It had taken a long time for the case to come to justice. In 1988, Scott Johnson, a gay American graduate student, was found dead at the bottom of a cliff frequented by gay men. He had gone there with Scott White, the man who was convicted, after they met at a Sydney pub. At first, the police ruled the case a suicide. But Johnson’s brother, Steve, was skeptical. After he became aware of a 2005 inquest into three similar deaths from the same period, Steve petitioned for further inquests, which overturned the suicide ruling and concluded that Scott was the victim of a hate crime. Background: Between 1970 and 2010, at least 88 gay people were killed by local gangs. Former officials have said the police at that time were often hostile toward gay men and did not properly investigate their deaths. What’s next: Last year, the New South Wales government announced an inquiry into these deaths, and police investigations continue.

Gold, unsurprisingly, took center stage, as stars riffed on the theme of “gilded glamour.” But designers also took inspiration from the late 19th century, an age of opulence, excess and morally dubious celebrity. There were corsets, feathers and tiaras, capes, opera gloves and trains. Some paid homage to New York itself: Blake Lively, a co-host, unfurled a skirt adorned with constellations from the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal.
