Choosing the Punk theme

for The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute exhibition this year, was controversial

to some and fun for many.  Perhaps the idea

will render new interest from a younger set.

Many of the attendees went with the theme...dressing the part.  Others arrived

in typical grand gala garb. Here's a look at the

Red Carpet....or anarchy at The Met.

Who punked or shrunk Thom's pants?
