Bouclé at the Bistro—Inside Chanel’s Annual Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner at the Odeon

On Monday, Chanel landed in New York to host its annual Tribeca Film Festival dinner, bringing together a crowd of fashion and Hollywood heavyweights. The event, which honors the creatives who contribute original artwork as Tribeca Film Festival prizes each year, was also attended by artists Glenn Ligon, Dustin Yellin, Jose Parla, and Anna Weyant.

This year, the dinner returned to the Odeon, where a greenhouse was built on West Broadway with urns of erupting greens and white blooms. Olivia Munn could be spotted at the bar with Rachel Antonoff and Hailey Benton Gates, while Mark Ronson got drinks for his wife, Grace Gummer, and her sister, Louisa Jacobson, nearby. Over steak frites, David Cross cracked jokes with Hannah Einbinder, as Blake Lively arrived in a pajama-like neoprene Chanel suit from the spring 2024 collection, featuring hand-drawn peonies that matched those on the table. “I may just go deep sea diving in it!” She joked.

Lively also shared her excitement about the upcoming release of her new film, It Ends With Us. “I think I put more into that movie than anything in my entire life, other than my family,” she told Vogue. “I am just so excited for people to see it. So many people connected with the book, and I think the film reaches out and grabs your heart in the same way.” Later, Lively leaned over the table to chat with Nacho Figueras and his wife, Delfina Blacquier, while Jude Law was perched on a banquette between festival co-founders Jane Rosenthal and Robert DeNiro.

As Colman Domingo, in high-waisted trousers by Willy Chavarria and a natty neckerchief, strode by, the nearest table audibly swooned. “It’s all things from my closet,” he said. “I wanted to feel like me tonight.” As the evening itself supports the Artist Awards Program for the 19th year, it was fitting that Domingo was attending in support of his new film Sing Sing, which he both produces and stars in. “This is a film about rehabilitation for the arts program at Sing Sing Prison and really about how art saves lives,” he said.

The dinner was as much a celebration of the arts as it was a starry spectacle, however. As Jane Rosenthal, the festival’s founder, declared when raising a toast: “It’s always wonderful to be in a room filled with amazing artists and amazing fashion—and Chanel has supported arts and culture for almost two decades with Tribeca, so for that, we are very grateful.”
