Costume Institute gala

Thulasi says: "If there is a theme, go for it."

Though the theme was Superheroes, there were not many representing the mood! Unfortunately these events are now swarmed by paparazzi-candy celebrities whose style is whatever their stylist chooses. Everyone PLAYS IT SAFE. If you're given the oppertunity to pull off opulent fashions, DO IT. I've always been the one to do theme dress for theme days/events and end up being pretty much the only one in spirit. C'mon! Half of you shouldn't even be here!

The few that got it:

Anna Wintour, Chanel Haute Couture
Matt Williamson looking like the Joker
Lake Bell, Balmain
Coco Rocha, Pucci
Naomi Watts, Thierry Mugler
Andre Leon Talley, Giorgio Armani suit Chanel cape
Thandie Newton, Chanel
Allison Sarofim, Alexander McQueen
Amber Valletta, Atelier Versace
Lynda fucking Carter, Carolina Herrera
Dee Ocleppo
Caroline Trentini, vintage Thierry Mugler (Love her for this!)
