Maybe it was the conflicted double-booking of Milan's fashion shows that kept the A-listers away from the Metropolitan Opera's annual Fall season opener, cuz as far as we could tell, this year was lacking in ~star power~. No designers like Stefano Pilati or jetset models like Naomi Campbell, no Anna Wintour, etc. Instead, a cheesy clique of tri-state news *personalities* filled-in the orchestra seats. Aside from the p33ps below, the opening night was also graced with appearances by Jane Fonda, John Lithgow, Blythe Danner, Yo-Yo Ma with his daughter Emily, Henry & Nancy Kissinger, and John Turturro.
Naturellement, here are the OC exclusive paparazzi shots of last night's festivities at Lincoln Center. Let's start with the d00d who dressed in homage to the Met's ^enhanced^ Swarovski chandeliers:

~*~(below: the award for the most shameless & out-of-place skank/clinger-on award goes to Alex McCord & " husband" Simon van Kempen. GET OUT. Ugh, it's bad enough that Lauren Bush carries around that skanky burlap sack...stop jumping on the bandwagon.)
