After Daft Punk — the masked French DJ duo behind “Get Lucky” — accepted a WSJ Magazine Innovator award, they slipped out of their disguises and went unrecognized at an after-party.
The pair was escorted onstage at MoMA on Wednesday, wearing robot masks and tuxes, by Gisele Bündchen in a Versace dress cut to her navel.
“I met these guys in the late ’90s,” said Pharrell Williams. “It was amazing. Because they really are robots. They don’t miss.”

Andre Leon Talley got laughs recalling how he and another of the night’s honorees, Pat McGrath, were forbidden by Vogue diva Anna Wintour from munching on macarons backstage at a recent Paris fashion show, and that he and the top makeup artist share celeb diet doctor Charles Passler.
Also at the awards: Martha Stewart, Karlie Kloss, Valentino, David Chang, Thom Browne and WSJ editor Kristina O’Neill.
Later, spies said, faceless Daft Punk melded into a chic crowd at the opening of André Balazs’ Cafe Standard in the East Village, which included Jack Dorsey and Lily Donaldson.
