We asked
What’s your beauty secret
at the Dior Beauté dinner
“Try a drop of sesame oil as a
moisturizer. Mix it with essential
oils so you don’t smell like stir-fry!”
—GINNIFER GOODWIN in Dior
“Put eyeliner right at the
lash line, so even if you are
just wearing mascara, it
makes your lashes pop.”
—KATE WALSH in Dior
“I moisturize
all the time.”
—SHARON
STONE in Dior
“I always carry eye
cream with me. I put
it on throughout the
day.” —CHRISTINA

—ANGIE HARMON

“Use an eyelash
curler at the beginning of the day—
you won’t even have
to put on mascara.”
—CAMILLA BELLE
in Dior
“Add light shimmer
on the outside edge
of your top lip to
make your pout look
fuller.” —amBER
VALLETTA in Dior
The French garden inspiration for the Chateau Marmont
dinner transported guests worlds away from L.A. “As an
actress, I thought I’d be sent off to exotic places, but I’m
always on a soundstage here, so this feels like a vacation
for me,” said Ginnifer Goodwin, taking in the candelabralit colonnade and Joseph Free narcissus and rose
arrangements. Her tablemate Camilla Belle was looking
for ways to practice her Italian language skills, while
Amber Valletta peeked inside gift boxes stocked with
Dior’s new spring glosses and shadows. In between
courses of roasted-pumpkin risotto and berry cobbler,
Sharon Stone, who is the face of the brand’s skin-care and
watch lines, shared snapshots. “We used to exchange
photos of boyfriends and handbags,” said Angie Harmon,
laughing. “Now it’s children.” —Kwala Mandel
“I have really dry skin,
so mixing moisturizer
with foundation is a
good solution.”

We asked Giorgio Armani ...
What he loves
about these stars
at the opening dinner of
his new N.Y.C. store
“"""“ALICIA KEYS
selected one of my
favorite Giorgio
Armani coral
cocktail dresses.
I admire someone
who makes a bold
color choice
for evening.”
“To me, LEONARDO DICAPRIO (in
Giorgio Armani) is the epitome of
how a movie star should dress,” says
Armani. “You certainly know when he’s
in the room—he’s a force of nature.”
“john mayer (in Giorgio
Armani) can embody many
sensibilities, but in this tailored
suit, he was total sophistication.”
Victoria Beckham, Ricky Martin and Alicia Keys were
just some of the many stars who hit Fifth Avenue for
the opening of Giorgio Armani’s ultramodern mega
flagship, a soaring 43,000-square-foot Massimiliano and
Doriana Fuksas–designed glass structure housing every
collection (six to be exact) in the Armani universe, from
Armani Jeans to Armani Casa. The designer chose to
mark the occasion with an intimate dinner for friends
and a $1 million gift to New York City’s Fund for Public
Schools. “Armani was one of the first designer labels
I ever bought,” said Beckham, before climbing the
museum-worthy staircase to the Ristorante, where
guests toasted the Italian fashion giant’s latest venture.
“I’m in awe of him!” —Bronwyn Barnes
“Molto sexy!
victoria
Beckham and I
collaborated on this
Emporio Armani
dress—she is a shimmering golden girl
with a true passion
for design.”
“True to her modeling
background, MOLLY SIMS
wears everything well. I like
the looks that complement
her effervescence, like this
Giorgio Armani dress with
beading and fringe.”
