RSVP for real fashion

Forget the Met Gala. These 10 events are where celebrities take real style risks. Priyanka Chopra in a choli and pants, Lizzo as mozzarella. It's not dress-up, it's serious fashion

Heidi Klum's Halloween Party.

Klum is German. When she realised that the American summer and year-end party calendar was already full, she just picked Halloween and built a party around it. It's fashion's most unhinged costume event: Full-body prosthetics, body paint, total transformations. This year Kourtney Kardashian Barker went as the Bride of Frankenstein. Lizzo went as a mozzarella stick, oozing cheese dress and all. It reminds us that celebrities can be weird and funny too.

Michael Rubin's White Party.

The most sought after Fourth of July party is held at businessman Michael Rubin's Hamptons mansion. Celebs fly in from around the world, everyone wears white. The vibe is glam, but chill. Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox are regulars. No connection to the all-white parties that Diddy threw. But the association persisted, and Rubin has stopped hosting his because... white stains so easily.
