Yves Saint Laurent sponsors the star-studded premier of the Metropolitan Opera’s “Armida,” a “fanciful story of the sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison of sensual delights.” Sounds empowering. No wonder Maggie Gyllenhaal, Chloë Sevigny, Julianna Margulies, Ginnifer Goodwin and Bette Midler (among others) will be attending.

The perfect marriage: a flashy MAC flagship opens in flashy Time Square.
