Getting Lucky

Just when you start to tire of Awards Season, along comes the Grammys. The music industry's biggest night tends to be a whole lot looser than the Globes or the Oscars, and that’s why we love it. Remember when Lady Gaga incubated her way down the red carpet in a giant plastic egg back in 2011? That was good TV! This year, if the antics seemed more muted, there were still some moments worth mentioning. Katy Perry played it relatively low-key—for her, at least—in a straight-from-couture number by Valentino embroidered in musical notes (La Traviata, in case you were wondering). Taylor Swift looked every inch the grown-up in glittering Gucci, even if she lost to country upstart Kacey Musgraves . And Beyoncé made the little-known designer Michael Costello a household name overnight with her white lace gown. Not like a virgin at all. But the best-dressed prize goes to Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter , who won Album and Record of the Year. Their tuxes? Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane. And though their collaborator Pharrell Williams took some knocks on social media for his Vivienne Westwood buffalo hat, we applaud the fact that he took a risk. After all, if we wanted to see celebrities play it safe, we'd watch the Oscars.

Haute Society

The Sidaction gala has become the most eclectic red-carpet event of the Paris social calendar, drawing luminaries from fashion, showbiz, the arts, and public life. Last night's roundup of 600 or so guests was no exception: Among the attendees were Isabel Marant , Christian Louboutin , Bouchra Jarrar, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon , Chloë Sevigny , Catherine Deneuve , and Betty Catroux—and that's just a sampling.

"This is pretty much the only place where you can mix with friends in the business in a low-key way," noted Marant. "It's so much bigger [than fashion alone]." Added Catroux, "I don't even follow fashion. To me there is fashion and then there is Yves Saint Laurent. Thanks to Pierre [Bergé] , this [event] occupies a whole different level." The raffle prizes, too, hit new heights: Exclamations ricocheted around the room over loot from Chanel (Farida Khelfa won one bag), Dior, and Roger Vivier. But whomever scored this year's biggest prize—jewelry by Marie-Hélène de Taillac worth several thousand euros—kept it quiet. In all, the fete raised 659,000 euros—more than $900,000—for AIDS research and assistance programs.

There was also a strong showing by art world heavyweights, including top gallerist Kamel Mennour, leading French contemporary artist Fabrice Hyber, and artists Pierre et Gilles , who joined a table hosted by their friend Zahia Dehar. The budding haute lingerie designer, they revealed, is about to do a turn in front of their camera as Marie Antoinette. "It's like a little girl's dream," confirmed the shapely muse, who will appear in a specially created corset, among other finery. "I'm doing a lot of research. We're taking inspiration from Marie Antoinette's love of nature—back then, she was really ahead of her time." The result will decorate a Pierre et Gilles installation at an upcoming show of 18th-century furniture—including pieces that once belonged to the doomed French queen—at the national furniture and textile conservatory at Les Gobelins.

Pasta at Pasolini's

There were several reasons to celebrate at Gucci's screening of The Director tonight. Co-hostess Emmanuelle Alt was celebrating her new arrival, a Jack Russell puppy named Vic (after a Sophie Marceau character). Daniel de la Falaise , wearing a black leather coat that his brother-in-law Marlon Richards' father, Keith, once sported onstage, was celebrating his first page as food editor of Paris Vogue and, beyond that, the arrival of his first book with Rizzoli—which, for anyone who has ever eaten his food or tasted his olive oils, will be a red-letter day. I was celebrating the fact that the screening was right downstairs in my hotel. No need to go out into the rain and bluster.

Christina Voros ' film about two years in the life of Frida Giannini was screened to a crowd coming down from couture. Producer James Franco wasn't on hand; Voros said that, in addition to writing, teaching, directing, art-ing, and whatever else he's usually up to, he sometimes has to act, and this he was duly doing for director Werner Herzog in Morocco. But before the screening, she clarified how responsible he was for the film. They became friends when they were both studying film at New York University, and it was Franco who, four years ago, suggested Giannini as a documentary subject to Voros.

It wasn't an easy assignment. "Fashion and documentary film are antithetical," Voros claimed. But the project was well in keeping with the other ideas that have absorbed her as a documentary maker, exposing closed worlds to encourage understanding of them. One such was a company making pornographic films in San Francisco. "Leather and horse bits, that was my preparation for Gucci," Voros said, laughing. So what did I learn from The Director? I now know how Frida Giannini makes spaghetti alle vongole. I also know where she makes it, in her home at the seaside, which once belonged to Pier Paolo Pasolini. Now there's a summer séance to conjure with.

Isn't It Eccentric?

Giorgio Armani touched down at the Palais de Tokyo last night with a triple-header. First there was the Armani Privé show as usual. Then, as the Paris counterpart to One Night Only , his couture retrospective that hit New York in October, he installed his exhibition Eccentrico—eighty or so archival Privé outfits and accessories dating from 2006 onward—in the museum. Finally, a gala dinner on the museum's lower level.

"For me, he is just one of those awe-inspiring talents," said Kristin Scott Thomas as she headed for her seat. "On a personal level, I don't know that I would call him eccentric, but I will say that he's really fun to have dinner with!"

Chiara Mastroianni , making an appearance after wrapping her new film, Trois Coeurs with Charlotte Gainsbourg, saw things a little differently. "I think that, these days, creating beautiful classics with a twist and resisting the temptation to go completely over-the-top is a form of eccentricity," she said of the runway finale. "It was really poetic, like a constellation or the Milky Way."

Stylist Elizabeth Stewart, on the other hand, had work on the mind. She had just dressed Golden Globe winner Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé for the awards last week, but the season is just ramping up. "I so loved that dress, so basically I came to Paris to see if we could top that," she said. She declined to elaborate, offering only, "I feel like we've found a brilliant idea to work with for the Oscars."

Star Attractions

On an L.A. weekend with an event around every corner, Diane von Furstenberg stole the spotlight with Friday's opening celebration of her new exhibit, Journey of a Dress. Guests like Uma Thurman , Tobey Maguire , and Demi Moore mingled among the 200 dresses in nearly 20,000 square feet of exhibition space. "Everyone knows why they're here," said Coco Rocha , who, alongside Andy Cohen, was providing live red-carpet coverage. "Everyone has a story about their first wrap dress."

Along with the legion of mannequins donning decades of the designer's iconic dresses, Von Furstenberg's likeness was everywhere you looked, from those famous Warhols to playful illustrations by Antonio Lopez, Ruben Toledo, and Konstantin Kakanias. A Ghost May Come, a new work by Dustin Yellin that features the body of a wrap dress suspended in glass, greeted partygoers upon entering. After posing for photos, Von Furstenberg made her way to the back room, reimagined in the disco decor of Studio 54. "Diane pioneered this movement," said Robin Wright, who was wearing a wrap dress of her own. "She made the most practical, pragmatic, sexy dress for every woman, no matter what their shape or size. No wonder she's going 40 years strong!"

On Saturday, it was Sean Penn 's third annual Help Haiti Home event, benefitting his earthquake relief charity J/P HRO, which drew Hollywood's big names—Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow , Chris Hemsworth , and Idris Elba included. "The glorious and resilient Haiti is the country we are blessed to have as our neighbor," Penn told the crowd. "Help us finish the job."

After his impassioned speech, the live auction heated up. Chris Martin bid against Charlize Theron for a brand-new Banksy, made by the artist specially for the event, while Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper vied for a commissioned work by Jeff Koons, featuring Penn's collection of decommissioned guns. Cooper eventually won. At the end of the night, U2 took to the stage for a surprise set. Bono kicked it off: "It's been a while since U2 played a hotel lounge."
