Here is the dress as shown on the Victoria Beckham Collection website.




So, of course last night was the big Costume Institute Gala. Too bad it was a rainy bleak night here in the city. But I'm sure it was fabulous anyway...it better be for a min. $7,500/plate dinner. The New York Times Style section has a write-up about it today, here.

PopSugar, tons of photos.
I think Kate Bosworth looked amazing in this elegant Stella McCartney dress.

And I'd have to say that Victoria Beckham was a miss in this Marc Jacobs and quite ugly Vuitton heels. The dress looks like she took a satin version of Dwell Pin Dot sheets and wrapped them around herself.

There were certainly some stand-outs in the ugly department.

Madonna also in Vuitton. The dress is fine, but the rest?

Anyway, I think today is one of the best days for fashion of the year. Well, I mean today for those of us who didn't actually go to the Gala, we have to wait until the day after to see all the fashion...
I think it's SO obvious who had the best dress (and overall look) at the Golden Globes this year. A pretty dress is not good enough, it has to be unique and stand out.
Eva Mendes in her white Dior looked amazing! The color looks great with her skin, and the fit and cut and of the dress are very flattering. The brilliant finishing touch was the turquoise jewelry! Really, diamonds are great but so awards-ceremony-predictable.
What happened here? Renee usually has great red carpet style! This Carolina Herrera dress looks more like something Bridget Jones would wear; it looks frumpy. And the hair doesn't help either.

Most improved look I would have to say goes to Evan Rachel Wood. She went through that scary goth phase when she was dating Marilyn Manson. Thank goodness that's over. She looks quite elegant in this Elie Saab dress and softer make-up.

Here's a tie for worst hair of the night. Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. Yikes, why does Cameron's hair look like it's two different colors? Not good. And Drew's looks like a Mariyln Monroe redux, just she can't pull that off. It looks bad-silly.
