Who could imagine Meat Loaf, Betty White and Thierry Mugler at the same farewell party. André Leon Talley no doubt ups the dress code from smart casual to white tie, arriving in swaths of jewel-toned moiré satin. Sydney Poitier wears an Armani tuxedo. Bob Saget spreads love and laughter. Meat Loaf and Betty slow dance to one of his power ballads. Does anyone else wonder whether the universe orchestrated this eclectic mix of departures?
