And so,the bar was set. Billy Porter,stretchered in wearing a gold ensemble complete with wings,Katy Perry as a chandelier (and changing into a burger costume later on),model Cara Delevingne in a rainbow striped catsuit,the Kardashian/Jenner clan being ... themselves,and Tiffany Haddish carrying barbecued chicken in her evening bag.
Yet for all the out there extravagance,there were plenty of stars who missed the mark. Karlie Kloss,Gwyneth Paltrow and Carey Mulligan all left commentators scratching their heads. Why,oh why,they pondered,when the theme was there for the taking? Perhaps some were too scared,too gun shy,too ... afraid to look"otherish"that they just stuck to what they – and their stylists – know best.
