Valentino has been synonymous with glamour forever! Think Jackie O.'s wedding dress, Elizabeth Taylor's many wedding dresses and Nancy Reagan's ball gowns. There were guests from the Reagan era in attendance -- like Texas socialite Lynn Wyatt, Carolina Herrera and Blythe Danner -- as well up-to-the-moment glamourpusses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes, Anne Hathaway, Coco Rocha and Selita Ebanks. All were at the MoMA for the premiere of Matt Tyrnauer's documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor (sponsored by Gilt Groupe and Quintessentially), which follows Valentino and longtime business partner Giancarlo Giammetti for two years as they confront the final act of a nearly 50-year-long career. The struggle of art versus commerce is the theme, but ultimately the story is about love. "Love is what is felt for Valentino's vision of a beautifully-gowned lady," to quote Gwyneth.
