Each chose to carry our Birdcage Clutch as their friend for the evening, finishing off their outstanding looks with our own Chinoiserie inspired design.

Other previous sightings include Rashida Jones and Lauren Santo Domingo, who were also spotted with our birdcage bag.

        Ladies, you all looked fabulous.

While we will be glued to our screens to see the glamourous ladies of this year’s MET Gala all decked out in their Charles James inspired gowns, a recent New York Times article shines a spotlight on what the gentlemen will be dressed in this year. Anna Wintour put out a call for full evening attire, do you know what that entails? See our favorite quotes below and the full article here.

—

“Tails are very hard to pull off without looking totally kitsch. You don’t want it to look like a Liberace ball.”

“Why, the question seemed to ask itself, should women (and Marc Jacobs) get to wear all the fun stuff?”

“That, for the benefit of those who grew up under the dark clouds of Casual Friday, means a black tailcoat, a waistcoat, a wing-collared shirt and white bow tie. Let’s not forget the sheer silk socks, patent leather evening pumps, medals and rosettes.”

“But I’m not sure where you’d go to find tails. And if I don’t know where to get it, who in the hell does?” – Jay Fielden, editor of the society bible Town & Country.

“Go out on the street, Mr. Halevi advised a reporter, and ask a passer-by to describe white tie and tails. “They’ll have no idea”, he said.”
