TOP INSTA LOOK: Elaborate floral head pieces in deep crimson and shades of purple, matching floral embroidery and applique lining many of the dresses.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Backstage beauty was focused on creating romantic looks through rich burgundies and bordeauxs accenting the face and fingertips, masterminded by Edward Cruz for INGLOT.
OFF PROBATION: A plunging deep purple evening gown with waist-high slits and a flowy matching cape and floral jacquard to match the oversized headpiece, sure to be on the watch list of brand favorite Pia Mia and buddy Kylie.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A striking red number with similar underwear-free waist-high side splits and a cheeky plunging lace bodice, styled with nude Louboutins.
INSPIRED BY: A secret botanical garden at midnight (in New York referred to as a place not to be), the designer made a subtle nod to Spanish culture via flamenco-inspired ruffle skirts and lace detailing
POP CULTURE-NOD: Khloe Kardashian fresh off another five-pound weight loss in a plunging slinky royal blue number flanked by angelic Kris and Kim in more demure looks in white, all pouting for the paparazzi on the red carpet at the NBC Universal Upfronts in New York.
WEAR IT TO: The A-list Halloween party at the Jane Hotel and your friend refuses to let you bail out of, so you acquiesce to making like Alice in Wonderland and go half-throttle down the rabbit hole by donning an eye-catching Costello gown and claim to be dressed as a character from Into The Woods or Lady Godiva, to those with a more high-brow intellect.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I thought Barron Hilton was still in prison for that plane incident?”
SPOTTED: Danielle Moinet, Robert Verdi, Brett Cap, Carli Bybel, Dorothy Wang, Barron and Paris Hilton, Petra Nemcova, Dale Moss,

THE DOCKET: Michael Costello stayed true to his signature red carpet-ready looks for his latest collection, given a fresh update for spring through the addition of floral accents and dramatic jewel tones, sure to already be on the hit list for top stylists ahead of awards season. Because with Costello, it’s sure to be a midsummer night’s dream, indeed.
