Met Museum's "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" Preview

Tonight, of course, is the annual Costume Institute benefit gala starring super Hollywood heroes like George, Julia, Mary-Kate and Ashley.

This morning's press preview was an affair for mere mortals, who rubbed elbows with fashion superstars Giorgio, Anna and the like. Here, a few shots to tide you over til the exhibit officially opens on Wednesday, with additional coverage posting on Vogue.com tomorrow morning.
