Last night celebs and fashionistas made their way to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, NY to attend the annual Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume Institute Ball which was themed American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. This gala event is the opportunity for these famous folks to turn it out on the red carpet and show off their fanciest, most stylist looks. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night and some deets from the event itself:

It could have gone any way last night, considering the theme of the Costume Institute exhibition: “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.” There could have been neo-jazz babies, flappers, debutantes, feminists, disco queens, Hollywood sirens, Nouvelle Society matrons and Playboy bunnies. And that’s just a few archetypes off the top of a stack. But most of the women attending the gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among the 725 guests, dressed elegantly, more so than in recent years, and they did their best to heed Anna Wintour’s e-mail messages to be on time. At 6:30 p.m., Ms. Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue, was waiting at the top of the red-carpeted grand staircase, a tiny figure in a gold Chanel dress and jacket. If the gala’s other leaders, Oprah Winfrey and Patrick Robinson, the executive vice president of design for Gap, had ascended the front steps, they still had a climb before they reached Ms. Wintour and the receiving line. Asked if she felt any pressure to wear clothes by American designers, Ms. Wintour smiled and said, “Well, if you see the exhibition, they’re all wearing French clothes.” Ms. Winfrey wore a design of Oscar de la Renta, who had invited Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Barbara Walters, among others, to sit at his table. In recent years, the themes of the Costume Institute exhibits have included “Anglomania,” superheroes and models. That at least provided some direction for how to dress for the party, where this year the top table price was $250,000 and Lady Gaga sang after the dinner. But this year’s exhibition, organized by the curator Andrew Bolton, looked at styles between 1890 and the 1940s, relying on exceptional pieces from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection like Worth gowns, gray walking suits and bicycling outfits. It’s a serene view of American style, set against murals, and it was almost shocking to see how tiny the figures were, with tiny waists and tiny feet. Naturally, everyone had her own idea of what defined American style. “I think it’s confidence,” said Vera Wang, in a long white dress, as she talked to members of the Newhouse family and then Wendy Murdoch, who wore a fitted green silk dress with a long black train. Its designer, Prabal Gurung, was new to her. She said that Ms. Wintour had recommended him. A few feet away, and trying to avoid the train of Mrs. Murdoch’s dress, were Nicole Richie, in a silvery Marc Jacobs dress, and Margherita Missoni, in a long black dress that sort of left her bare on the sides. “It’s my idea of grunge,” Ms. Missoni said. “I want to bring back the ’90s.” Ms. Ritchie said she wanted to dress up more these days. “I actually wear long dresses a lot,” she said. Across the Petrie Sculpture Court, where cocktails were held, Lauren Santo Domingo was channeling the ’90s as well. “Tom Ford,” she said, mentioning a designer whose name seemed to be on a number of people’s lips. Ms. Santo Domingo’s long beige beaded dress was actually a Proenza Schouler. She was standing with Chloë Sevigny, who had on a bright turquoise Proenza dress with a short belled skirt. “I couldn’t pull off your dress,” Ms. Sevigny said to Ms. Santo Domingo, “and you couldn’t pull off mine.” They seemed agreed about that. Christopher Bailey, the Burberry designer, had his idea about American style: “It’s easy, functional, comfortable with an earthy sexiness. I still think of Lauren Hutton as the epitome of that style.” Franca Sozzani, the editor of Italian Vogue, had on a beige silk satin Valentino dress (“From way, way back,” she said, waving her hand), and she stood surveying the jam-packed, train-tripping room with Donatella Versace. “To me, American fashion is Charlie James,” Ms. Sozzani said. Ah, Charlie. Someone was summoning him, too. Dr. Lisa Airan, the Manhattan dermatologist, had wanted to wear a real James dress to the party, but her friend, the designer Gilles Mendel, had told her that wasn’t such a great idea. So she went to the Met library, did some research, and asked Mr. Mendel to make her dress in the James spirit.

Honestly, I’m not really impressed with anything that I saw on the red carpet last night. Sure, there were a lot of pretty dresses but nothing really stood out. In previous years, there were quite a few interesting and over-the-top looks that were real attention getters (remember Madonna‘s Louis Vuitton bunny ears last year?) but this year … nada. After the jump, check out a few more photos from the red carpet arrivals last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala to see if anything jumps out and grabs your eye …

Yesterday we learned that the torrid romance betwixt Jude Law and Sienna Miller was very much still in full effect as the pair showed up here in SoCal lookin’ all cozy together. Today we learn that the pair, who were coincidentally staying together in the same hotel, have packed up their bags and left LA together. Here are pics of JuSie as they made their hotel exit and their airport arrival yesterday:

I would assume that the lovebirds winged their way back to the UK but it’s possible they might pop up in a remote holiday location. They’ve not been seen together for many weeks, so long that I thought their romance may have cooled into nothingness. Now that we know that they’ve reunited, I suspect they’ll wanna get down to the business of reconnecting … in every way possible, as much as they can. I guess we’ll have to wait and see where they show up next.

When last we heard *anything* from either Jude Law or Sienna Miller about their new relationship, Sienna was telling the world how happy she was to be back together with Jude … but that was in February and the couple hadn’t been seen nor heard from since. I’m happy to report that JuSie are still going strong, as the couple were spotted doing a bit of couple’s shopping at Maxfield’s here in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday … behold:

Oh yes, the couple that can find happiness shopping together has a great chance of staying together. It would seem that Jude and Sienna are doing more than just flinging … sure, they may not be together 24/7 and weeks may go by without their seeing one another but clearly they have enough things in common to keep coming back for more. They seem really happy and appear quite well-suited for one another. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that JuSie is here to stay.

Earlier this week we saw photos of Jude Law and director Guy Ritchie hard at work on the set of a new advertisement for Christina Dior parfum in Paris, France and today we get to see a few more photos from the shoot. Jude is still lookin’ slick in his snazzy threads but today he’s also got some hot wheels to add to the effect:

Ya know … Jude is such a shameless and unapologetic cad that you’d think it would be easy to dislike him. On the contrary, I can’t help but like him DESPITE some of his, well, cad-iness. I think I like him best when he’s hard at work … which, really, is the way it should be. It occurs to me as I write this post that we’ve not seen Jude out and about with his most recent ladylove Sienna Miller. Could there be trubs in paradise? Could the their rekindled flame have already extinguished? Yes, yes … I digress. In any event, Jude has been working on his Dior campaign for a few days now … with Ritchie behind the camera, it’s sure to be a big deal. I can’t wait to see what these two come up with.

Jude Law, current celebrity spokesperson for Christian Dior parfum, teamed up with his Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie to film a new commercial for a Dior fragrance in Paris, France this week … here are a few photos:

I’m certain that a commercial being helmed by Ritchie is sure to be a smashing success. I dunno why it requires such a production to inspire folks to wanna smell like Jude Law but, hey, I guess it works. It’s nice to see that these BFFs have remained close since they worked so closely together on Holmes. I can’t wait to see what the final product will look like.

As you may recall, at the start of this month we learned that 4-time dad Jude Law finally decided to meet his daughter in person, 5 months after she was born. The meeting was brought about by Jude‘s babymama Samantha Burke who has been working towards a custody agreement for their lovechild Sophia Lee. It appears that that meeting in Miami, FL was a fruitful one because terms of the child’s custody have reportedly been agreed upon. Apparently, Jude Law has agreed to pay for the child’s “maintenance fees” and will meet with the child “twice a year”. Um … Father of the Year, anyone?

Jude Law has reportedly hashed out a custody deal with the mother of his lovechild – he will allegedly see his daughter twice a year and pay maintenance. The Brit became a father for the fourth time in September after American model Samantha Burke conceived during a brief fling with the actor while he filmed Sherlock Holmes in New York. Law met little Sophia for the first time last month during a trip to Florida and is said to have agreed a deal with Burke to visit her bi-annually and hand over regular childcare payments, according to Britain’s News of the World. The maintenance payments are believed to total $5,000 a month and were agreed along with a confidentiality clause which will prevent Burke from talking to the press. A source tells the newspaper, “Jude will visit his daughter at least twice a year, once around Christmas. His visit (to meet Sophia in February) was fleeting and seemed mainly business-like.” Law also has three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost.

I mean … yeah. While I personally think this arrangement still totally sucks (especially for the innocent baby), I suppose it’s worth looking on the bright side here … at least baby Sophia Lee will have some contact with her father, which is far better than no contact at all. I can appreciate that Jude may not be a huge fan of babymama Samantha Burke (even tho he absolutely could’ve taken great pains to protect himself from an unwanted pregnancy — wrap it up every time, y’all), it boggles my mind how one can be so cold to an innocent baby … of one’s own flesh and blood! But, again, I’m digressing. The good news is that a custody agreement has been worked out … and it is very possible that a healthy and truly loving relationship might spring from these small seeds of contact. Let’s just hope for the best, for the baby’s sake.

Last night (as we learned earlier in the week) actor Jude Law played guest host on Saturday Night Live for the second time in his storied career. As you may recall (but most likely will NOT), Jude hosted a few years ago when Ashlee Simpson was the musical guest. On that fateful episode, the only thing the world will ever remember is Ashlee‘s horrible lip syncing faux pas and not Jude‘s hosting performance. I’m happy to inform y’all that no such controversy took place during last night’s episode … if Jude‘s performance was forgettable it’s no one’s fault but his own. Here are some of Jude‘s SNL promo photos as featured on the show last night:

I’m afraid that none of the skits were very memorable at all … it seemed like a pretty tame ep overall. The only time I really laughed was during the Weekend Update (and I did enjoy the Prius commercial). But Jude gave it his best shot — and even let the SNL players make mention of the lovechild he fathered with Samantha Burke (anything for a laugh, eh Jude?). Last night’s ep also featured a Digital Short by Andy Samberg with special guest Julian Casablancas from The Strokes. After the jump, check out Jude‘s SNL skits, a couple segments from Weekend Update (one featuring a fake Whoopi Goldberg and the other featuring the real Jerry Seinfield) and watch the Digital Short in full …

While we wait to find out exactly when and in what capacity Betty White will appear on Saturday Night Live, we turn out attention to this coming weekend’s episode which will feature British actor Jude Law as host:

When last we heard, Jude was creepin’ around Miami, FL to meet up with his babymama Samantha Burke and his lovechild Sophia in a reported effort to discuss child support. I guess with that biz taken care of he managed to get back to NYC for SNL rehearsals. After the jump, check out NBC video of 2 new promos for Jude‘s upcoming gig as SNL host …

Can it be? At long last …? Has Jude Law finally met, in person, the child he fathered with babymama Samantha Burke 5 months ago? Apparently … he has. Jude Law was spotted in Miami, FL this weekend going in to a neutral office to meet with Samantha Burke, her mother and 5 month old Sophia Lee so that terms of child-support could be discussed. As far as we know, this was the first time that Jude laid eyes on his precious newborn baby girl:

Jude Law has met American model Samantha Burke for the first time since she gave birth to his love child. The 37-year-old actor sat down with Miss Burke, and his lawyer in Florida to draw up plans on how he should support baby Sophia. It is the first time they have come face-to-face following revelations that the 24-year-old Miss Burke was carrying his love child, now five months old, last summer. He initially met his lawyer Maurice Kutner for six hours last Thursday before the planned meeting with Miss Burke in Miami over the weekend. The actor, who has rekindled his relationship with Sienna Miller, looked harassed as he arrived at the city’s airport the previous day. Baby Sophia was born last September in Florida – Law was not present at the birth. She was conceived during a night Law he had shared with Miss Burke after they met in a nightclub in New York while he was filming Sherlock Holmes in December 2008. She is Law’s fourth child – he has three other children with ex-wife Sadie Frost – but it is Miss Burke’s first. They are believed to have met up on Saturday and were pictured entering an office block where plans for Sophia’s upbringing and maintenance were settled. Miss Burke, her mother Lea, and baby Sophia are staying at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel in Miami. He faces the prospect of a substantial maintenance payout to cover baby Sophia’s living costs over the next 18 years. The total is estimated to be more than £2million, including £5,000-a-month living expenses with school fees and medical bills on top.

Blah! I have to say, while I am personally still totally disgusted that Jude has waited this long to meet the child he fathered, I am happy to see that the first meeting has finally taken place. I highly doubt, if the last 5 months are any indication, that Jude plans to have a close relationship with his newest child (at least, for the foreseeable future) but at least he is stepping up to provide for his newest child. At least little Sophia Lee is still too small to know what is going on … I sincerely hope for everyone concerned that Jude decides to have a loving and personal relationship with his daughter by the time she is old enough to understand who her father is. I suppose this is a step in the right direction.

As if the countless photos of the couple creepin’ together in secret and in public weren’t enough proof, Sienna Miller is finally talking publicly about her rekindled romantic relationship with Jude Law. Speaking to the press at this weekend’s fashion show for her clothing line Twenty8Twelve, Sienna gushed that she is “happy” to be back with Jude:

They quietly reignited their relationship three months ago while both starring in separate productions on Broadway. After initially denying the romance, Sienna Miller has finally spoken out her reunion with Jude Law, admitting ‘I’m so happy’. Speaking at her Twenty8Twelve fashion show yesterday, Miller gushed about her boyfriend, declaring he’s ‘great’. She told the Daily Mirror: ‘It’s going really well. I’m so happy actually, he’s great.’ There was no sign of Law at the Miller’s Autumn/Winter 2010 show at London’s Temple Place yesterday, because he is currently in Japan promoting Sherlock Holmes. Instead, her ‘date’ was her sister and co-designer Savannah Miller, who joined their models on the catwalk after the show. They started dating again last December after Law and Miller were starring in the Broadway productions of Hamlet and After Miss Julie respectively. Over Christmas, they holidayed together in Barbados and since returning to Britain, have been inseparable. The GI Joe star, 28, is planning to move back into Law’s north London family home, where they originally lived together several years ago. Miller’s public declaration of joy may not go down too well with Law, who previously told her to stop discussing him in interviews before they resumed their relationship.

Welp, now that she’s blabbin’ that the couple are together in public we can prolly set the egg timer to countdown to the day when Jude dumps her again. He is notoriously against talking to the press about his private life … I fear he may decided to cut Sienna off if she continues to talk about his biz. We’ve seen how totally he is able to completely cut out his newborn child and his babymama from his life, it’d be a shame if Sienna suffered the same fate. As I’ve always maintained, Jude and Sienna make a good pair … they totally deserve one another. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how long JuSie will last now.
