For me, the only guest that really nailed it was Sarah Jessica Parker. Incredible. From head - especially head - to toe. That mohawk...
Giovanna Battaglia looked great - safety pin headdress! Then again, she always looks brilliant 24/7.
Anne Hathaway got major bonus points for dyeing her hair platinum blonde and looking very punk-esque. She even showed off her boobs. Was that to take the heat off being the most hated celebrity of the year?
Miley Cyrus was looking cool and punky - a big jump from her Hannah Montana days... For me, she carried it off really well.
I had hoped that Anna Wintour would pull out the stops but alas, she didn't really look punky at all. I guess she went with the Couture part of "Chaos to Couture". Still, Anna Wintour is Anna Wintour.
Same for Gwyneth Paltrow - more couture than chaos, but still gorgeous.
Debbie Harry looked wonderful - basically like Debbie Harry with a little more bling.
Super disappointing was Hilary Rhoda's interviewing technique. She seemed really lost and only lit up when interviewing her fellow models, maybe because she's a bit on the young side to remember Punk in the 70s or to know who her interviewees were. She totally dismissed/ignored Gaia Repossi, jewellery designer, along with a few others. Embarrassing. And introducing Baz Lurhmann and his wife, Catherine Martin as English? Oops.
Billy Norwich committed possibly the ultimate faux pas of the night - cutting off Dame Vivienne Westwood mid-sentence as she was introducing her husband - poor form on many levels! I cringed til I could cringe no more.
In summary, I think most of the guests veered towards the safer end of the spectrum, which was quite disappointing - so Sarah Jessica Parker shone out by a million miles for me. I'd love to see her co-chair the 2014 Met Gala ball.
Some of the designer dresses worn last night are going on sale today via Moda Operandi. Go on, get the credit card out...
