Stevie Nicks and Sarah Jessica Parker Take the Night at the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala

Sarah Jessica Parker founded the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala, and this season the evening's founder was also one of its two headliners. She shared the room's attention with Stevie Nicks, and by Vogue's account the pair carried the night. Over its 14 seasons the benefit has brought in more than $40 million for the company, which is serious money for an evening that is supposed to be about the dancing. The gala has always paired the ballet with fashion, and it draws major figures from across the arts. That is why an archive like ours keeps a close eye on it. A fall gala at the ballet is one of the few nights when what the guests wear gets nearly as much attention as what happens on stage, and this year two women got most of it. New York sets a high bar for a benefit, and this one cleared it again.
