Packing A Punch?

… Not quite! After giving us gorgeous editorials, Lakshmi surely disappointed at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala. She was dressed up by designer Rachel Roy for the exhibition in a pink strapless number which she wore with Manolo Blahnik for Rachel Roy booties and Mont Blanc jewellery. Although the back of Lakshmi’s dress had more detail, it still didn’t quite make up for the disappointing first impression.

Considering the theme of this year’s exhibition was ‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’, we are surprised Ms. Roy couldn’t be inspired more by this lovely muse. Or was it she kept the best for herself?

You can check out more of the exhibition and breakdown of who wore what here.

After featuring in Dazed and Confused, model Lakshmi Menon makes appearance in Vogue US. The spread, shot in Goa by Mikael Jansson, features Lakshmi in a variety of whites and colored outfits…

I so badly want that Ports 1961 dress… Any that jump out at you?

P.S. Boy, are we jealous that an item on our Lust List made its way onto Lakshmi! She makes it look sooo goood.
