...Paris gala benefit prescribed: "Smoking pour les hommes et pour les femmes," which in this case did not mean that everyone should light up a Gauloise. Smoking meant le smoking, French for dinner jacket, and nearly all the girls, falling in with a trend started by Designer Yves St. Laurent last year, showed up looking like either Marlene Dietrich or a headwaiter. Well, almost. Certainly no one would have taken Singer Francoise Hardy, 23, for a captain. Still, the men in the crowd at the Moulin Rouge party seemed more fascinated by the barely clad dancers onstage than they...
Lalanne's prices are equally fantastic: $10,000 for the sheep or the housefly, $25,000 for the rhino. Among the happy few who have chosen to afford them: Designer Yves St. Laurent, who bought a rhino, and French Premier Georges Pompidou, who bought a pair of china ostriches whose beaks hold a metal board serving as a bar.

Five Cheaters. Harper's Bazaar editor and former model China Machado wore what she called "just me" beneath Yves St. Laurent's Cleopatra dress -a snowfall of shimmering spangles around bosom and hips joined by sheer, flesh-color chiffon. But others, who felt uneasy about the quasi-nude fashions, decided to cheat. Newporter Minnie Gushing, tall and stately with cascading hair, wore a body stocking under her gold latticework Desdemona robe designed by Oscar de la Renta...
