Chanel event brings Oscar nominees together the night before the big show
Everyone was ready to celebrate, undaunted by the long day ahead or the pressure of the awards show Sunday. Oscar nominees at the dinner included Adrien Brody, Demi Moore, Jeremy Strong, Ralph Fiennes and Fernanda Torres.
Lupita Nyong'o, who voiced the robot Roz in 'The Wild Robot,' which is up for best animated film, said she is just excited to attend the show and see how the night plays out.
'When you vote, it's more interesting,' Nyong'o said. 'Also, it's been a crazy time in the world, so the fact that we still get to sit around and celebrate imagination? That's a privilege. And I'm looking forward to doing that.'
The black carpet on Saturday was a conveyer belt of celebrities: actors Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning arrived together, chatting casually with TV journalist Gayle King. Director and producer Judd Apatow made it a family affair, posing with his daughter, actor Maude Apatow.
'Oh, I think I will take a boyfriend picture, thank you so much,' actor Natasha Lyonne told photographers before grabbing her date's hand. Noticing 'Bridgerton' actor Regé-Jean Page nearby, she said with a smile, 'They're both my boyfriends.'
Other dinner guests included 'Dune' filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, 'Wicked' star Jeff Goldblum, musician and producer Questlove, filmmaker Patty Jenkins and actors Riley Keough and Olivia Wilde. Some attendees, like Fiennes and comedian John Mulaney, skipped the waiting photographers.
On the patio inside, Harvey Keitel was thrilled to see Willem Dafoe and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The two, who co-starred in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' were soon joined by actor Lily-Rose Depp. Behind them, actor Michael Keaton snuck by to see a friend, while Mulaney and his wife, actor Olivia Munn, huddled in a corner chatting with actor Zoey Deutch.
Brody held court with some admirers elsewhere, while 'The Brutalist' filmmaker Brady Corbet stayed close to his partner and co-writer Mona Fastvold. Strong navigated the room in sneakers and actor Julie Delpy tried to get a word with Moore.
In another corner, actor Felicity Jones chatted with filmmaker Gia Coppola, who said the event is a celebratory night where the two art forms of cinema and fashion can come together.
Most attendees were bedecked head to toe in Chanel, a fashion house that has been intertwined with cinema since its earliest days.
In 1930, Samuel Goldwyn invited Gabrielle Chanel to Hollywood to dress film stars including Gloria Swanson. On her return to Paris, Chanel collaborated with French filmmakers like Jean Renoir and dressed many of the new wave actresses such as Jeanne Moreau and Romy Schneider.
Finch, a British producer and entrepreneur, helped kick off Saturday's event before attendees took their seats in the dining room with a brief speech about being guests in this country and not standing for tyranny, which had Corbet cheering enthusiastically.
Finch said the best part of the evening is when it's over and he is certain people have had fun.
'Also, when I get to see these people the next day win an Academy Award,' Finch said. 'Celebrating film is always the most amazing part of the night.'

'Hamilton': Where is the original Broadway cast now?
He hasn't thrown away his shot. When "Hamilton" became a rare Broadway juggernaut 10 years ago, the hip-hop musical launched its ultra-talented star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, into the pop culture stratosphere. In the decade since it opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015, the show's original cast has similarly gone on to win Emmy, Grammy and Tony awards, and even been nominated for Oscars. Miranda, who played Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, recently announced that the pro-shot of the musical (already on Disney+) will hit theaters Sept. 5. Before then, here's where else you have seen the familiar faces who brought history to life onstage: Lin-Manuel Miranda Since "Hamilton" premiered a decade ago, Miranda has lent his songwriting prowess to Disney's "Moana," "Encanto," "The Little Mermaid" remake and "Mufasa: The Lion King." He also channeled Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins Returns" with Emily Blunt, directed the Oscar-nominated "Tick, Tick … Boom!," and released a concept album "Warriors," based on the 1979 movie. 'Hamilton': As the musical heads to movie theaters, Lin-Manuel Miranda always knew it would last Leslie Odom Jr. The "Smash" alum won best leading actor in a musical for his performance as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton."

She was a comedic force in "Documentary Now!" and "Girls5Eva," and was recently the subject of a documentary, "Satisfied," about her journey to motherhood. Christopher Jackson After originating the role of Benny in Miranda's "In the Heights" on Broadway, Jackson went on to play George Washington in "Hamilton."

Kanye West's former California home is unrecognizable following a dramatic reconstruction — and will list for $17M
Once the humble neighbor to Kim Kardashian's $60 million estate, a plot formerly owned by Kanye West has undergone a dramatic transformation — from low-slung ranch house to a soulful showpiece. Now dubbed 'Three Planes,' the newly built equestrian estate is hitting the market for $16.99 million, offering more than just square footage — but also a full-on spiritual experience. West purchased the original 3,200-square-foot house in 2021 for $4.5 million, with sources previously telling The Post it was to stay close to his four children. But he never moved in. 19 A photo of the home Kanye West purchased before it was renovated to make way for a new modern estate. 19 A Hidden Hills property last owned by Kanye West has been transformed beyond recognition. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 West purchased the modest 3,200-square-foot home in 2021 for $4.5 million. AP Two years later, he sold the property to Calabasas-based developer H2 Development for $4.25 million. They promptly leveled the structure and teamed up with Los Angeles designer Jae Omar to reimagine the space as a luxurious homage to the land's indigenous roots. 19 West sold it at a loss two years later for $4.3 million, and it was completely gutted with a new property built in its place. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 The 1-acre lot is home to a $17 million architectural showpiece dubbed 'Three Planes.' Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 The 11,500-square-foot estate is designed by Jae Omar. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 Inspired by the cosmology of the Chumash people, the indigenous tribe native to the region, the home is conceived as a 'living myth' rooted in their three sacred realms: sky, earth and underworld. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo Omar — known for his work on estates sought after by the likes of Sean McVay, DJ Zedd and Meghan Trainor — drew inspiration from the Chumash people, the Native American tribe that once inhabited this region of Southern California. The result: an 11,000-square-foot estate designed to evoke the tribe's cosmological framework — three interconnected realms of sky, earth and underworld. 'I wanted to create a space where you could feel all three at once, and move between them with intention,' Omar said in a statement. 'Every material, every line, every shadow was chosen to honor the Chumash belief in transformation and transcendence.' Clad in Shou Sugi Ban siding, Santa Barbara stone and hand-applied plaster, the estate's silhouette nods to Hidden Hills' equestrian roots with a modern ranch-style form. 19 The residence blends earthy materials like Shou Sugi Ban siding and Santa Barbara stone with curated Chumash-era pottery and a design ethos that honors spirituality, transformation and natural connection. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 There's a hunger here for homes that are not just luxurious, but meaningful, Omar said. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 The formal dining room. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo 19 A den. Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo Inside, it's a masterclass in organic modernism: soaring beamed ceilings, white oak floors, sandstone walls and earth-toned plaster finishes among the eye-catching features. The five-bedroom, 6.5-bath home includes a wellness wing, a yoga deck, a media room and a wine cellar evocatively described as 'the underworld' in listing materials. The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances and finishes, joined by a breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry. 19 The primary suite.

Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo The spa-grade primary suite sits on the main level and features a sculptural soaking tub, a steam shower and a sauna. Four secondary bedrooms upstairs each include their own ensuite bathrooms. Outdoors, the 1-acre-plus property extends the home's immersive vision. A resort-style pool and spa, a firepit, an alfresco kitchen and a yoga deck are joined by a detached horse stable — both a nod to the community's equestrian culture and a rare amenity in new construction. 'This community has always been about privacy and prestige. Now, it's also becoming a canvas for architectural storytelling,' Omar said. 19 A view of the open floor plan.

Christopher Amitrano / CS8 Photo The home, located at 24877 Eldorado Meadow, is being marketed by Veronika Khomyn of The Agency. It's expected to officially hit the market later this month. As for Omar, 'Three Planes' is part of a broader creative push. His latest project, 'Five Fathoms' in the Hollywood Hills, takes inspiration from Ariel's siren song in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest.' But in Hidden Hills, he said, the challenge, and the opportunity, was more grounded. 'My goal is to redefine what it means to live well within the Hidden Hills community,' he told The Post. 'Alongside H2 Development, we're not just constructing speculative homes, we're curating homes that hold a soul, a story, a spirit and reflect the extraordinary community.'

Who Is Leonardo Dicaprio's Girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti?
We're gonna keep this short and sweet since we know you're here for all the 🍵 on Leonardo DiCaprio's latest girlfriend of *checks calendar* two years (!!!!), supermodel Vittoria Ceretti. While the two have kept things relatively low-key (save for their buzzy mega yacht getaway with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez...), we're here with absolutely everything you need to know about their relationship status, how they met, and that Leo pic spotted on Vittoria's phone during last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But first! Let's start with a bit of background. Vittoria was born on June 7, 1998, in a small town outside of Milan called Brescia. At 14, she made her modeling debut at Elite Model Look, aka one of the most distinguished international competitions in the world. And ever since then, she's been seriously booked and busy. Among one of the many highlights of her career, however, was her first beauty contract with Chanel. 'My first contract with Chanel, my beauty contract, that's when I was like, 'What happened, how did I get here?'' she gushed during a candid interview with Vogue. Since then, the supermodel has graced the runways and campaigns of countless top designers, including *takes deep breath* Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Givenchy, Fendi, Prada, Miu Miu, Versace, Valentino Proenza Schouler, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. Whoah. Yep, as a hugely successful figure in her field, Vittoria cultivated relationships with a buncha famous designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February 2019. Fast-forward to the 2023 Met Gala, which paid tribute to the late celeb via its 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' theme, and the model made sure to be in attendance. Prior to walking the legendary red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vittoria took to social media and shared a touching tribute to him in the form of a letter on Instagram. The year? 2023. The event? Leo's Killers of the Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Despite meeting at the ultra-exclusive event, however, it wasn't until August of that year that the two were romantically linked thanks to some 👀 pics of the couple on an ice cream date in Los Angeles that dropped. According to an eyewitness who spoke to Page Six, there was most certainly a 'vibe' between the duo just by the 'way they were talking to each other, you could feel the energy.' Well! Then!!!! Oh, and just a few days after, in early September, Leo and Vittoria upped the ante by being spotted dancing in Ibiza, Spain, where the actor reportedly called the supermodel his 'girlfriend.' 'Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time,' an insider told the Daily Mail at the time. 'But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, traveling around on romantic trips.' P.S. When it came to Leo's, erm, track record, the source dished, 'It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways. There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.' You read that right! In photos shared by Page Six in September 2023, Leo and Vittoria were seen in Milan leaving the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum the day prior alongside the actor's mom, Irmelin Indenbirken. And clearly, the family reunions haven't stopped, because in October 2024, the couple and Leo's parents (aka mom Irmelin and stepfather David Ward) were snapped in Italy enjoying dinner, according to TMZ. Luckily, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show blessed us with many things—including the tidbit that the supermodel has a small photo of a young Leo from his Growing Pains days on her phone case. Ahem: So 😭 happy 😭 for 😭 her 😭😭😭. But people def thought they were after Vittoria was spotted wearing a silver ring on *that* finger back in March 2024. Despite the 👀 placement, however, multiple sources told TMZ that Leo hadn't proposed. Plus, Vittoria has reportedly had the ring since at least September 2022—aka before the two even began dating—so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That said... Back in January 2020, the celeb said 'I do' to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri, though it's believed the two are currently separated. Per Grazia magazine, the two tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Ibiza, where Vittoria donned a flowy, A-line gown by Jacquemus. '01.06.2020 🤍 from this day forward,' Vittoria penned in the caption of a sweet Instagram carousel of wedding photos. Side note: The supermodel stopped sharing images of Matteo on social media around 2022, which is well before she and Leo met, so do with that what you will! Aaaaaanyway! That's pretty much all we know about Vittoria and her 'ship with Leo, but fear not! This story will be updated with any and all news about the couple.
