As I expected, many of the guests at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wore beautiful evening gowns, rather than anything related to the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit that is being celebrated. Some of the gowns are very striking, but they’d be suitable for practically any red-carpet occasion. Actress Hailee Steinfeld<\/a> had safety pins on her dress, but so what? It just looked like a pretty frock; I thought the pins were embroidery at first.<\/p>\n

Original punk designer Vivienne Westwood is a Hall of Fame punk<\/a>, so I didn’t count her when I picked my two winners of the evening. The first winner is Miley Cyrus. I had high hopes for Miley<\/a> because she’s been working a punk-inspired style in real life. I would have been thrilled if she did something that created a scandal — can’t anyone carry a chainsaw<\/a> these days? — but I can’t complain about what she did do.\u00a0 The hair is perfect, the dark blush is exactly right and black fishnet over a nude look (by Marc Jacobs) is classic punk. Also, the expression! The pose! Well done, Miley.<\/p>\n
