Central Park Standoff
It Was Funny People Vs. The French at a Pair of Uptown Parties
Emma Stone, Kristen Wiig, Andrew Garfield, and Steve Martin descended on the American Museum of Natural History for its annual fall gala last night. "We're all going to get together and listen to Coldplay and sit under the whale," Jimmy Fallon told Style.com. Creatures of both the sea and the land were among the evening's hot topics. "We once took our nieces and nephews to see the butterfly exhibit," Fallon continued. "But they just started crying, and we thought we ruined their whole lives." Blythe Danner, who came out to support son-in-law Chris Martin, said, "I think the dinosaurs are my favorite, because my grandson likes them so much. I call myself a Grandma Groupie, because whatever he likes to do, I like to do."
Meanwhile, across the park at the French Embassy, Carine Roitfeld groupies including Olivier Theyskens, Natasha Poly, and the evening's host, W magazine editor in chief Stefano Tonchi, had gathered to toast her latest project—an "haute couture documentary" by Loïc Prigent and Fabien Constant. In The Client, Roitfeld visits the ateliers of Azzedine Alaïa and Jean Paul Gaultier. "I feel like an Alaïa Barbie," she tells Azzedine in a scene in which he's fitting her in one of his pieces. "An Alaïa Barbie, it's the best kind of Barbie you can be, no?" said Roitfeld after the screening. "It was a dream, you go to couture and see all those pieces, but getting to put them all on is a whole other thing."
