Gucci and Vanity Fair
Cap Off Cannes
In Cannes, there are
parties every minute, ranging
all the way from 1 to 10 — and
every so often, there’s one that
reaches magical proportions.
Such was the swank affair
Vanity Fair thew with Gucci
in honor of Robert DeNiro and
the newly restored Once Upon
Dresses
du Jour
a Time in America. Hosted by
Graydon Carter and Gucci’s Frida
Giannini and Francois-Henri
Pinault, it started with a dinner
at the Hotel du Cap’s Eden
Roc, followed by a bigger party
out on the Eden Roc’s deck.
My Week With Marilyn director
Simon Curtis, whose wife Elizabeth
McGovern had to return
to London after Once Upon a
blush seems to be the hot Cannes color this year, and what better? It’s not far from
the color of the rosé wine everyone drinks in the South of France. Jessica Chastain,
sometimes hit or miss in black tie, hit the bullseye in this Gucci nude flowy chiffon
gown with gold embellishments at the Lawless premier. definitely her best yet,
far beyond her oscar look. Gucci hit a double header on Saturday night,
also designing this one of a kind fall 2012 gold flapper look with feathers for
Naomi Watts to wear ar their party with Vanity Fair.

Time’s Friday night premier
due to shooting having started
on season three of Downton
Abbey, shared that during the
screening, there’s a scene where
DeNiro says to McGovern’s
character, “We haven’t seen
each other in thirty years.”
“And,” Curtis told THR, “they
actually hadn’t seen each other
in exactly thirty years. It was
such an out of body moment!”
Alexander Payne was describing
to friends what it’s like to be
a jury member: “You want to
be diplomatic, but at the same
time, it’s a moment where you
should be the most honest and
the most opinionated.” James
Toback shot Alec Baldwin
negotiating the party for their
upcoming documentary on
Cannes. Paul Haggis was telling
Julie Huntsinger, director of the
Telluride fest, that he’s off to
Rome to direct and produce his
new film, Third Person, about
couples in three cities. So far,
he’s lined up Liam Neeson, Olivia
Wilde and Naomi Watts to star
— Watts floating through the
party in her Gucci glittery dress
like Eleanora Duse. Even though
they’ve been married a long
time, Paul Bettany kept staring
at wife Jennifer Connelly, saying,
“Darling, you look so beautiful.”
With supermodels in sheer
dresses in the room like Natasha
Poly, Anya Rubik and Bianca
Balti, it was quite a beautiful
crowd — but equalled by the
sheer power of DeNiro, Carter,
Michel Hazavanicius, Bryan
Lourd, David Geffen, Tom Freston,
Harvey Weinstein, Chris Albrecht,
Ron Burkle, Jim Gianopulos,
John Hillcoat, Jeffrey Katzenberg,
members of Sergio Leone’s
family, Max Mutchnik and Wendi
Murdoch. Mia Wasikowska, in a
purple J. Mendel, stuck close
to her stylist Ryan Hastings.
“You wouldn’t think I’d be
overwhelmed by all this at this
point,” she laughed. “But I’m
not quite jaded yet.”
Ines de La Fressange:
Model Designer
Ines de La Fressange is an iconic
French model who was the first
Chanel model ever on contract.
And still, at age 54, she’s lithe
and gorgeous and full of energy
as a L’Oreal spokesperson at
Cannes; she’s now charged with
reinventing the plush Roger
Vivier brand of shoes, with
designer Bruno Frissoni — the
original Vivier designed the
shoes for Belle de
Jour. “It’s a bit
ironic I’m working
with a beauty
company,” she
laughed “When I de La Fressange
came to Cannes
with Chanel years ago, I didn’t
care less how I looked — I didn’t
even bring makeup!”
Making Up With Tilda

Film Festival creating the faces
of a rainbow coalition of diverse
actresses and models for day
and night does not phase Karim
Rahman, based in Paris. For
Tilda Swinton’s red carpet look
for Moonrise Kingdom, he told
THR, “I mixed L’Oreal Electric
orange number 407 with coral
for her lip color, and a lot of
blush. But she doesn’t like to
wear anything on her eyes, not
even mascara — this way, her
face is monochromatic with her
orange hair.” thr
