I’d always associated the word “ball” with, y’know, gowns. But what do I know? At the 2010 Tribeca Ball, held at the NY Academy of Art, Parker Posey and Jennifer Connolly and everybody else looked, instead, ready for rooftop cocktails.
I mean, don’t get me wrong – Helena Christensen looks totally elegant. But I just would have heard “ball” and reached for a floor-length. How did they know? Is it some kind of celeb spidey-sense?
Ditto for Jennifer Connolly. She looks severely lovely in her simple black, but if this is what the fairy godmother transformed your rags into, wouldn’t you be just a leetle let down?
In Alek Wek‘s case, the fairy godmother apparently thought she said she was going to 2000 and wanted to set off a seizure in any enemies she happened to meet.
When she turned her attention to Glenda Bailey, she misheard and thought she said “doll,” specifically a collector’s porcelain toddler named “Angelica” from QVC.
