Hollywood’s Elite Gather at Iconic Polo Lounge for Annual Chanel Hosted Soiree
The elite of Hollywood converged at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge for an evening of celebration and camaraderie hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel. This year marked the 15th installment of their prestigious Pre-Oscar dinner, drawing a constellation of stars from across the entertainment spectrum. Notable attendees included Margot Robbie, Kristen Stewart, Lily-Rose Depp, America Ferrera, and Robert De Niro among a host of nominees, actors, musicians, directors, and influential figures in Hollywood, setting the stage for an evening underscored by intimacy and elegance.
The event underscored Chanel’s deep-rooted connection with the film industry, a relationship that traces back to the vision of Gabrielle Chanel herself. Recognizing early on the transformative impact of cinema, Chanel fostered enduring links with the film world, a legacy that has not only persisted but flourished under the luxury house’s guardianship. Today, Chanel’s engagement with cinema extends beyond the silver screen to nurture the industry’s emerging talents and safeguard its rich heritage, ensuring that Gabrielle Chanel’s innovative spirit and dedication to modernity continue to inspire.
The choice of the Polo Lounge for the gathering was emblematic, melding the old-world glamour of Los Angeles with Chanel’s timeless allure.
