What They Wore: The amfAR Gala To Kick Off New York Fashion Week

Holy moly it’s already New York Fashion Week. The heels are a clicking and the street style photographers are a snapping, but what better way to launch a week of fancy fashion than with a gala. Not a party, not a shindig, but a mother-effing GALA, which means all the pretty people put on pretty gowns and eat pretty food together while talking about prettiness (or some such thing, I don’t know I’ve never been invited to a gala so this is all a hypothesis). This gala wasn’t just a pretty face though; amfAR is an organization that supports AIDS research and all the proceeds of this prettiness went to a good cause.

Click through the gallery to see what Alexa Chung, Cindy Crawford, and all the models in the universe wore, and if you can tell us why on Earth Lindsay Lohan looks like that, we’ll give you a prize. Comment away…
