The Costume Institute Gala was bigger than the Oscars in terms of pictures, but I was determined to find Oluchi Onweagba, after Dominika was disappointed I didn’t feature her the first time around.
Dominka I promised you, if I’d found these pictures yesterday, I wouldn’t have left Oluchi out intentionally. Talk about goddess.
The gorgeous model is simply breath-taking in her black and white Oscar de la Renta Fall 2009 gown.
January Jones was also a golden girl wearing a Michael Kors metallic long sleeved shift dress.
I’m getting a early Sienna Miller hippy 60s chic vibe from this look.
Anna Friel goes way too short in a sassy lace strapless bustier dress, with strappy black sandals.
She’s a little too naked for this type of event imo.
Rosario Dawson wore a bubble-gum pink Diane von Furstenberg strapless ruched gown.
I love colour, but I’m not getting much va va voom from her, just like I didn’t get it from Eva Mendes.
Arriving on the arm of the designer herself, Elizabeth Banks looked fantastic in an Alberta Ferretti mini dress.
I love the cut with its plunging black sequined neckline, with the navy embellished skirt.
Short, sassy and sweet, that best describes Milla Jovovich as she arrived wearing a chartreuse mini Marni Fall 2009 dress, with an embroidered beaded neckline.
Taupe peep-toes from the same collection completed the look.
Hilary Swank wore a Calvin Klein burnt orange dress. What I like about this dress is the gathered details.
Hilary is such a blank canvas, you can give her almost anything and she would pull it off, so I would have preferred her in something a lot more interesting.
I still swoon when I think about her wearing that stunning Givenchy Couture lilac dress to Fashion Rocks last year.
Cheryl Tiegs looked outstanding and graceful wearing a midnight blue vintage Norman Norell sequined covered strapless gown.
Her accessories included vintage Neil Lane jewelr, and a vintage Judith Leiber minaudiere.
The legendary supermodel showed the new breed what style and class is all about.
