All of the important pretty people got dressed up for the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, which was themed "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy."
Vogue editor
Anna Wintour wore the Karl Lagerfeld Chanel dress on the left. Of this creation, Australia's

got it horribly wrong;" one blogger said it was "one of a kind... which is good because
we don't need two of those;" and the diplomatic
Times said it "had
curiously curling crescents attached at the hips and the shoulders, giving Ms. Wintour... the fuller-bodied appearance of Botticelli’s Venus on her clamshell." Ah, "curious," not the highest of compliments. Anna could use a break, what with the LeBron James
King Kong cover, the
Rodarte weight thing, getting dissed by European fashionistas, etc. etc. Sad, pitiable Anna. Laugh (at a few more media celebrities' outfits, starting with
Katie Holmes, pictured right) through tears (for sad monster Wintour) after the jump.
