Now for the tough question: How will they top it next year?
While no one was running as fast as a speeding bullet or leaping tall buildings in a single bound, what Giorgio Armani, Anna Wintour and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute pulled off Monday night at the "Superheroes: Fashion & Fantasy" gala was no mortal feat. The red-carpet stairs were as glutted with first-name-only superstars as any Oscar ceremony: George, Julia, Tom, Katie, Eva, Scarlett, Naomi, Karl, Marc, Dries, Nicolas, Vera, Carolina, Michael and a hefty Italian contingent including Donatella, Domenico and Stefano and Valentino. The whole evening raised $7.3 million.
