Last night at Mr. Chow, the Beverly Hills institution that’s been serving scallion pancakes and velvet chicken to the movie industry since 1974, W Editor in Chief Sara Moonves and Dior Creative Director Jonathan Anderson hosted a pre-Oscars celebration. With just three days left in a marathon awards season, an intimate evening full of potstickers and Lady Dior bags was a welcome interlude.
The first guest to arrive was Macaulay Culkin, followed by a rush of couples: Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse, Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Livingston, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola. Best friends Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner were inseparable, while Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Lila Moss stuck close together. Paris Hilton, who was using a pink flip phone, flitted around the room. Dior's Hollywood ambassadors were present—including Anya Taylor-Joy, Mia Goth, and Greta Lee—alongside the off-camera power brokers who make the industry run: CAA CEO Bryan Lourd and producer Amy Pascal. In pre-Erewhon Hollywood fashion, cigarettes were the most popular cocktail hour vice.
Dinner was classic Mr. Chow fare: chicken satay and shrimp with walnuts served in silver dishes. Much of the Marty Supreme contingent was on hand to celebrate the film's nine Oscar nominations, including director Josh Safdie (who shot W’s most recent cover), actress Odessa A’zion, co-writer Ronald Bronstein, costume designer Miyako Bellizzi, casting director Jennifer Vendetti, producer Eli Bush, and cinematographer Darius Khondji. Safdie spent much of the night chatting with W Editor at Large Lynn Hirshberg. Also in attendance: Oscar nominee Óliver Laxe, the director of Sirât, and Teyana Taylor, the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress for her role in One Battle After Another. Anjelica Huston, a 1986 Oscar winner, came out to celebrate the nominees.
After dinner, and with the help of a glass or two of Moët & Chandon, the night turned into a karaoke party. In a room filled with silver shamrock balloons—a nod to Dior's clover motif—the singer 070 Shake kicked off the singing. Love Story co-stars Dree Hemingway, Paul Anthony Kelly, and Grace Gummer sang Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," followed by EJAE of Kpop Demon Hunters belting Alicia Keys's "If I Ain't Got You." Safdie sang Sinatra, then Adwoa Aboah joined 070 Shake for a duet. The night ended with Charlize Theron closing down the dance floor.
