Giraffe in a dress? Model Elle Macpherson arrives at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.

Elton took a swipe at Lily, Lily hit back at Elton, then some other bloke insulted Elle.
It was one of the livelier GQ Men of the Year Awards nights in recent history, The Times of London reported.
And the entertainment world's top brass witnessed the entire spectacle.
Pop singer Lily Allen, 23, made her first mistake, slurping champagne non-stop on stage with co-host Elton John, 61.
The music veteran - and teetotaller - indulged his offsider's slurred words and swearing but couldn't resist a tiny dig.
When Allen told the star-studded Royal Opera House audience, "Now we reach a very special point in the evening," John sniped: "What, you are going to have another drink?"
The 23-year-old popette, gussied up in a floor-sweeping ball gown, responded: "F--- off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me."
And never one to disappoint, the Rocket Man declared: "I could still snort you under the table."
Onlookers, including Elle Macpherson, Gordon Ramsay and Thandie Newton, must have enjoyed the display.
But the Australian mega-model could not avoid her own cameo in the evening's shenanigans when she presented Primal Scream with their band of the year gong.
Bass player Gary "Mani" Mounfield took one look at the towering beauty and said: "F---ing hell, a giraffe in a dress. Nice one."
The Oscars need this kind of controversy.
