What happened at the Costume Institute Ball

Posted May 5, 2009

We may not have been there, but we've already stalked those that braved the rain to party model style. Swide reveals the tweets of the night; what Bono, Rihanna, Gisele, and Madonna really got up to and why Kiefer Sutherland headbutted a young designer...

The fashion Oscars and A-list ticket was held last night in NY, hosted by American Vogue editor Anna Wintour. This year's theme - "The Model as Muse". Swide eavesdrops on the a'muse'ing (and at times hysterical) tweets...

Scandal: what young designer just got headbutted at the SubMercer by Keifer Sutherland? Over Brooke Shields!

Madonna is last celeb to walk the red carpet. The calm after the storm.

Rihanna is the last to arrive! In gender bending Dolce & Gabbana no less. The paparazzi go wild as she runs inside.

Penn and Blake *just* arrived -- more late than, say, Bono. The social hierarchy collapses in on itself.
