Costume Institute Gala 2008 "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy"

[JuiceMajor]

Personally Jennifer Conelly's dress is my fav.

 

[Lamia]

Gisele looked stunning.Great figure!

 

[Bahiyya]

Did anyone notice that Fontana was in a similar dress to Gisele's? (They both wore Versace.) I felt kinda sorry for her. The material is different enough but if I were her I still wouldn't have wanted to be photographed beside Gisele. I preferred Isabeli's anyway. Gisele's was kinda boring and only fabulous because of how she wore it. (Albeit that's an envious talent.)

Getty, who can be wrong often, says Christy Turlington was wearing Chanel Couture...Anyone know? Who else was in Chanel...Kate Bosworth, Anna, Lady Amanda, Thandie Newton...is that it?? Is there a list of who wore what??

 

[Candy_lux]

i think gisele's dress was better than isabeli's...
alos, gisele had tom brady as her arm candy and isabeli had rico, who's ugly ( if only she had one of her two ex husbands...)

 

[ysljunkie]

Liya look good( simple and safe though)
Other wise everybody else was pretty good
Wintour 's was just precious in so many ways
and even though I can't stand her on TV Eva (Longoria? whatever) looked good.

I love that Giambattista Valli dress Samantha Boardman Rosen is in! When I first saw it on the runway I wanted someone to wear it but not just anyone could wear it well, and she does.

Did anyone catch the Live from the Red Carpet special on E!? I missed it and I want to know if Karen Elson and Jack were on there. Do you think it will be on again? I don't see it in the schedule for this week.

Yeah Getty is wrong a lot. Vogue says she was in Escada, with Chanel jewels. I'd go with that because that dress does not look like Chanel.

Thanks STL!! They mostly look better than the "stars"!! Ivanka would look stunning if it wasn't. as usual, for the fake boobs messing the whole outfit up... And Tory Burch is adorable, as is Kate Mara! Georgina Chapman was beautiful- anyone know who she was wearing...??
