Pretty girls in pretty (amazing) dresses

The stars came out in dresses and droves for New York's Costume Institute Gala. I've got two links to that below. (And I'm so far behind, this is a week old). The Daily Mail highlighted Katy Perry's LED-light color changing ensemble, and in another article they highlighted Christina Hendricks' golden globes (in a blue dress); the Washington Post just showed quite a few pictures.

Hits:
* Perry, in a one-in-a-million dress
* Kate Hudson, featuring updated and uplifted cleavage
* Jessica Alba, though the hair was a little over-cute
* TAYLOR delectable SWIFT
* Camilla Belle -- more on her to come

Misses:
* Julianne Margulies (way pale)
* Iman (sorry, she looks like a robot; might just be a bad photograph)

and this may not be news:
* Janet Jackson possesses significant cleavage

Blake Lively (everybody else is in a gown, and the wonderfully-legged Lively shows up in a mini-skirt; GREAT to look at, but not quite the right tone), same for the still-wonderful-to-view Gisele Bundchen and Bar Rafaeli

(the picture of Taylor Swift here is -- OK, I've got to say it -- SCHWING! I know I shouldn't think it, but sometimes it's impossible not to. This is one of those times.)
