I can’t decide which is more intriguing about this photo. The fact that Joy Bianchi was photographed without glasses? Or the fact that Joy Bianchi was photographed without glasses while standing on the red carpet at one of Hollywood’s most exclusive A-List events of the year?

Oh please, A-List Schmlailist — that’s nothing to Joy. She IS the A-List, as far as we’re concerned. It’s the glasses, or lack thereof, that’s coloring us surprised. Perhaps that’s why she’s standing so close to Elton John — she’s about to snatch his frames!

She was a guest at Elton John’s 16th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party, sponsored by Chopard, and as you can see in this photo of her with David Furnish, had a fabulous time.
