There's a Canadian gossip site that I read and the person who writes was at the Gala 4 years ago. During it, she said that she was "dressed down" by Anna W. Can you imagine?!
There were a lot of very interesting statement dresses. I think I've seen almost all of the outfits. Now Anja Rubik knows how to pull a Jolie leg!
Some pretty fugly fashion, imo.

I don't think that's a small group - I mean the people who've been dressed down by Anna Wintour! A friend of mine was a journalist writing about design when Anna was coming up in the business. Even then, apparently, she acted like the Queen of Sheba. The stories Tim Gunn told about her in his last book were just embarrassing. Of course, she doesn't have the sense to be embarrassed about requiring several men to carry her down numerous flights of stairs after a fashion show because she couldn't walk in her shoes. A normal, sane person wouldn't even think of asking people to do something like that!Originally Posted by canadian_angel
I looked at some pics of the gala this morning and thought there were some fabulous dresses! Of course, some people took it too far into the "costume" area, but I didn't see too many that I thought were horrid. I actually enjopy it when people take some risks. At an event like that, I find basic black gowns really boring. I'd rather see someone be daring and fail than see a bunch of people play it safe. If you're going to go for it, that's the right event!
Looking at the pics also confirmed for me that, if I were to ever go to the gala, I would look like a wildebeast next to all those teeny little actresses and models. I'll bet many of them hadn't eaten for a week!
I found Anna Ruik's jutting hip bone kind upsetting. Ick.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
I really liked the yellow strapless with the peplum. There was another almost copy, but from a better known designer that had black strips on the bodice. I heard on Fashion Star that this year's Spring/Summer color was to be yellow and those two dresses stood out for me.
Florence Welch and Sarah Jessica Parker were the worst IMNSHO!!
Also, for a "fashion designer" Rachel Zoe looked horrid. Really - if that's what she thinks looks good on her, how exactly is she qualified to determine what looks good on others?
The other stuff is supposed to be outre so I didn't really mind. In fact, I thought it was a bit tame compared to previous years.
Yeah - Nasty.I found Anna Ruik's jutting hip bone kind upsetting. Ick.
ETA: I think Beyonce's dress was good for the event but it would have worked a little better if the underlayment was closer to her actual skin tone. The "illusion" would have been more complete.
