But most celebs played it safe, which made ROBIN WILLIAMS' suit--he quipped that it came from "the Giorgio Armani Amish collection"--look all the more stylish. ROD STEIGER went for the minimalist T shirt and jewelry look, apparently unaware that this works only on people with near perfect bodies, like MINNIE DRIVER, who wore a "take that, Matt Damon" Halston.

Babies are not, he argued (against the prevailing wisdom of the times), little savages who must be broken to adult schedules as quickly as possible. Don't rush them, he urged; cherish them.
