Somehow Monsieur Mugler, who was supposed to host the celebration of Beyonce's performance at Madison Square Garden last night, managed to evade photographers' aim. Thierry Mugler, a quasi-retired French fashion guru whose last line debuted in 2003 and who now focuses on fragrances, is creative advisor for Beyonce's "I AM..." World Tour. Some top editors at fashion-y mags, as well as beauty industry professionals, willingly posed for the cameras -- see below.

    UPDATE: So Monsieur Mugler was not even supposed to be at these parties -- rather the idea of Thierry Mugler as creative advisor and costume designer (71 in total!) of Queen Beyonce was being celebrated! Oops! So basically this was just a cocktail party before the Beyonce concert for the press, as a PR rep from People's Revolution informed me. Où était Thierry? "I'm not really sure where he was," said the rep. "But he was never scheduled to appear."
