Andrew Scott, Christian Slater Celebrate Tod's ‘Italian Hands' Book in New York
On Tuesday night, Tod's hosted a cocktail party at its Madison Avenue boutique to celebrate its new coffee table book 'Italian Hands' and signature Gommino loafer. The Italian touch was evident throughout the store, as trays of quiche, arancini balls and cocktails circulated around the room to guests decked in Tod's looks. Katie Holmes was an early arrival, catching up with Tod's chairman Diego Della Valle as 'The Pitt' star Isa Briones sipped a bellini nearby. Christian Slater stopped to chat with Holmes en route to the shoemaking demo, where an aproned artisan was in the middle of hand-constructing a Gommino loafer.

' One of the people that works for this company, our kids go to the same school. So that makes it a very small world, and makes it feel more personal to be here.' The actor recently returned to the city after wrapping production on 'The Hole,' directed by Kim Jee-woon. ' I just got back from Korea, so I'm a little jet-lagged,' said Slater. 'It's definitely a psychological thriller. Theo James is great, and the director was amazing. I loved it. I was there for about a month,' he said of the film, which just announced a theatrical deal with Amazon MGM's Orion Pictures. Other guests stopping by throughout the evening included Andrew Scott, Penn Badgley, Rachel Brosnahan, Jason Ralph, Danai Gurira, KiKi Layne and more. The orange hardcover book, which celebrates Made in Italy craftsmanship, was displayed throughout the store, where guests could flip through pages of photos depicting artisans working with glass, terracotta, brass and bronze, and pesto. 'People love it,' said Della Valle about the reception to 'Italian Hands,' which launched with a party during Milan Design Week in April. The celebrations will continue around the world, as the brand plans to host its next book event in Asia. ' Craftsmanship. The colors, the glamour, the livability. It's everything good,' said Nicole Ari Parker of the Tod's appeal. ' I went to private school my whole life, as a girl, second to 12th grade. So I appreciate a crisp shirt, a nice loafer. Tod's is very comforting to me.' The actress attended the party alongside her 'And Just Like That' costar Sarita Choudhury as both prepare for the show's third season, which premieres on May 29. 'We're excited. It's a season of summer. We're not in furs and boots,' said Choudhury. 'And hardship in the sun is different. You know when you're sweating but you're like, I look better? It's almost like a sheen.' Dylan Efron has been in the New York sun for about a week, and recently attended the red carpet premiere for 'Mission Impossible' at Lincoln Center. But his humble brag wasn't the Tom Cruise moment. 'I've been here about six times this year, and I've had the most beautiful weather every time I've come,' said the 'Traitors' star. 'I think I've brought the sunshine every time.' The newly minted reality star is no stranger to Tod's, having worn the brand often during his press tour. 'It just kind of fits me well,' said Efron, who accessorized his Italian-made look with a Japan-made point-and-shoot Contax T2 film camera, hanging from a crossbody strap. ' It's easy to forget when you're traveling where you went, what you did,' he said. 'It's a nice little way to look back at all you've done.'

Ella Bleu Travolta Hosts Tod's Luncheon, With Olivia Holt and More
'The shoes were the first solid thing that we were going with, this color,' said actress Ella Bleu Travolta of her look for the day. She had on Tod's Gommino loafers — naturally, as the face of the footwear. She opted for the 'driving' style in brown patent leather, paired with a brown tunic-cut leather dress and trousers.

'I bring him everywhere.' The Italian brand hosted a luncheon in its Rodeo Drive boutique in Beverly Hills on Wednesday in celebration of the shoe — launched at the end of the 1970s, with a sole covered in 133 rubber pebbles — and Travolta's new campaign. 'It honestly just felt like we were all hanging out, and they were there capturing it,' she said of the campaign, shot by photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch in Tuscany alongside four other young talents — Lennon Gallagher, Stella Banderas, Roberto Rossellini and Leo Gassmann. All have familiar last names; Travolta, who turned 25 this month, is the daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. 'Everyone who was in the shoot was so sweet,' she continued. 'We all became very fast friends. I felt like we were on a movie set. It was such a big production, but it also felt so intimate. It was just a lot of fun.' Tod's brought a taste of Italy to the store's third-floor terrace, serving up a lunch of endive salad with shaved parmesan and pomegranates, paccheri al pomodoro and Basque cheesecake. 'I'll need a nap after this,' guests echoed, under an overcast sky. The event brought out a slew of rising actresses, including Fiona Palomo; Larsen Thompson; Harlow Olivia, daughter of Patricia Arquette; Olivia Holt; María Gabriela de Faría; Amiah Miller, as well as singer Claire Khodara and Art Production Fund's Casey Fremont. Next, Travolta will appear in a film with her father, she said: 'It's a very personal project. I can't say too, too much about it, but it's a project I did with my dad. It's very personal, very beautiful. It's something that he's been wanting to do for a really long time, and it's finally done. It's actually interesting, because it's very close to home. It has a lot to do with our family, and our family is a part of it, even my aunts and uncles. It's really cool. I'm really excited about it. It's coming out this year I think.'
