As guests walked through the Metropolitan Museum’s lobby and saw the huge statues of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, they each pondered which one was them. Christina Ricci was wishing she had a superpower herself. “I would want to read minds. It would be so fun.” Meanwhile, Tom Brady, referring to girlfriend Gisele Bündchen, said, “She’s telepathic. She reads my mind - it’s a problem.” Other powers guests were wishing for ranged from invisibility to flying to creating world peace, and oddly enough, being Peter Pan. Some partygoers were just happy to be themselves. When asked which superheroes they looked up to, both Donatella Versace and Karl Lagerfeld replied, “Myself.” Marc Jacobs even went so far as to don Superman underwear. But Amanda Peet said, “I would make all of my friends and myself have thinner thighs.”

One could probably read as many metaphors about the transformative power of fashion in the silver-sequined, elaborately padded Chanel gown that Anna Wintour wore to the Costume Institute gala on Monday night as one could in Superman’s cape, which happened to be hanging in a gallery down the hall.
Then Gisele Bündchen (in Versace), passed by, saying, “I want to take that Wonder Woman costume down and wear it right now, but it would probably be too revealing.” Her escort, Tom Brady (in Tom Ford), quickly commented, “I want her to wear the Wonder Woman outfit.”
