The Metallics and Multicolors of the Academy Museum Gala

PSA: If you're on Safari, the button to start the slideshow has for some reason migrated and is now at the upper right side of your screen. We are working on fixing this!

This post is something of a hodge-podge – it started as metallics, then became "also sparkly," then became, "ALSO multi-colored," and then finally, "also black and white, because technically that is two colors." The reason for this: So many people attended that the post with black OR white outfits alone is like 40 slides long. Logistics! I'm not saying there aren't better ways to handle it, but I AM saying that – as with Olivia Pope before me – that it IS Handled.

Besides, I don't think you'll be too upset with me, because the resulting melange is a REALLY solid slideshow.
