Steven A. Cohen, head of SAC Capital Advisors, arrived with his wife, Alexandra, who wore red open- toed shoes that matched the carpet leading in to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Ball. Penelope Cruz entered with Oscar de la Renta, Beyonce with Jay-Z…Fashion and wealth blended on this evening for one of the biggest museum fundraisers on the planet. Tables, which were sold out months ago, went for $100,000 to $250,000…As for the fit of a tuxedo, “This is one instance where size matters,” said menswear designer Simon Spurr, who wore a tie with a scorpion printed on it. “Buy one size smaller than you think.” However sexy a uniform a tuxedo can be, Stella McCartney suggested a man’s sex appeal comes from within, citing McQueen as a role model. “Have a personality, be true to yourself, and don’t conform in any way,” she said.

“Have a personality, be true to yourself, and don’t conform in any way,”
No wonder these assholes needed a fundraiser.
Where was the Met’s mascot? THAT would be worth $250k/table.
“Alexandra, who wore red open- toed shoes that matched the carpet ”
That’s what’s up
Last time I checked, Steve McQueen wasn’t exactly the Hunchback of Notre Dame, either.
I think she’s referring to Alexander McQueen, the late fashion designer..
Despite the firecrotch implication; it did not move.
last time I checked, you were an idiot
The Costume Institute Ball is a joke now. A decade ago, it had patrons, staff, and randoms getting drunk and mixing, and the period rooms were considered just fine for a little romp – the guards would even unclip the velvet ropes for you. Now security gets tense if you get a hummer in Egyptian.
Bess’s inbox is a god damn national treasure!
As Alex always used to say to the other mums at CSH, talk to the hand!
Fat man in a little coat!

“This is one instance where size matters,” said menswear designer Simon Spurr, who wore a tie with a scorpion printed on it. “Buy one size smaller than you think so you have a crotch bulging out thereby giving the impression you have a big willy.”
There I fixed it.
