Yes, Anne, Gothamist will call you crazy: It looks like Anne Heche (left) had the evening's wacky quotient filled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, Dangerous Liaisons (read: lots of corsets and bustles). We also liked how the Times's headlined it a "Night of the Living Art" (you can't fool us!) and Guy Trebay pointed out:
Andre Leon Talley, the editor at large at Vaogue, swept up the stairs...in a volumnious 18th century greatcoat designed for him by Karl Lagerfeld and hauling the teensy Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger like a gilded minaudiere.
It's Gothamist's word of the day: Minaudiere. Renee is way teensy, so for larger-than-life fun, check out Andre Leon Talley's autobiography, A.L.T., which is a hoot.
J.Lo, Charlize, Scarlett, Julianne, Sofia...Mandy - they were all there last night. Check out some photos from Yahoo! News and Wireimage.
The International Herald Tribune's Suzy on the exhibit; The Times on how some guests tried to approach dressing for the event. Some movies with great corsets: Dangerous Liaisons (yes, duh), Elizabeth, Gone with the Wind, My Fair Lady, Truth or Dare.
