The stars came out for the New York City Ballet’s grand gala at Lincoln Centre last night.

Anne Hathaway, Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Secret’s Karolina Kurkova wowed in floor length gowns -which caused a bit of a problem for a couple of male guests.

SJP’s dress also had a train, however the say star kept a tight grip of the side and managed to avoid the same pitfalls as Karolina and Anne.

The Sex And The City star was responsible for bringing on board legendary designer Valentino Garavani, who designed the costumes for four dance works performed at the gala.

In an interview earlier this week with The New York Times, Parker explained the genesis of the collaboration:

“I started thinking about the future of the company, and what was most important was building the audience of the next generation of ticket buyers,” she said.

“…I know that fashion tends to have a younger audience, if we could somehow marry the two ideas.”

Man of the moment, 80-year-old Valentino himself, appeared on the red carpet looking dashing in a tuxedo and sporting his trademark suntan.
