Backstage after the show, as Ellen Pompeo and Fabiola Beracasa discussed their favorite Dior looks while waiting to congratulate the designer, a still visibly trembling Milana put on a brave face despite her tears.
"My body was breaking!" she exclaimed. "It was the first time I ever fell. But everyone falls, right?"
CAMEO APPEARANCE: Azzedine Alaïa may be joining festival-ites on the red carpet at Cannes next week for the premiere of Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." In the movie, the elusive designer, a close friend of Schnabel, can be spotted dressing a model on a podium in his hallowed headquarters in Paris.
AT YOUR SERVICE: Designer Tadashi Shoji's decision to outfit the newly revamped Ivy Hotel's employees was no small undertaking. For starters, the staff is 400 strong. When all was said and done, he came up with 30 different looks, including a navy pantsuit with a plunging V-neck for bartenders, a lace-trimmed minidress for cocktail waitresses and a fitted sleeveless dress and jacket for concierges. The 159-room San Diego spread has been spruced up at a cost of $65 million and an opening party is planned for May 24. But Tadashi already has turned his attention to other things — namely the May 28 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City, where he will suit up contestants in his eveningwear.
GEORGE AND GIORGIO: While the summer movie lineup may offer plenty of action, fashion, for the most part, is more fantastical than fabulous: webbed suits, pirate blouses and oversized ogre sacks. But a little latter-day Rat Packer style is set to seep into the blockbuster onslaught courtesy of "Ocean's Thirteen" and Giorgio Armani. The Italian designer collaborated with Hollywood costume designer Louise Frogley to create the on-screen looks for George Clooney's Danny Ocean in the third installment of the heist franchise. Clooney, a regular front-rower at Armani shows and a friend of the designer, said in a statement that the idea of the collaboration came about last summer during a dinner at his Lake Como villa, where both Armani and Ocean's producer, Jerry Weintraub, were guests. Frogley selected a series of clean, tailored looks from Armani's Hand-Made-to-Measure collection, a category that didn't exist 27 years ago when Armani made his first and most memorable foray into film, outfitting Richard Gere in the Eighties' "American Gigolo." Three decades later, Armani is clearly still enjoying his Hollywood connection. "Dressing George Clooney is every designer's dream," Armani stated. "He inspires me, as Cary Grant did a generation ago." "Ocean's Thirteen" opens June 8.
