When legendary designer Karl
Lagerfeld requests their presence at a fashion show, stars such
as Naomi Watts, Mischa Barton, Maria Bello and Julianne Moore happily
oblige. The actresses swept into Grand Central Terminal midday Wednesday
to check out Lagerfeld's new cruise collection for Chanel, consisting
of filmy dresses and blouses, jeans and, of course, the company's
classic jackets.
The celebrities, all decked
out in Chanel, mingled with a who's who of the fashion world. Moore
sat next to American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, there with daughter
Bee Shaffer.
The first Chanel item Moore
ever purchased? "Sunglasses, probably," she said.
And her favorite item in her closet is "a black Chanel
bag that I probably use every single week. I love it,"
she said.
A History of Violence's
Bello, meanwhile, said Chanel brings out her sexy side.
"I
feel naughty in Chanel," she said. "I feel provocative
without being showy."
Barton walked in five minutes before
the show started. The last to walk in was a smiling Watts, who waved
to friends and had a chat with Moore after the show.
"I feel very classic in Chanel,"
said Watts, in a black jacket and shorts. "It mixes the feminine
with the masculine very well."
