The fashionistas arrive
Designer Lei Marco shows off his latest creations on the red carpet.
Here comes A-Rod
Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez is flanked by his wife, Cynthia, and Christopher Ciccone on the red carpet.
Hey, A-Rod, what about Clemens?
Rodriguez, who is from Miami, did not take any questions from the media. He was photo-ops only on this night.
Let's go inside
Time to head inside the 20,000 square-foot tent and see what the fuss was all about.
Sweet display
Barton G was in charge of the food for the evening, including the deserts.
What's over there?
Are those really models in cubes above and behind the main bar.
Yep, it's boxes of models
It was raining men, and then women, as models took turns posing above the bar.
Quite an impression
The boxes of models seemed to dominate the landscape inside the tent.
Give me a beat!
DJ Ruckus kept the beats thumping and the crowd grooving all night with a mix of hip-hop and old school pop.
Up in the air
More scantily clad models, wearing shimmering outfits, adorned the center of the tent.
Crystal palace
More than a million individual pieces of crystal were used on both the chandeliers and throughout the event.
Moving on up
Models would take turns walking up a ladder to the top of the stands in order to be in position.
