The Costume Institute Gala 2009: The Model as Muse

[CharlottefromCA]

Kate Beckinsale.. very showgirl, but with a little elegance, I think it works, esp given the theatrics of the night.

Madonna.. just. no. words.

Georgina Chapman in Marchesa FW09

and i don't care what anybody says, RIHANNA KILLED IT!

i love that she's so risky with her fashion. she looks amazing. it's really hard to stand-out in a crowd of hundreds of the most beautiful women in the world, all trying to out-do each other with the most exclusive gowns and outfits possible. and Rihanna stands out in this tux. and in a good way, i think! she looks incredible.

Sorry but I totally disagree. Kate Boss already wore a tux to the Met, like three years ago, and while she stood out and looked cool and sexy, Rihanna looks clownish. She looks like she is wearing a costume. She is just totally ridiculous and so tacky.

 

[heyyall]

just caught up with everything. Alek Wek and Iman = gorgeous

totally

Totally agree. She always looks like she tries way too hard.

 

[KaraDanielle11]

I'm so glad Lauren Hutton made it! That seems like such a classic Michael Kors dress to me!

 

[Thefrenchy]

YAY Lauren's here! She looks fantastic! Those colours work very well on her. Such a chic lady

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Yay for Hutton making it, and looking more stunning than ever, love the shot haha.

 

[Mary-Anne]

Anna Hathaway is scaring me, sorry

I love Claudia Schiffer's Versace dress.

 

[scriptgirl]

Lauren Hutton, umm no.
That Marchesa dress looks better on the model than the creator

 

[Marni41]

my god, lauren hutton is ageless.

still waiting on Eva Herzigova - who is supposed to be attending on behalf of Dolce & Gabbana.

and i can't believe that Naomi Campbell isn't there yet.


there was a pic posted a while ago of Ashlie Olsen. it was a close-up on her face. easily the most beautiful photo i have ever seen of her.

there are no words adequate to describe Iman's beauty. the woman is ageless, magnificent, luminescent, sublime, divine ... and yet none of them do her justice completely. how does someone's skin literally glow as if lit from the inside? and HOW OLD IS SHE?!? just incredible.

 

[wednesdays child]

Wow Lauren looks gorgeous!

 

[haksare]

This is Versace's night! B)
So far my favorite goes to Claudia Schiffer, I mean what can beat Atelier Versace??
So far Alek, Iman, Stam, Liv Tyler, and Gisele are my favorite looks

 

[Thanatos]

^Yeah I don't think Naomi's coming.

Naomi will not be attending. See below:

A spokeswoman for Campbell confirmed this afternoon: “As Naomi has been the muse of Azzedine Alaia for 23 years, she feels she doesn’t want to attend unless she can represent his work.” No word on whether Seymour and Evangelista will do the same.

She dropped out due to the Alaia "scandal".

She's 50-something and ECLIPSES models half her age AND those women who have done plastic surgery and botox.

 

[Marpessa]

and i can't believe that Naomi Campbell isn't there yet.

She is not going because of the conflict about Alaia.

Where is Iris in Givenchy? Edita?
Lauren, Iman, Emma Roberts, and Stam all look radiant.
