The annual Costume Institute Ball was last night, so there's a ton of coverage out today.  The ball feted the Wednesday (5/5) opening of the new Costume Institute exhibition: American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.  It runs through August 15th.

I thought Sienna Miller looked great in the dark blue Emilio Pucci dress.



As usual, there were a lot of missteps, perhaps one of the more egregious: Joy Bryant in a frou frou Marchesa gown. (yikes, this looks like an 80s flashback)

Starting next month, the French Institute is hosting a series of three fashion talks with Gilles Mendel, Tommy Hilfiger and Marc Jacobs. They will take place at Florence Gould Hall (59th between Madison and Park Aves) and each talk is $25 or $65 for the series (non-member prices).

You can buy tickets online, use the following links for: the series, Mendel, Hilfiger, Jacobs.

Florence Gould Hall is conveniently close to some great places to grab dinner afterwards: Le Bilboquet, La Houppa, Le Caprice, Nello... etc.
