apres dior: when john met tallulah

Our tipsters were right: Monday night's Dior Resort show did include the Charlize/J. Lo/Xtina trifectaand Lauren Hutton, Jacqueline Schnabel, and Lou Doillon were there, too, just for good measure. With that kind of star wattage, the excitement didn't stop with the show's finale. (This was a good thing, as the pool runway and exit ramp at Guastavino's wasn't quite long enough to accommodate the entire brigade of models, causing a makeshift, but still gorgeous, saunter backstage for the girls.) Down the stairwell, Dior continued the party with cocktails and canapés. Lopez, never out of squeezing distance of hubby Marc Anthony, mouthed along to the Madonna lyrics (did she get an advance copy of the very recently released album? Or is she just a quick learner?), and "Gossip Girl" 's Leighton Meester, in a tiered bright green Galliano creation, was overheard explaining how thrilled she was to get a personal invite from the designer himself. But the biggest fashion moment came when Fabiola Beracasa introduced Tallulah Ormsby-Gore to John Galliano. Tallulah, the daughter of Galliano's former muse Lady Amanda Harlech (before she famously and scandalously decamped for Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel posse), was wearing a logo T-shirt from one of the designer's early collections, when her mum still poked around his studio. "Oh, yes, I remember that shirt," the designer told the fashion progeny. "And it brings back so many memories. How great to see it again."
