Madonna: You can't accuse her of playing it safe.

In fairness to Madonna, this is her arrival at Sunday night's Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art (a.k.a. the "Met Ball"), and it tends to be a night of fairly attention-getting clothing. She didn't wear it to the dentist's office or anything.

Nevertheless.

I think I understand the bubble dress, and I think I understand the boots. In theory. Though perhaps not together.

It's the...bunny ears? Antennae? Leafy branches? With the little bun of hair sticking up. I mean, heaven knows, we can't have too many people who like to get out there and do their own thing, but really, when I am imagining you munching on a big cartoon carrot when you're supposed to fit into the theme of "Models as Muses," something has gone wrong.
