Close but not quite:
Diane Kruger - gorge as usual, but she didn't take any chances
Rachel Bilson - love the dress but her hair was a hot MESS. A sleek pulled back do would've made that outfit.
Sasha Piv
Raquel Zimmerman - best make up of the night
Thandie Newton - good try but comes across as trashy
Jennifer Connelly
Karolina Kurkova
Katie Holmes - silly but props for trying
Gisele - stone cold fox, but insipid color choice and slightly trashy
Molly Sims
Michelle Monaghan - Poison Ivy-esque, little sombre though
Fergie

Boring but still Gorgeous:
Liv Tyler
J Lo
Sarah Michelle Geller

Just plain boring:
Kristin Davis
Taylor Swift
Emmy Rossum
Eva Longoria
Claudia Schiffer

FAIL:
MKA - ssup SuperGran!
Scarlett Johanssen - boring prom, and that type of dress does nothing for her squat figure
Amanda Peet - to quote french chick from SATC, 'Heeeeeeeeedeous just hideous'
Sarah Silverman - I. have. no. words.
Maggie Gyllenhaal - Little Miss Moffatt on acid
Piper Perabo - who is she supposed to be? Snooty art deco strumpet?
Mischa B

Such a pity nobody wore these dresses by Felipe Oliveira Baptista, so perfect for the theme.

I was hoping that too.
