uh-muse-zing

The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York held its spring gala Monday night. This year's ball was in honor of its exhibition "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion." Celebs were paired with designers and I'm assuming that the fashion designers drew their inspiration from the celebs. Although I have to say that when I saw some of the outfits, it seriously made me wonder if the designer was actually inspired or out for revenge. Here are a few of my "what were they thinking" favorites and a speculative guess as to the method behind the madness. 

KATY PERRY IN TOMMY HILFIGER


MADONNA IN SIR WALTER RALEIGH...er uh, LOUIS VUITTON

DIANE VON FURSTENBURG in her own design
[bra optional, but when you're her age, you should know better]


RIHANNA IN LOUIS VUITTON

ANNA WINTOUR IN VINTAGE CHANEL
[I guess now we know what Karl Lagerfeld was doing 
when he came up with this little number]

And, last but not least, LEIGHTON MEESTER IN LOUIS VUITTON
[Some things are a given...never run with scissors, never spit into the wind 
and never EVER design clothing when you are snockered]
