2006: AngloMania

Alexander McQueen and Sarah Jessica Parker famlously wore matching kilts to this Gala. I will not be including them, nor Sienna Miller's so-so sequined mini, nor Amber Valetta's weird pushed-back hair, nor Naomi Campbell's inexplicable "kimono". But feel free to google all of these.

Charlize Theron in Dior

I really don't like Galliano as a person, but this is quite a nice dress... How are those medals not tearing the tulle???

Eva Mendes in Zac Posen

I would like to direct your attention to the hem of the gown, and the way it's being gently caressed by the wind—that's some romance novel shit right there!

Anna Wintour in Chanel

Anna Wintour actually looks good, what the hell???

Jessica Joffe in Zac Posen

I simply love it when a gown has interesting construction but also looks beautiful and flattering when worn. Best of both worlds, baby! (Zac Posen, however, is serving the worst of both worlds with a pearly king jacket over a mickey mouse shirt.)

Maggie Q

This dress is causing me medical problems.

Gabriella Windsor in Vivienne Westwood

This lady (in the British sense) is second cousin to King Charles III, and 57th in line to the throne. Here she is wearing a Vivienne Westwood gown fashioned, seemingly, from motel curtains. I kinda like it!

Vivienne Westwood and husband Andreas Kronthaler

And to close us out, the AngloManiac herself!
