Chanel Hosted Yet Another Bag-Heavy Party in NYC

There ain’t no party like a Chanel party because a Chanel party is full of beautiful people with even more beautiful handbags. As they do every year, Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld descended on the Tribeca Film Festival to host the Chanel Artists Dinner, which celebrates Lagerfeld’s favorite people: actresses and other creatives, mostly (but not always) of the indie variety. This year, the party was held at Balthazar, and the arrivals photos were, as always, full of bags and clothes worthy of a Friday morning swoon-fest.

Sofia has been a fashion industry mainstay for so long that I’m not even 100% sure what she does. She’s just chic.

Harley is a fixture of these parties; when she goes on vacation, I’m pretty sure they cease to exist in New York.

Karl always likes to throw out a couple of wild cards on his guest lists. This time, the unexpected attendee was Cobie Smulders of How I Met Your Mother fame.

It takes some serious balls to carry Prada to a Chanel party; I have renewed respect for Uma Therman.

Minnie Driver
Chanel Chevron Timeless Clutch

Minnie Driver doesn’t get as much credit for being virtually ageless as some other actresses, but clearly she’s doing something right.

Let this photo be reassurance to all of us that even totally gorgeous models are capable of taking a slightly wonky photo.

This model-actress is only 18, but Karl Lagerfeld is great at spotting It Girls before the rest of us are paying attention.
