Anna Dello Russo

While it was clearly Carine's party Vogue Nippon's Anna Dello Russo certainly made a statement, as usual, in her sweeping white gown and towering Gareth Pugh headdress. Before the party Anna asked Tommy Ton of Jak and Jil to snap her getting ready. I love that for Anna fashion not only seems to be a passion but genuinely fun. The look, including the custom Pucci ballgown, was apparently inspired by Lady Gaga.

Enchanted & Mythical: Daisy Lowe's 21st

"The enchanted and mythical wonder" was the theme of Daisy Lowe's twenty-first birthday, and I was charmed by these photos of the event, held at Babington House.  The costumes are great and it seems like such a good time!  You can see more photos here.
