We saved one of the best for last - the belle of the ball so to speak. Now, this event is one of the most important of the year for the fashion cognoscenti - as you can see from all of our polls! Leave it to Anna to wear one of the most dramatic pieces of the evening. While it looks a bit like fashion armor, if I were Anna this would be my choice too. Bold, provocative, and friggin' fashion forward. What do you think?

Rock on! I love how it looks like fish scales. I also love how she always looks so pissy.
1I don't like it at all. And I know her hair is her signature, but come on already, change it up!
2Hate it. She just tries too hard nothing about her style is effortless.
3um...what was she thinking?!?
4two words: "ugly goiter." or "adam's apple." or "manly neck." the list goes on.
5I don't...hate it. Huh.
6as editor of vogue, i would have thought she had more sense to wear something else. anything else.
7ewwwwwwww
8I have one word for this: F-A-B!
9whats with the hair?
10or the throat?
11dont get me started- this outfit is baaaaaaaaad
12Why would she wear a short necklace with such a high neckline? That's an obvious fashion error. I like that the dress plays with so many different textures. A weaker soul could not pull this off!
13And THIS is the woman who decides what we wear each season? Ugh. She looks like a Yorkie with that hair.
14I was thinking EXACTLY what AMP said!!! I'm sorry but it really is time for a change.... I find the hair and the dress much too severe!!!
15I'll give her props for going with the look of the season - futuristic. But Anna, darling, try to smile? And maybe grow the hair out a bit? A side-swept bang even?
16Whoever said she looks severe, I totally agree. She needs to soften it up a bit.
I don't like it!
17Blah, who cares...
18For a woman who has access to all things Fashion whether New or Old and chooses to pick this sh*t..
19There are ways to go about trends in a tasteful matter.

20i have to keep in mind that this is the costume gala and that its inappropriate to not wear something that is off the wall and edgy. that being said, this dress fits perfectly with that ideal
21wouldnt it be good if we could hop a flight to anywhere,so long to this life, so much fun pretending, cause bad luck's never endin
People don't get the gala. It's traditonal for the women to dress in a manner similar to the designer whose working is showing. I don't know alot about this year's guy but he was big on feathers, headbands and metallics. That explains the Olsen girls dress the big black one. And also what Dunst and Kate B. were wearing. They dressed in a way similar to the designer's aesthic, get the reference
22ummm...interesting...who is this lady??
23For someone who is suppose to know so much about fashion, she looks really horrible
24Tatti33, she's the editor-in-chief of Vogue.
I totally agree with Duchess, remember last year's theme Anglomania? SJP had that crazy tartan McQueen dress (which I personally loved...)!
25She looks fine, nothing exciting, but then maybe she didn't want to outshine the guests.
26Bad hair
27Daisy-Chainsaw
perfect for her!
28its time for a new haircut, anna.
29Oh, no.
30I like the dress but I think her arms are a it too muscular to be bare.
31love it, love it, love it!!!! ok, if AW says is great, IS GREAT, but this dress like me whoever´s wearing, i like it, very much
32The style looks to be quite unflattering on her... and the shiny black plus white lace/meshy thing combo? ugh, no thanks!
33I understand why she chose black, her friend (isabella blow) has just died. Nope i don't like that dress
34Not a fan at all. I guess I'm just one for a more traditional look. Maybe this is just too fashion forward for me, ha ha.
35Ugly all the way!
36If fashion forward means ugly, then yeah.
37Ummm, no. It's a little too bondage/dead animal for me.
38Off with the necklace and those thingies on the shoulders. With a more flattering duo she has potential to look much for sophisticated.
39It's her job to do this. Anyone else it would be a nightmare, but she is who she is.
40that woman needs a new hairstyle. how about nominating her for What Not to Wear?
41Did she think she was going to "The Rocky Horror Show"?
42I would have liked it if it weren't for the shiny black.
43she's freakin anna wintour! love it, obviously!
44wow, I've never seen her without sunglasses
45Yikes.
46Don't like this at all.
47I really like the black part, I just wish the whole dress was made out of that material, the underskirt is bleh. I'd loose the shoulderbits aswell, its too much of an officers uniform.
But that shiny fabric, in the layers, would have looked awesome on her, especially with some graphics jewels.
48It suits her very well! I would like to see this in different colors and also as a strapless.
49although she may like it, im definitely NOT a fan of it, geez
