Climbing up the world's tallest red carpet, in Planet Fashion's highest heels (
Jimmy Choo 's,
Louboutins and Roger Vivier were the faves) were a battalion of beauties to rival Hollywood's Oscars.
Curiously, black was very little in evidence and gleaming metallics, flesh-tones, cobalt blue, navy and white took the top spots on the colour charts.
Hot young names on the designer label circuit, such as Alexander Wang - who designed special outfits for Gisele Bundchen and the singer, M.I.A. - and Jason Wu , were much in evidence. But, curiously, despite recent major publicity, Victoria Beckham's red carpet gowns were noticeable mainly for their absence,
tods store, as was the designer herself.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the sisters behind the fabulously eccentric Rodarte label, created one of the most unusual fashion marriages in history when they teamed up with the Gala sponsors,
mbt m.walk shoes, Gap,
jimmy choo, to whip up a custom-made piece for Kirsten Dunst.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rachel Bilson were both lucky enough to snare a couple of "hot cleavage" frocks from Marc Jacobs ' autumn/winter 2010/11 collection for Louis Vuitton, while Nicole Ritchie, still looking stunning as a sultry brunette, snagged Jacobs' retro, cap-sleeved molten silver, from his own label collection for next season.
Kristen "Twilight" Stewart wore a Chanel gown which looked as if a vampire had taken a big bite out of the neckline and then ripped off half the skirt. Katy Perry looked like an advertisement for "Just One Cornetto", in a Neopolitano-stripe gown by Cute Circuit,
Kevin Jonas in Nudie_2512, complete with LED lights. And I really think it's time for Alexa Chung to quit working the "hey,
asics -thank you Lola, aren't I just too kooky for words?" vibe; the Phillip Lim black braces-trousers and dinner jacket was a riff too far on the "boyfriend" look.
Long and short shared the spotlight; sometimes together in the same dress - as in Stella McCartney and Liv Tyler, both wearing Stella Mac's mini-in-the-front/maxi-at-the-back gowns; and Sienna Miller in an electric blue Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas. At times it all became a bit too knee-ious; ladies! Moisturise please,
