Rebel with a cause: At Monday night's Costume Institute Gala, Abbey Lee Kershawlifted up her custom-made Rag & Bone dress to reveal the words 'gun control' written in block letters on her torsoAt Monday night's Costume Institute gala, where the theme was Punk:Chaos to Couture, many thought the evening - and exhibition itself - delivered a sanitized version of punk's anarchic world.
But not Abbey Lee Kersaw. The model used the benefit to make her own political statement, in what was arguably the most punk thing that happened at the benefit.

The protest of sorts, in support of gun control in the U.S. where the model lives when she's not in her hometown, Sydney, coyly cemented her stance on the current debate.
