Defamer
Though the Metropolitan Museum's annual Costume Gala is considered by most to be the Oscars of the fashion world, the truth of the matter is that no one really focuses on the clothes. What really matters is which celebrities show up to WEAR the clothes and, of course, whether or not they're lookin' good. That said, all eyes were entirely focused on the recently friction-laden, reportedly squabbling super-duo of Team Cruise and Team Beckham, who reunited once again for the cameras. And despite the gushing show of admiration and respect that the Beckhams demonstrated for the the Hubbard-lovers on yesterday's Oprah, both Holmes and Beckham were allegedly competing for the spotlight last night. And in the end? The girl with the higher-slit dress tends to win every time. More photos from the event, including our picks for the best and most horrific looks of the night, after the jump.
Call it a magic moment, call it a completely forced photo opp, but the Cruises and Beckhams did briefly pose on the carpet before entering the Gala. And though Victoria certainly didn't look happy about it, her nipples sure did.
Amidst the sea of designer gowns, we thought Eva Longoria's dramatic ruffle-adorned number was most impressive. Busy and over the top maybe, but her petite little body suddenly looked voluptuous and the midnight purple color was the perfect choice.
Thandie Newton usually kills on the carpet, so we were baffled to see her in this very Madonna circa 1995 S&M lingerie-esque ensemble. And poor Mischa Barton, possibly still smarting from those unflattering balcony bikini pictures, chose a shapeless dress that was boring on the bottom, modern Bride of Frankenstein on the top.

A person could cut himself on Victoria's cheekbones or jawline. I wonder of David has tried.
Do you think Katie just starts screaming in the middle of dinner hoping someone will rescue her only to be sedated by a somewhat sympathetic Scientology handler?
Tom Cruise is only the second shortest person in that picture. I call photoshopped.
Furthermore, David's looking particularly attention deficit disordered in this picture.
I'm imagining that this was taken in the moments before the Buddy Hackett-voiced seagull ripped off Victoria's conch shell-necklace that holds the sweet voice of Katie Holmes.
I'm not sure what where that puts Tom in the cast of The Little Mermaid. Tom as Sebastian, singing a Carribean love song for Becks and Katie?
@mr hotpants: i'm convinced she's now a replicant. there's no other explanation!
Robotits is back, baby!
@alexarch: That would probably void his Gillette endorsement deal.
If they ever do a sequel to Enchanted they need to hire Posh as the Evil Queen/Villan. The hair! The make-up! That dress!
@TurdBlossom: I was thinking with a good sperm-perm she'd be Cruella De Vil in "101 Dalmations".

Check Becks waist area for cut marks... Oh you mean Victoria doesn't do that. At least Scientology has taught Becks to smile.
Word to Victoria - McDonald's wants their Grimace back
Say what you will, but his first Oprah appearance last week was GENIUS in rebuilding the reputation. It was calm, subdued and the S issue was brushed off respectfully.
He looks to be heading back into good form.
He's got a long way to go, but give the dude some credit for trying to rebuild the name.
Victoria Beckham has taken her 1/2 strawberry diet way too far. We'll have to start referring to them as Skeletor and Becks because there's nothing posh about her.
Katie Holmes needs to seriously stop wearing heels around Tommy Boy. She's like the leaning tower of Pisa to his tinyness. His dry cleaning bill must be murder, lots of ArridXXX on the shoulders.
The photo of the four of them together looks like it was taken at the wrap part of Interview with a Vampire. (Yeah, I go way back.)
Eva Longoria = hot tranny mess.
Pushy Spice (Spite?) appears to be wearing her own costume gala: mechanic's coveralls designed by the collaborative efforts of Alexis Carrington, Fredericks of Hollywood, and Mrs. Santa Claus.
@alexarch: brings disturbing images to mind when they say "...8" inches, cut"
for a second, i thought i was looking at the cast lineup for a new version of "The Wizard Of Oz". your pick on who plays Dorothy.
@HwoodHills: no.
Four odd douches, one of whom (hint: the soccer star) used to have talent.
Is anyone else concerned that Posh swallowed an xylophone?
Holy catflap. What's up with Katie 'n' Vicky? Have they been made up by House of Whores, or simply been replaced by their Madame Tussaud's wax replicas? Or, perhaps, their robotic RealDoll selves?
Oh god. I'm scared for all humanity.

I just spit half a darvocet across the room laughing at that - effectively re-herniating my disc in the process.
But it was worth it, man...it was worth it.
