About Last Night... The Lydia Hearst for Puma Launch Party and Artwalk Auction

The 60 Thompson Hotel was packed to the brim with glamourpusses galore at the Lydia Hearst for Puma launch party, hosted by both Lydia and PAPER Magazine. It was a madhouse up in there as everyone showed up to get a glimpse of Miss Hearst, who glimmered and glammed in a slivering, silvery number. The crazy thing is that every one of her handbags worked well with her outfit. There was, however, a moment of torment and torture for me, as Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem were at the hotel, but unavailable for photographs! But! I swear to God they were right in front of me looking like the superstars that they are.

Earlier that evening, a very different vibe pervaded the Artwalk (the late Peter Jennings’s charity that benefits the homeless) annual art auction at the Metropolitan Pavillion. As in past years, the room was packed with outstanding works of art. The hosts were still-gorgeous Richard Gere, his Pretty Woman/wife Carey Lowell and the hilarious, dapper Alec Baldwin.
