Met's Costume Institute Ball Celebrates Supermodels

Last night the rich, famous, recession-proof and beautiful came together under the roof of the Met for the annual Costume Institute Ball, in celebration of the museum's new exhibit called Model as Muse. While last year the theme was superhero, this year's was supermodel, and Style has a thorough rundown of the glamorous night (that the NY Post thought was more Zoolander-inspired). The evening wasn't without some drama, of course, the NY Times reports that designer Azzedine Alaïa wasn't included in the exhibit, so some of his muses, like Naomi Campbell, refused to attend. There were still plenty of best and worst dressed to gawk at, however.

That's a whole boatload of creative, albeit fugly, outfits there. And while I know everyone is going to single out and Olsen or a manly woman's choice of headpiece to douse with hateraid, I'm going to have to say... "Damn! Tom Brady's got some kickin' five head going on!"

Last picture: Madonna and Jessica Seinfeld. Madonna looks batshit crazy.

Personally, I think she has Raccoon Ringworm (or Roundworm, depending). These are clearly the side effects at work.

yeah madonna does not look good. that's what happens when you adopt spoiled brats from africa.

Rianna looks like mickey mouse.
Ashley was the best dressed.
the rest: meh

Was the McCord/Vankempen crew there? Thank you for not subjecting our eyes to them if they were.

Names make perfectly sufficient captions.

Ahh, proof that money does not buy a good sense of style. And to Leighton Meester and Madonna, FTW!

Looks like 'Mine That Bird' shat on top of Tyra's head.

First came an American "Office", now a Ciccone/Seinfeld revival of AbFab!?!? Color me thrilled!
