Getting dressed with Anna...

"When Carine Roitfeld invited me to the Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary party on 30th September in Paris, I was so thrilled, but when I knew it was a ball costume inspired by 'eyes wide shut', I was worried.

Why? Cause if Carine Roitfeld invites you to her party she expects to be surprised by your look.

All the guests are from creative environments, then are supposed to be creative even about themselves.

How to think of a dentist who hasn't the most white and beautiful teeth?"

Anna dello Russo's top 10 tips when dressing for Carine Roitfeld:

1. Carefull with the black outfits (it makes omologate effects).
2. Mask plus tuxedo? So obvious.
3. Don't go too literal. 'Eyes wide shut' is just a start point.
4. Don't rent the outfit (you'll smell like a dusty attic).
5. Don't go too far back with vintage.
6. Find your look in contemporary brands (Fashion is HINC et NUNC).
7. Headpieces is the key of the look. It needs your personal touch.
8. Shoes? Doesn't matter, nobody will note it.
9. Leave the couture to Carine. She will be the Queen of the party.
10. Go to Style.com and start your personal, creative, eccentric, surprising, unique, original, research.

The result?

A custom made Pucci gown designed especially for Anna, Gareth Pugh's extravagant feathered headpiece which both perfectly complimented her lace mask and white wig.

Street style photo blogger Tommy Ton of JAK + JIL, was invited to Anna's suite at the Ritz as she got ready for the Masquerade Ball celebrating Vogue Paris' 90th Anniversary.

This was the outcome...






AMAZING.
