For those Londoners determined to extend Halloween to a three-day romp of shock-dressing and perpetual inebriation, Friday’s Feast of the Dead Ball, held in the seventeenth-century vaults of the old Lord Mayor’s stables, was the soirée of choice. The party was organized by the dandy-esque Viktor Wynd, whose self-appointed mission is to bring elegance and debauchery back to the English night scene. Hence the “Beautiful and Damned” dress code for the evening, which was interpreted in a bevy of slashed wrists, slit throats, and disheveled gowns—all a nice addition to the pig-heads-and-wilted-flowers decor. Unfortunately for uncostumed “Atonement” star Patrick Kennedy, those sporting more flamboyant attire were given precedence at the door. Kennedy was eventually let in after he caught the attention of the sailor-suited Corporal of the Gangway—a.k.a., the doorman.
