If there’s one thing Paris isn’t short on during couture, it’s black-tie events. From amfAR to the Vogue Paris Foundation gala, the week has been a whirlwind of resplendent cocktails and dinners. And what better way to close the week than with a grand fete at the Foundation Louis Vuitton? Natalia Vodianova moved her Love Ball to the Frank Gehry–designed complex and played host to a fashionable crew including Kanye West, Riccardo Tisci, and Christian Louboutin.
After a performance from Bolshoi dancers clad in Ulyana Sergeenko costumes, pretty young things such as Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, Eugenie Niarchos, Gaia Repossi, and Lauren Santo Domingo took their seats for the sumptuous dinner. Following the meal was a live auction, presided over by Oliver Barker of Sotheby’s Europe, where guests including Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl, Sofía Sanchez de Betak and Alexandre de Betak, and newlyweds Giovanna Battaglia and Oscar Engelbert had the opportunity to snatch up prized artworks curated by Bernard Arnault’s personal advisor. And with all funds benefiting Vodianova’s mission of supporting special needs children, the room was filled with love . . . and style.
