A case of the sniffles couldn't keep Nicole Kidman from joining the likes of Lauren Bacall, Griffin Dunne, Adrian Grenier, Padma Lakshmi, and host Linda Wells at Thursday night's Cinema Society screening of Margot at the Wedding. Wearing a Jil Sander peacoat that showed off her gams, Kidman expounded gamely, if somewhat hoarsely, on her personal fashion credo. "Only wear what you feel comfortable in. And don't be frightened to wear color," she advised, before noting the immediate irony of her statement: "As I say, wearing full black."

Uptown, meanwhile, Carolina Herrera sponsored the Apollo Circle Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Watching Byrdie Bell, Tory Burch, and their fellow socials on the dance floor, Mrs. Herrera remarked, "It's so wonderful to see so many beautiful girls here—and in my dresses." A different group of socialites and celebrities gathered at Capitale for the Aid for AIDS My Hero Gala. Style.com's Candy Pratts Price introduced Narciso Rodriguez, who was honored for his fundraising efforts. In 2006, the designer made AIDS Walk history by raising the largest amount of money by an individual. Last night's efforts added a further half a million dollars to the cause.
