Met Museum Costume Institute Ball: The Good
Screw The Oscars! If you're looking for stars, for glam, for style, and sartorial derring-do, take a gander at the 80's-inflected glam-o-rama that was last night's Met Ball, the ne plus ultra of red carpets!

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button's Terrible Australian Premiere
Remember how at Yesterday's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button premiere everyone looked really good and even the "Bads" were pretty awesome? Well, as we know, everything in Australia is the opposite of here (well, at least seasons and the way toilets drain), and so it was with last night's Button premiere at the Sydney Theatre. Everyone looked strange, even the "Goods" were pretty lousy, and (an undoubtedly massively jet-lagged) Cate Blanchett? Shocking! The Kinda Good, the Really Bad... after this Antipodean jump. More » -

Solicitations: Help Me Choose A Holiday Party Outfit
A few months ago, with your help, I successfully met the parents. You'd think that would be the end of such sartorial stresses, but no: on the strength of this, I have been invited to my fiancé's family's annual huge holiday party, where I will meet his sisters, all his parents' friends, various exes, and basically everyone of importance in his life. Obviously the outfit is the least of it but — and it's a big but —when you feel good about that it's a real load off. Here are the deets: it's in L.A., so my NYC winter finery's a bit heavy but it's in some hilly, woodsy area and there will be a fire. When pressed, my fiance said vaguely that the women wear "festive" ensembles of skirts and tops; his dad will be sporting a Christmas sweater. From these unhelpful guidelines I have assembled the following options: -

The Curious Case Of The Awesome Benjamin Button Premiere
As everybody knows, the Brad Pitt flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald story in which a guy is born in his 80s and ages backwards to a baby. The premiere, in Westwood, was excellently star-studded: Brad and Angie, natch, costar Cate Blanchett, but also Jennifer Lopez, our girl Tilda Swinton, Eva Longoria, well-dressed young person Emma Roberts, and a cast of thousands. While the goods were good and even the bads had a lot going for them, a few ensembles — notably J.Lo and Cate — defy easy categorization. A curious case, after the jump! More » -

Morning, dearest kids! And welcome to the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors — even if, yes, they were actually last night and actually airing on December 30th. Whatevs! For our purposes, we're in D.C. to see Barbra Streisand, Morgan Freeman, Twyla Tharp and the bulk of The Who honored for general famousness! As befits the occasion, dignity was the byword: Queen Latifah and Joss Stone channeled old-school glamour; Barbra channeled old-school glitz; and Beyonce?

UNICEF Snowflake Ball
Did Everyone Look Amazing At UNICEF's Snowflake Ball?
If you were a socialite, wouldn't you want to go to an event called the "Snowflake Ball?" The annual UNICEF event was held at New York's Cipriani, and Lucy Liu, Tea Leoni, Barbara Bush, and various other glamourpusses looked rad for a cause. Of course, it wasn't all great… Or was it? Once again, I call upon you to determine whether one of these baffling getups is a Do or a Don't — after the jump. More » -
18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards
Excellent Indie Fashion At Gotham Indie Film Awards!
When you've got Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, and Penelope Cruz together at a single event, it's a pretty safe bet the clothes are going to be good. And so it was at last night's 18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards (held, for some reason, at NYC's Museum of Finance), where experimentation was the order of the day, retro-shapes ruled, and people got away with an unseemly amount. For the most part, I was very Mike Mulligan (dug it) but there was one case where...well, judge for yourselves, after the jump. More » -
