This has to be the weirdest thing I've seen Anna in since fashion week (I'm still convinced everyone dresses like a freak as an inside joke). When I read that it was Chanel, I was stunned, but I guess if anyone had a chance of making this work it'd be them. It's obvious by the cut and opulence of the fabric that it's not a bargain bin item. This most likely cost Vogue about $20,000. It probably won't be worn again but might end up in a museum or private collection.

Maybe there was an ulterior motive for Anna to wear something less flattering than usual - her daughter, Bee Schaffer, also attended, and I thought her dress was the most beautiful there. Did Anna step back to let her daughter shine? Geez, I don't know. It's just so hard to imagine her doing anything nice on her biggest night of the year.
