The Annual Costume Institute Gala celebrating ‘The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion’ was last night, and as there are always are in large gatherings of pretentious asswipes who believe themselves to be on the very cusp avant-garde fashion, plenty of epic FAILS (see above).

Taking the stink cake was Madonna, with her recycled like Like a Virgin look made especially crappy with the addition of thigh-high patent leather boots apparently shanghaied from the set of Pretty Woman:

Next on the shit list, Leighton Meester, who is reportedly on a show on the CW and not a vintage member of the cast of the highly-acclaimed but short-lived “Designing Women on Acid” series (although I have yet to actually confirm this):

And last, but very not least, is the incorrigible Rihanna, who looks like a maĆ®tre d’ cyborg killer/androgynous Barbie bridesman.
