It was a “GALA NIGHT” at the Opera in Lincoln Center. The Fall Season opened with the opera EUGENE ONEGIN staring Netrebko and Kwiecien. The plaza was filled with the glitz and glamour of an opening night.
Some of the gowns were glamorous and a few were outrageous. Lots of fur showed up tonight……..and an abundance of ruffles.
Susan Lucci wore 30 yards of blue and gray tulle. Annie Leibovitz in her usual “butch” suit.

At Lincoln Center last night………the 2013 Fall Gala fundraiser for the New York City Ballet………was in the David Koch Hall. New York’s society and celebrities showed up for a glittery evening. Cocktails of the balcony and dinner after the performance.
The gowns were surprisingly atrocious. One shock after another walked down the red carpet.
NATALIE PORTMAN wore a surprisingly understated dress………fun material but a bit off-putting in baby blue and banana yellow. designed by Brittney Stephens
CLICK ON any gown to enlarge the fashion mistakes.
SARAH JESSICA PARKER was in a pink something………..the bodice and white bra were designed by Olivier Theyskens [long hair on the left] . The bottom of the dress designed by Probal Gurung [on her right]. It has a large flap pocket on the right thigh………and a slit up the back that the seamstress forgot to sew up.
Can’t figure out the sash belt………..and that oversized bow on the back. At least her earrings were tasteful.

HAIR HAIR HAIR…………waxed, flaxen, braided and straightened. Dyed, fried shorn and torn. Purple, pink, chartreuse………..well, just about every color in a rainbow…………and sometimes all on the same head.
During FASHION WEEK at Lincoln Center I shot over 3000 heads of hair.
Here are some of my faves.
NIKKI HILTON……..soft and loverly braids.
Fashion designer…………RACHEL ZOE…………always blonde always straight.
JANICE DICKENSON…………the most famous model in the 70’s…..and still looking good at 58. Her autobiography is a hoot……..you might get a kick out of it.
It was fun putting this slide show together……….I hope you have fun looking at it.
Love her. Love her Hair. JACKIE CRUZ..………star of my new favorite TV Series….ORANGE is the new BLACK.

Today at Lincoln Center I snapped these candids of…………
BILL CUNNINGHAM
He has been New York’s premier Fashion Photographer for over 35 years. He dropped out of Harvard in 1948 and moved to NYC. While working at Women’s Wear Daily he began taking photographs of fashion on the streets of NY. He shot one of Greta Garbo…..sold it to the NY Times……..and launched a life-long career. He has snapped over ONE MILLION photos…….0n film…..and keeps the negatives on file in his apartment at Columbus Circle.
In 2010 the filmmakers Richard Press and Philip Gefter of The Times produced a doucmentary about Bill’s life…….”Bill Cunningham New York” Do see it. His shots of fashion in Paris are fab.
