It takes a lot to get New Yorkers out on a Monday evening — and an unseasonably chilly one at that. But for Chanel’s annual Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner, the stars always show up and show out, dreariness be damned.
This year, the Odeon served as the backdrop for Chanel’s fête, its 18th, which drew a who’s who of Hollywood and downtown darlings. In attendance were actors like Blake Lively and Robert De Niro, musicians such as Role Model and Lily Allen, and directors ranging from Sofia Coppola to Celine Song — all of whom were dressed in Chanel, naturally.
But the crowd didn’t gather just to feast on steak frites and drink martinis. (Though there was plenty of that, too.) The evening celebrated the artists behind the Tribeca Festival’s Artist Awards Program, a collaboration between Tribeca and Chanel dating back to 2005. The initiative invites leading visual artists to donate original works, which are then awarded to filmmakers and displayed at the Festival Hub at Spring Studios.
This year’s lineup featured Alteronce Gumby, Faith Wilding, Jane Dickson, Jeffrey Meris, Lauren Halsey, Marilyn Minter, Naudline Pierre, Raúl de Nieves, Simphiwe Ndzube, and Tuan Andrew Nguyen. (Previous award winner JR also made a cameo of sorts — manning the photo booth and snapping cheeky black-and-whites of Lively, Joe Jonas, and others.)

As the night wore on, It girls like The Bear’s Molly Gordon, Euphoria star Maude Apatow, The Studio’s Chase Sui Wonders, and Bottoms breakout Havana Rose Liu mingled in the Odeon’s hallowed booths before being offered one final flourish: waiters emerging with trays of old-school sundaes — a Hollywood ending in Tribeca if there ever was one.
