Competition this year was tough. How could the classiest, most elegant beauties not wilt and pale against the incandescent beauty of Berlusconi's favorite (then) underage ~dancer~, Ruby, who was also saggy, rich dude and arbiter of taste Richard Lugner's official escort for this year's Wiener Opernball.
Belle of the ball award goes to tux'd & groomed Erwin Schrott -- best dressed, best humored, and best a$$.
Also in attendance -- appropriately random for the event: Elīna Garanča, Lang Lang, Larry Hagman, Bob Geldoff, Franz Welser-Moest.
