"  Our editor at large, Derek Blasberg, the man behind the weekly Mr. Blasberg&amp;#039;s Best-Dressed List, was a very lucky boy these past few days. And not just because he spent last week in Paris at the Haute Couture shows (did you see the runway looks he suggested for this year&amp;#039;s best actress nominees? or because he was wined and dined by Louis Vuitton at the brand&amp;#039;s store opening in Rome over the weekend. The experience that left us feeling the most jealous was his private tour of the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel, which he wrote about on his blog. All of that decadence and all those papal thrills must have been the impetus for this week&amp;#039;s Best-Dressed List, which he told us was focused on the sort of gilding and embellishments he soaked in while seeing some of the most beautiful treasures in human history. Just what was Derek talking about? A gold Alexander McQueen dress that Cate Blanchett wore to the AACTA Awards. A fringed Naeem Khan dress that Bergdorf Goodman&amp;#039;s Linda Fargo wore at a f\u00EAte she hosted for Christian Louboutin. And there&amp;#039;s no doubt that the tiered and sequined Giambattista Valli dress that Bianca Brandolini donned for a fund-raising gala in Paris had an aura of pomp and circumstance to it. Even better was her accessory for the evening: the designer himself, who, like the Vatican, has a taste for Italian decadence. For the rest of Derek&amp;#039;s favorite looks \u2014 any of which could be the basis of its own fashion religion \u2014 click through the slide show.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
