I know this is SUPREMELY simple, but I think it was one of my favorites of the night:

As I said on NY Mag, after seeing so many people trot past wearing, like, bananas tied to their armpits with ruffles coming out of the face, it was so RELAXING to see this. Simple, classic, elegant, and the color is FANTASTIC, like lemon sorbet. Or lemon meringue. Or lemon tart. God, I'm STARVING.

Unexpected! I feel like this could have turned toward the bath towel, but I actually think it's still really elegant. Oh, Eva Rodriguez. When you were dancing the shit out of it in *Center Stage*, did you ever think Francisco Costa would be escorting you to the Met Gala? Because -- forgive me -- I would have put my money on your date being Peter Gallagher.
