PAPERMAG: Chatting With Nacho Figueras, Minnie Driver and Rachel Zoe at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

Though polo matches are usually found on pristine fields in the UK, this year the PacificPalisades proved to be just as fabulous and worthy a home for theannual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. There were no princes andqueens, but plenty of L.A. royalty turned out to sip on champaignand take in the match including Minnie Driver, Rachel Zoe, Mischa Barton,Cameron Silver, Buzz Aldrin and Sex and the City's Willie Garson. Of course I'd love to pretend that everyone came out to enjoy the age-old sport of aristocracy and turn the tufts athalf-time, something tells me that the huge crowds of women turned out to get a glimpse of international polo star and the face of Ralph Lauren'sBlack label (and all Polo colognes) Nacho Figueras. PAPERMAG chats with Classic attendees, including the Argentinian heart throb, below.

What song were you listening to before the game?

NachoFigueras: As I was coming up the grassy hill I was listening to"Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. The song is very powerful and moving."

What do you eat before games?

NF: It's tradition to always eat a big bowl of pasta, no sauces just plain. It gives me energy."

How did you become a fan of polo?

Minnie Driver: My father was a player and I remember being a little girl going and watching the sport."

How did you decide what to wear?

MD: Dolce & Gabbana is a perfect fit for any occasion.

What do you think about the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic coming to LA?

RachelZoe: I've gone to many matches in the Hamptons and I've always wantedthem to bring polo back to L.A. Apart fromawards shows, you can wear jeans to almost any black tie event, like this one. HollywoodGlamor is everything, so the more reasons we have to dress up thehappier I am.

Are you dressing up for Halloween?

RZ: I'm the worst at Halloween is just isn't my forte. I willprobably pull something out of my closet that is a mix of Indian andFlapper. All I"m saying is lots of fringe, feathers and gloves.

Do you believe in luck?

BuzzAldrin: The world is run by probabilities. If you're in the right place,it's good luck. If you're in the wrong place, you have bad luck. Eitherway, I don't think we really influence the way luck works.
