Calling all Tim Burton fans! A few weeks back, we told you about the upcoming exhibition that looks back at the director’s showbiz career and on Tuesday it kicked off in style with a benefit dinner at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). In attendance was the man of the moment himself, along with his partner and frequent star of his films, Helena Bonham Carter, who, dressed in a black gown, boots and with messy bed hair looked like she’s wandered straight from the set of one of his films. Also rucking up to support his longtime collaborator was People magazine’s newly crowned sexiest man, Johnny Depp and he and Helena hosted the event which also boasted among its glamorous ranks Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen in The Twilight Saga), iconic Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Talking to MTV News about the back-slapping bash, Burton admitted: “It’s so surreal that it’s a bit of an out-of-body experience. So you don’t actually feel like it’s you. It’s somebody else. But like I said, it’s a cool honour. I got to see friends that I hadn’t seen in many years. It’s a real nice thing.”

Tickets for the bash were pricey, with the cheapest $2,500 and marked a fun introduction to the retrospective which opens its doors this Sunday and continues until 26th April 2010.
