So, I’m also reporting for ELLE Magazine and ELLE.com now (!), and my first fabulous gig was at last night’s star-studded Women in Hollywood Awards held at the Four Seasons Hotel (a mere two blocks away from my apartment!)
The red carpet was packed to the gills, and just to paint a picture of what it’s really like to be press at these things, I was mercifully wedged diagonally between two camera crews and teetered in heels for about two hours, shifting my weight from right to left every two seconds and ducking either way so as not to get in anyone’s shot, all the while, wrangling celebs, clutching both a microphone and a tape recorder and conducting interviews with stars as effortlessly as possible. In short, it was madness–but well worth it.
So who was there? Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Anne Hathaway, Isla Fisher, Sigourney Weaver, Chelsea Handler, Eva Mendes, Jane Fonda, Kate Beckinsale, Sheryl Crow, Courteney Cox, Angie Harmon, Kat Dennings, Kerry Washington and Jennie Garth, to name a few.
Here’s a tiny re-cap: Halle truly is out-of-this-world beautiful, and such a sweet woman; Nicole Kidman was gracious and elegant per usual, and Anne Hathaway (who wore a Marc Jacobs design straight off the runway) was beyond-her-years poised, polished and very articulate. Angie Harmon, always a gracious star to interview, was absolutely gorgeous in a gunmetal grey Dolce and Gabbana Grecian gown, that skimmed her tiny belly bump in the most endearingly adorable way. Perrey Reeves wore a frothy Monique Lhuiller cocktail dress and paired it with a not-yet-released Anya Hindmarch for Target clutch! She doesn’t carry leather bags, and thought this would be the perfect time to give the highly-anticipated line a little PR boost. Good thinkin, girlfriend. 😉
Due to my above-mentioned precarious situation, I didn’t have a free hand (or a free second) to snap any great candids of all of these dazzling dames, but here’s a few!
