If who comes to your party is an indication of your popularity, then Carine Roitfeld is the most popular girl in Paris. The list of attendees at last night’s European launch of her special M.A.C Cosmetics collection (which ironically leaves Canadian shelves tomorrow) runs the gamut of fashion’s biggest and best.
Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino Garavani, Azzedine Alaia, Nicolas Ghesquière, Riccardo Tisci, Mario Testino, Giambattista Valli, Haider Ackermann, Anna Dello Russo, Kanye West, Natalia Vodianova, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and many, many more turned up last night to toast the former Vogue Paris chief, editor of her own magazine and world’s most stylish grandma.
Black ribbons were draped from the chandeliers, artists applied tiny black stars to guest’s cheeks. Even the coat check guys were done up with Roitfeld’s trademark smokey eyes.
London’s Paloma Faith rocked the house and by night’s end, Carine Roitfeld was taking a spin on the dance floor with Karl Lagerfeld (noticeably absent: Karl’s kitty, Choupette).
