Hannah Einbinder Is On Cloud 10 at Chanel’s Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner

When words fail trying to describe her first-ever Chanel event, Hannah Einbinder turns to Lady Gaga for inspiration. “I’m on a bus, club, ’nother club, ’nother club, plane, next place, no sleep, no fear type of schedule right now,” the Hacks star tells Vogue. “So I think my routine will be to do a little face mask and stick my head in a bucket of ice water to trigger my mammalian diving reflex.”

On Monday night, Einbinder joined the likes of Katie Holmes, Blake Lively, Colman Domingo, Robert de Niro, Trevor Noah, and Hari Nef at The Odeon for Chanel’s Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner. For the occasion, she wore a quilted black leather jacket over a flouncy white blouse and jacquard jeans embossed with the interlocking C logo and camellia pattern. “My fitting at Chanel was so lovely. They encouraged me to pick from a selection of beautiful pieces and this combination immediately stuck out to me,” she says. “It feels distinguished, cool, and so chic.”

While Einbinder has lots to celebrate (coming off of a lauded third season, Hacks was just renewed for a fourth at Max), the Tribeca Film Festival marks a particularly momentous occasion: her debut standup special, Everything Must Go. “I feel like it’s my birthday and also... my funeral?” she says. “Releasing the special feels like a birth, in that I’ve produced this thing outta thin air from inside my body (my brain) but then, it also feels like a death because, I’m mourning all this material I’ve known for so long that I’ll never ever do again. It’s a real comedy/tragedy paradox incarnate situation. C’est la vie I suppose!”

Einbinder, whose special premieres June 13 on Max, finds herself with some time to kill in New York City. While she’s practicing self-discipline with a few standup gigs (“getting back on the saddle there”), her other plans include “gorgeous dinner, Za,” and—in what seems like a very Ava Daniels move—urban foraging. “I spend a lot of time in various parks logging native plant varieties,” she says. “I once found some wild blackberries in Central Park! Ate ‘em right off the bush!”

In short, everything is coming up Einbinder. “I’m on Cloud 10,” she says. “That’s right. Beyond the 9th cloud.”
