Anna Wintour's "Curious" Dress At The Big Ball

trilbylane — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:26:32 EDT

Ow. Scarlett needs to give her breast tissue a break, let gravity do its thing, and stop hoisting everything she's got upwards into that painful-looking veiny double-bulge formation. If she squeezes those things any more they're going to start popping out in weird places, and then she will look like Anna Wintour's dress.

Wintour, meanwhile, must have nightmares about armies of malign bobby pins coming for her, forcibly fixing back her hair, and exposing more than that tiny triangle of restylane that she calls a face. In a few more years the only option left for her will be to grow out her bangs into a Cousin Itt-inspired full-face bob. For if we cannot see her face at all, we will assume against all chronological evidence that she is twenty-three. Oh yes.

Sofia Coppola looks pretty, in that chilly, sexually unresponsive way of hers.

@Seeräuber Jenny: @HiredGoons: Really?? I thought she looked beautiful! It amazes me, she always seemed so homely to me when she was younger, she has really grown into her looks.

Oh, Karl. Were you trying to compliment Jean-Paul Gaultier's 'mermaid' gown for Marion Cotillard? You should've stuck with what you know and just give Anna a couple leather straps to work with. From what I've been told about her, that's more her style anyway.

Sofia Coppola's dress looks like a reject from Isabella Rossellini's wardrobe in 'Death Becomes Her.'

on Anna - at least when she sits down, she will have armrests.

on Katie - damn girl, your hair looks just like Anna's. You must run.

And what superheroes are the others trying to be?

I agree that Anna looks like she's wearing a ram on her hips. But that jacket! Can we blame ALT for this abomination, too?

Also, who the fuck invited Sarah Silverman to the Costume Ball?!

I actually think Anna Wintour looks awesome. I love the dress. It is avant-garde and it looks awesome on her. Everyone else looks like a pleeb (barring Sofia and Marc, who just look elegant).

ScarJo and Katie need to give up now.

Anna: You're awesome. I like a dress that looks like it has weapons hidden inside it. Also, way to bring the 80s couture crazy.

Katie: Not awesome.

Sarah: Awesome but I think Ben Affleck is going to stop fucking you if you wear stuff like that.

Sofia and Marc: Love.

Scarlett: Congratulations. It is NOT, however, Swan Lake tonight.

@semiserious: Agreed. An interesting theme wasted. At least Katie gave it go with the mixing of primary colors.

I dig Nuclear Wintour's dress. Not sold on the neckline and the jacket but I know that's what ladies of a certain age often feel obligated to slap on. But it's scultpural. And, yes, a bit cochlear, but that's why it's funky fresh and all that.

At least Anna was one of the few whose dress reflected the Superhero/Fantasy theme. Everyone else took it as another excuse the wear the silky, sparkly, drapey, boring bull shit they always wear. Not even one person wearing a cape!

Memo to Benefit Attendees

Anna, go home and change.

Katie, lose the shoes although orange looks good on you.

Sarah, you're actually the cutest of the ones pictured.

Marc, I like that gaunt 12:30 AM shadow look, keep it up.

Scarlett, No. Not. Never. Put down your pencil and go home.

Wendi, hurry and catch up with Anna, you can share a cab and cry together.

In order to enter the party, guests had to answer the following questions asked by Ms. Wintour:

1. What is your name?
2. What is your quest?
3. What is the average air velocity of a Swallow carrying coconuts from Europe?
