Thanks to Francoise Dumas and Anne Roustang, who had the kindness of inviting me (and who are the best organisers in Paris), tonight I was able to enter the magical world of Cartier.
Only four hundred guests. from all corners of the world: Mónica Bellucci, Joely Richardson (stunning in an Alexander McQueen), Kristin Scott Thomas, Albert de Monaco, Juliette Binoche, the dukes of Cadaval, Hubert de Givenchy (still so good looking), former President of France Valerie Giscard d'Estaing, ambassadors and also Nick Taylor, from Duran Duran. All of them, and many more, were chosen to do a first tour around this incredible exhibition of the best and most iconic pieces of the legendary French jewellers.
My eyes could not stand such overwhelming beauty… The tiaras that belonged to queens and princesas, the necklaces specially done to the Maharaja of Patiala, Liz Taylor's pieces and those from the Duchess of Windsor (the flamingo brooch!!!). I had to return several times to the cabinets to appreciate the details and the magnificent work of craftmanship.
The organization of the Gala was also excellent. Two very long tables, for two-hundred guests each and a menu designed by star-chef Jean-Pierre Vigato.
Everything was impeccable. I was happy to bump into Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and her daughter Cosima, who was wearing an incredible red dress designed by her mother.
As gift, we received the catalog of the exhibit, which will be open till February 16th (totally worth it) and a beautiful foulard which I'll use to wrap my loyal computer when travelling…
