A look inside Chanel's dazzling pre-Oscars dinner hosted by Charles Finch.
After successfully clearing the hurdle of the red carpet and its storm of camera flashes , guests were greeted by a six-member Mariachi band, a staple of the party—with the exception of last year, when the tradition was suspended out of respect to the recent passing of Karl Lagerfeld.
New arrivals were then warmly welcomed by Mr. Finch, before making their way into a small yard, where they vied for the attention of liveried wait staff serving up a first round of cocktails in front of the verdant backdrop of the Polo Lounge. Despite an exclusive guest list capped at 150 seats, the space was soon crowded with some of cinema’s heavyweights as well as a number of fresh faces. Robert De Niro engaged in animated conversation with Harvey Keitel and Judd Apatow, while Margaret Qualley in a classic black satin jacket and skirt combo could be seen sneaking up to Phoebe Tonkin and Laura Love before going in for a hug. And it was not just actors.
As for Coco Chanel’s own Hollywood adventure, suffice it to say, that she was unimpressed with the place: “Like an evening at the Folies Bergère,” the designer reportedly said of her time in Tinseltown, comparing it to the infamousback home. She returned to Paris and went on to make costumes for some of cinema’s greatest masterpieces, including Jean Renoir’s, which has recently been restored with the support from the fashion house that bears her name.
