The Top Celebrity-Finance Crushes on the Met Gala's Red Carpet
- Federer joins John Griffin; Schwarzmans flank Skarsgard
- A former Fed governor graces same carpet as A-Rod, Paltrow
Roger Federer, in a Gucci tuxedo with a crystal king cobra on the back, spent a good while posing for photos on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Benefit.
That left his entourage -- including John Griffin, founder of Blue Ridge Capital -- to make do Monday night on a set of stairs infested with celebrities and flash bulbs and some very weird outfits, thanks at least in part to the subject of the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. It wasn’t exactly a fight against boredom.
