If being famous is an art, then these celebrities are creating some museum-worthy moments at Art Basel Miami Beach. From Janelle Monáe’s epic DJ set at the Cartier Trinity 100 celebration to Jenny Chandler’s show-stopping Balmain ensemble at her art opening, it seems like everyone with a party invitation is ready to dress like a masterpiece. (See also: Jared Leto in a flight suit and impossible-to-find skater sweater.) Here are the most intriguing people spotted at the fashion parties, gallery openings, auction previews, sculpture installations, and other excuses to drench the shoreline in champagne.
