Classic glamour rules at big New York event
Print Edition
OLD-STYLE glamour — especially in black and white — ruled the night as stars of Hollywood and the fashion world converged on the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening for the annual Costume Institute gala, the biggest event on the New York fashion calendar.
This year, the glamour quotient was raised a notch after last year’s punk theme. This time women focused on flowing gowns, and men were asked to dress in white tie — full evening dress, including tails. A few men even brought along their top hats.
The white-tie request was in keeping with the theme of this year’s Costume Institute exhibit, which opened to the public last Friday: “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” James, who died in 1978, was a mid-20th century designer who specialized in spectacular, sculptured gowns made with intricate draping techniques. It’s the inaugural exhibit of the new, US$40 million Anna Wintour Costume Center, named for the Vogue editor. Wintour herself, overseeing the evening’s festivities, wore multi-colored Chanel couture. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker zeroed right in on the theme of James-like glamour, wearing a sumptuous Oscar de la Renta ball gown with a black bodice and flowing white skirt, with a gridlike pattern on the back.
