Luckily for fans, these events have resulted a virtual avalanche of articles, images, videos and eyewitness recaps to make every morning on Tumblr and Twitter feel like Christmas: Via Nicole […]
This year’s Costume Institute Gala, known to you and me informally as the Met Ball – or Met Gala, was the highlight of what had to be an incredible day for Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.
