Hollander returned the favor by coming pretty much as he was too - blue velvet jacket, white silk shirt with ascot, bell-bottom trousers and long hair. To him, that kind of dress is no mere gimmick: "I feel hypocritical in tails, it's just...
Snuggled into her cosiest leopard-skin dress, Gina Lollobrigida, 40, breezed into Manhattan to say a few good words for her 51st film, Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell.

He disgraced himself at Oxford by going to a fancy dress ball as a raven and voiding a pint of whitewash from his tail in front of the Prince of Wales.
