After telling the press she would be going to a New York “heroes and villains” costume party as incoming White House strategist Steve Bannon, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway instead showed up as Supergirl.

Conway also brought with her another surprise guest: President-elect Donald Trump, dressed as himself. She had told the press that he wouldn’t attend, perhaps to help protect his secret identity.
The party was held at the Owl’s Nest, the sprawling Long Island estate of hedge fund manager Robert Mercer.
Mercer’s daughter Rebekah helped channel what Bloomberg characterized as “millions of dollars of her father’s money” into the campaign to defeat that villain or hero, depending on one’s perspective, Hillary Clinton.
