>Costume Institute Benefit Gala: The Night in Pictures
>
Several paparazzi were temporarily fooled by a drag queen calling himself “Scarlett Bigjohnssen.”
For the first time in recent memory, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen dressed in identical gowns. Here’s Mary Kate in Givenchy…
And here we have the ravishing Ashley, also wearing Givenchy.
In the most embarrassing social gaffe of the evening, Cate Blanchett took her Costume Institute invitation quite literally and arrived dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein.
Jessica Simpson generously allowed her wax figure from Madame Tussaud’s to attend in her place.
Foregoing the traditional limo, Lucy Liu was instead beamed onto the red carpet from the Starship Enterprise.
A 24-hour-coverage Cross Your Heart bra in Basic Black ensured there would be no nip slips for Ivanka Trump!
Gown by Dior. Jewelry by Dollar Tree.
Kate Bosworth put to the test the theory that she would even look good dressed in a sack.
Christina Ricci used the event to launch her one-woman campaign, called “Save the Ozone: Bring Back the Bowl Cut.”
Despite a reported brawl with Edward Scissorhands earlier in the day, Parker Posey insisted on attending the gala, saying only, “You think I look bad, you should see Ed.”
This photo was taken shortly before Juliette Lewis was hauled off by security guards for impersonating a celebrity.
Further investigation revealed that Kirsten Dunst had snuck Ms. Lewis in underneath her dress.
