...First Lady comes across as Peck & Peck's good girl, appearing in neat, classically modest outfits that always seem to look like last year's models. The dress she has chosen for the Inaugural Ball will be older: for sentimental reasons, she is wearing the same blue chiffon gown she wore six years ago at her debut as the First Lady of Georgia. But besides something old and blue, she will also have something new-an ice blue evening cape by New York Designer Dominic Rompollo, who launched his own label only a year...

Following the herd instinct, several stars, including Taylor, Mario Thomas and Marisa Berenson, ordered their gowns from Halston. The popular mode was the strapless wisp of chiffon skirt slit to the waist, that seemed about to fly off or shiver to the floor. Margaux Hemingway, looking like a jumbo stick of red-and-white peppermint candy, stumbled fetchingly over the names she read aloud; Elliott Gould, aware that practically every man present was betting on the results of the night's basketball game, produced the most popular aside of the night by muttering, when his partner intoned the ritualistic...
