"The Style Awards: We reveal the best-dressed celebrities
DailyMailUK, 11 Aug 2011
Fashion editor Laura Craik casts her eye over this summer's social scene and gives her verdict on the leading celebrity trend setters
Who are the most stylish women of the summer? That depends on who you ask.
Style is, of course, subjective, and everyone's an expert these days.
Think you dress pretty well and have an eye for a bargain in Zara? Why not be a stylist? everybody else is at it.
Gok Wan, a man who dresses like a car crash, has a prime-time TV show telling women what to wear, and they lap it up and kiss him in their gratitude.
So he must be doing something right. here's our pick of who dressed best this summer and tips on how to create their style on the high street.
We chose them for their individuality, and because they didn't use a stylist. Although I'm not so sure about Gwyneth: such a radical transformation must surely have had a little help along the way ..."

"NATALIA VODIANOVA, GIRL JUST WANNA HAVE FUN
Publiée Le Jeudi 11 Août 2011 à 16:00
Avec Natalia Vodianova, fini le temps où les tops gardaient le visage impassible et froid. C'est en effet tout sourire que la jeune femme a pris la pose lors de la soirée caritative Teenager Cancer Trust organisée à Ibiza lundi.
Pour l'occasion, ‘Baby Romy’ se la joue très petite fille avec une robe estivale blanche et rose bonbon à la forme régressive, qui met l'accent sur sa silhouette menue. Pour gagner un peu en glamour, Natalia associe à sa tenue une paire de ballerines façon mocassins dorée.
Fraîche, spontanée et adorablement lookée, Natalia Vodianova nous convainc."

Natalia Vodianova’s Model Philanthropy
Best known as the face of countless covers and ad campaigns, this mother of three has also devoted her life to a cause dear to her heart. Vodianova talks to D’NA about giving back to her native Russia and her first trip to the Middle East.
Why did you decide to establish a foundation?
I’ve been very fortunate in my life and career, and I wanted to make a positive contribution to my country. I founded the Naked Heart Foundation five years ago to give underprivileged children in Russia the gift of play. The idea came to me after the Beslan school siege in 2004.
The Naked Heart Foundation believes that playing is a necessity, not a luxury, and that every child should have a secure environment in which to play. To date the foundation has built 54 playgrounds in 38 Russian cities, including facilities in orphanages, rehabilitation centers and children’s hospitals. The need for such facilities in Russia is enormous, where more than 25% of the population has salaries below subsistence level. Furthermore, the authorities don’t provide play facilities in a country where the poorest are typically families with children.
Any future plans for the Naked Heart Foundation?
This year we’re launching a new program called Every Child Deserves to have a Family, providing essential support to families of children with special needs. This is a cause that’s particularly close to my heart. My sister Oksana has cerebral palsy, and I’ve experienced firsthand how little support there is for children with special needs in my country. Without support many of these kids are often abandoned in state institutions where they languish.
How do you generate funds for the foundation?
Our main fundraiser is the annual Love Ball. The first one was held in Moscow in 2008, and raised $5 million. It was the most successful charitable fundraiser in the history of Russian philanthropy.
This year’s fundraiser, The White Fairy Love Ball, was our most spectacular to date. It was held on July 6th at the couturier Valentino Garavani’s Chateau de Wideville in Paris and offered a rare opportunity to visit his archives. The gala dinner brought together some 450 friends of the foundation, including international celebrities from the worlds of fashion, business, film and art.
The highlight of the evening was a fashion show featuring more than 40 custom-designed dresses created by the world’s top designers, which were auctioned that same evening, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Naked Heart Foundation.
Have you ever visited the Middle East?
My first trip to the Middle East was last November, when the Naked Heart Foundation was invited to be a beneficiary of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Ball. That particular visit left a big impression on me. It was almost like landing on another planet, with Yas Island’s fantastical architecture and its multi-cultural inhabitants. Unfortunately it was a very short trip, and there was so much of the culture and country I still wanted to explore. I hope to visit again someday."

Clipping: Stella McCartney FW 2011-12 Ad Campaign
"Memo Pad: Stella McCartney Gets Social...
Posted WEDNESDAY JULY 27, 2011
From WWD ISSUE 07/27/2011
STELLA GETS SOCIAL: Stella McCartney is out to woo her customers with a ramped-up Web site, a second edition of her iPad app with personal touches and a first look at the new fall ad campaign by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
The designer has added 28 European countries to her e-commerce business which launched last year, and will preview the ad campaign, which stars Natalia Vodianova, on stellamccartney.com starting today. Her enhanced e-commerce site offers customers special functions such as a 'reserve in store' option that allows customers to set aside an order online and pick it up in the store of their choice. There is also a private in-store shopping service that customers can book online.
The new app features a gallery of images from the recent 'Linda McCartney, A Life in Photographs' show in London and accompanying book published earlier this year by Taschen. The images have been personally selected by McCartney. The app also includes a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the ad campaign for McCartney’s Team GB line of Olympics-inspired sportswear, backstage footage from the designer’s fall 2011 show in Paris, a preview of the 2012 resort collection and a 'making of' video of the dresses that McCartney created for the Met gala in May.
The fall campaign was shot in a private Oxfordshire home, in a topiary garden. The campaign will break in the September issues of magazines including British and American Vogue, Harpers Bazaar in the U.S. and Interview."

Clipping: Caperucita
“REPORTAJE: PERSONAJE
La Caperucita de Valentino
EUGENIADELATORRIENTE 17/07/2011
Sobrevivió vendiendo fruta en Rusia, pero la fortuna la convirtió en una de las modelos mejor pagadas. Natalia Vodianova no olvida y trabaja para mejorar la vida de los niños de su país.
Es difícil imaginar un entorno más propicio para rematar un cuento de hadas que el castillo de Valentino a las afueras de París. Allí, vestida de Caperucita Roja, Natalia Vodianova da vueltas en el centro de un corro formado por otras modelos con trajes de princesa. Suena la banda sonora de Eduardo Manostijeras y caen copos de nieve falsa. Está lejos, muy lejos, de su infancia como vendedora de fruta en las calles de Nizhny Novgorod.
‘Los niños saltaban, reían, jugaban... Ese sonido era exactamente el que quería conseguir con lo que hago’
En honor a su propia leyenda, la del gran anfitrión, Valentino le prestó a Vodianova su Château de Wideville para organizar una gala con la que recaudar fondos para su organización benéfica, The Naked Heart Foundation. La rusa, de 29 años, recibió a los 450 invitados en una carpa acicalada para la ocasión como un bosque nevado. The white fairy tale love ball (algo así como El baile del amor del cuento blanco) se celebró el 6 de julio en París y ejerció como extravagante cierre de la semana de la alta costura.
Vodianova creó la fundación en 2004 con un objetivo concreto: construir parques para que los niños rusos jueguen. El primero, a pocos metros de su antigua casa. En las calles que recorría de niña tratando de encontrar un rincón donde entretener a su hermana, Oksana, que comparte sus delicados rasgos, pero sufre parálisis cerebral. ‘Estaba muy nerviosa la noche anterior a la inauguración’, recuerda. ‘Pero vinieron muchísimos niños. Era como un ejército de hormigas, riendo, saltando y jugando. Ese sonido era exactamente lo que quería conseguir. Los niños necesitan jugar para escapar de la realidad’.
Como en los cuentos, la belleza y el amor permitieron a Vodianova escapar de la pobreza de su realidad infantil. Tenía 17 años cuando se trasladó a París. Algo más de una década después, es una de las pocas maniquíes cuya fama trasciende los límites de su profesión, al estilo de las supermodelos de los años noventa. Según Forbes, en el último lustro ha sido una de las 10 modelos que más dinero han ganado en el mundo. En París encontró fortuna y romance: el príncipe. Un aristócrata británico con el que se casó en noviembre de 2001, embarazada de su primer hijo. Tendría otros dos. Una familia de postal que, por desgracia, no ha podido escapar a los rigores de la realidad. Fueron felices y comieron perdices... durante 10 años, porque Natalia Vodianova y Justin Portman están en trámites de separación.
Tal vez por eso, y a pesar de la temática del baile, se muestra poco inclinada a cargar con el sambenito del cuento de hadas. ‘La mía es una historia de éxito, pero ha exigido mucho trabajo’, defiende. ‘En el fondo, esa es la moraleja siempre. Las cosas no suceden porque sí. Cenicienta, por ejemplo. Tuvo que trabajar y sufrir. La recompensa llega a los que mantienen su pureza a pesar de los golpes. Yo, como Cenicienta, trato de mantener mi integridad por encima de las desgracias. Cuando has tenido una infancia como la mía sabes que no hay ninguna razón para no sonreír cada día’.
Para conseguir que los niños rusos también sonrían, la fundación The Naked Heart se ha puesto como objetivo abrir 500 parques en Rusia. Las galas, en las que Natalia muestra su capacidad de convocatoria e influencia, son una de las herramientas para conseguir los fondos. En la que se celebró en Moscú en 2008 ya tuvo una presencia destacada Valentino. El diseñador italiano cedió el último vestido de su colección de despedida de la alta costura para que fuera subastado. ‘Colaboramos con Natalia por razones personales, pero no solamente’, explica Giancarlo Giammetti. El eterno socio de Valentino organizó un comité honorario para el evento que incluía a Madonna, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Tom Ford, Anne Hathaway y Elton John. En este cuento, todos los personajes son muy famosos. ‘Hemos visto que su proyecto es serio, que no es solo una forma de hacerse publicidad. Los parques se construyen y es asombroso que una mujer tan joven esté tan implicada en algo tan realista y cabal’, apunta Giammetti.
‘Valentino y Giancarlo han sido extremadamente generosos’, reconoce Vodianova. ‘Organizar la fiesta en su casa de París era una idea loca. Conozco a Valentino y sé que el castillo es como su hijo. No hay una brizna de yerba fuera de lugar. Pero, como decimos en Rusia, el que no pregunta no obtiene. Así que pregunté. Se dio cuenta de cuánto trabajo había dedicado a esto y me dijo que sí’.
Como él, más de 40 diseñadores y marcas aportaron diseños únicos: Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Versace, Nina Ricci, Stella McCartney, Burberry, Gucci, Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Balmain, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana... Nueve lotes se adquirieron en el evento. El resto se irá liquidando a través de Christie's. ‘La idea se me ocurrió mientras leía cuentos a mis hijos: que los mejores creadores idearan su vestido de princesa definitivo". Esos niños, Lucas, Neva y Viktor, tendrán una vida radicalmente distinta de la de su madre. "Les cuento las cosas tal y como son. Cuando mi hijo quiere dormir en mi cama y no en la suya, le explico que, cuando yo era como él, tener una cama propia era mi mayor aspiración, porque tuve que dormir con mi hermana hasta los 14 años. Le invito a que lo aprecie’.
‘Mi madre trabajó muy duro para criarnos’, continúa. ‘Se sacrificó por completo para que sus hijas sobrevivieran". El padre de Natalia desapareció pronto. Cuando Oksana nació, ella tenía seis años. 'Todo el mundo insistía en que mi madre abandonara a Oksana en una institución mental, pero ella se negó. Tenía cuatro trabajos a la vez, ninguno estable’.
Con su abuela, otra mujer testaruda y enérgica, aprendió Vodianova a coser. Una habilidad que curiosamente acabaría rentabilizando cuando su fama la convirtió en un personaje. En 2009 presentó su primera colaboración para Etam, acaba de lanzar una línea de zapatos y para el Love Ball creó un conjunto de joyas.
A pesar de las actividades paralelas, su ocupación fundamental –‘la que paga las facturas’- sigue siendo ser modelo. Pero el estatus que ha alcanzado le permite seleccionar sus trabajos. Aunque ocasionalmente vuelve a las pasarelas, se centra en editoriales o lucrativas campañas de publicidad. Su cartera de clientes es tan extensa como variopinta: de Gucci a L'Oréal, pasando por Calvin Klein, Givenchy y Guerlain. ‘Me gusta ser modelo’, argumenta. ‘Le da belleza y creatividad a mi vida. Amo esta industria’.
Natalia vive en Londres, desde donde dirige a las cinco personas que trabajan en la fundación en Moscú. El proyecto de los parques continúa, pero aspiran a abrir una nueva línea de trabajo más ambiciosa: apoyar a familias con niños con minusvalías psíquicas como su hermana. El objetivo es montar centros de información y atención médica para evitar que entreguen a los niños a instituciones mentales. ‘Esos orfanatos son campos de concentración’, asegura Vodianova. ‘He estado allí y te pone enfermo ver cómo viven allí sus últimos días. Porque no sobreviven. Es devastador. Es un sistema injusto: la pensión que recibe una familia por cada niño con necesidades especiales es de 100 libras. Los fondos que el Gobierno destina a una institución por cada niño alcanzan las 1.000. Esos lugares deberían cerrarse y apoyar a las familias para que pudieran sostener a sus hijos en casa. No se puede sobrevivir con 100 libras al mes’.
Vivir con 100 libras (unos 111 euros) al mes debe de resultar más exótico para los invitados a su gala que los cuentos infantiles que inspiran las creaciones a subasta. Como les dijo la actriz Anne Hathaway, que presentó el evento: ‘Disfrutad del País de las Maravillas. Estamos en un campo de sueños’.”

Clipping: The White Fairy Tale Love Ball, 06 July 2011
"From Natalia, With Love
Vodianova's Over-the-Top Evening Raises Over 2 Million Euros for the Naked Heart Foundation
The White Fairy Tale Love Ball had it all and then some. Cocktails at sunset on the grounds of Valentino's Chateau de Wideville, complete with a helicopter depositing guests in the meadow. A Caviar Kaspia-catered dinner of smoked salmon blinis and caviar-smothered baked potatoes and plenty of vodka to wash it all down. Fake snow-covered topiary and tables and a very real carved ice bar courtesy of Alexandre de Betak. A fashion show of one-of-a-kind dresses modeled by the cream of the catwalk. And Anne Hathaway for a mistress of ceremonies. Way after this reporter and many others called it a night, Bryan Ferry performed, fresh off Kate and Jamie's wedding. He was followed by a Groove Armada DJ set.
The evening's slow pace tested even the most philanthropic of souls, but the cause, Natalia Vodianova's Naked Heart Foundation, was worth it. Until now, the five-year-old charity's mission has been to build playgrounds in Vodianova's native Russia; going forward, it will focus on helping families and children with special needs. Over €2 million were raised; 'wallets encountered an enemy tonight', Hathaway joked, referring to the supermodel in her Valentino-designed Little Red Riding Hood dress. For many, the highlight of the evening was ranking the white and silver dresses that the dress code required. Stella Tennant's Chanel and Mariacarla Boscono's Givenchy both stood out. Daphne Guinness, always a law unto herself, came as an Alexander McQueen rainbow.

"Valentino Creates Breathtaking Red Gown For Natalia Vodianova
8:09 PM 7/7/2011 by Liana Diamond
The supermodel's White Fairy Tale Love Ball at the designer's French chateau raised over $3 million dollars for The Naked Heart Foundation.
On July 7, Anne Hathaway, Tommy Hilfiger and Christian Louboutin were among the guests streaming into the The White Fairy Tale Love Ball, a fundraiser thrown by model Natalia Vodianova. Fashion designer Valentino Garavani hosted the event at his Chateau de Wideville just outside of Paris.
The event benefited Vodianova’s Naked Heart Foundation, a nonprofit charity that creates playgrounds for children in Vodianova’ s mother country, Russia. Guests could bid on 45 dresses donated by a slew of international designers including Balmain, Balenciaga and Valentino himself. Vodianova also designed jewelry for the auction. The ball, an annual event since 2008, raised $3.3 million dollars for the charity.
The dress code for the fairy-tale themed event was elegant silver and white only. The guests entered into a spectacular ballroom while fake snow alighted upon them to create the feeling of a winter wonderland. The surprise of the evening? Valentino created a jaw-dropping floor-length bright red gown for Vodianova so she would be the only one in color. Vodianova also wore a stunning pearl and diamond tiara that she designed with friend and jeweler Yulia Fosty to look like snowflakes.
Jewelry designer and guest Loree Rodkin said: 'The fairy tale event was a big snow globe and of course it is hard for Natalia to look anything but spectacular and last night she was Red Riding Hood Valentino style', said Rodkin
At the end of the evening, the Vogue cover model proudly announced that the Naked Heart Foundation would take on a new mission to provide support centers for families with children that have special needs."

Hamishsphere: Natalia Vodianova's Fairy Tale Love Ball
by Hamish Bowles
Valentino Garavani’s seventeenth-century Château de Wideville is a castle out of a fairy tale. Arriving in the dimming light of ten o’clock, after a long summer’s day, there it lies at the bottom of a hill framed by allees of immemorial trees forming curtains of green that suggest a magical forest beyond. Takes the breath away every time.
It was the perfect setting for Natalia Vodianova’s Love Ball, The White Fairy Tale Love Ball. Guests were bidden to wear white or silver, and while not everyone got the memo (Daphne Guinness wore McQueen’s vintage rainbow-painted kimono for Givenchy couture, with full kabuki hair), the effect suggested Tsarist Saint Petersburg, when ladies wore spangled white gowns for the balls during the city’s White Nights. And of course, there was an embarrassment of beautiful Russian women swelling the ranks of pan-Atlantic lovelies, for Natalia’s charity raises funds to create playgrounds for children all across her country.
Natalia herself was ravishing in sweeping red taffeta created for her by the Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko, and a parure of diamond snowflakes and pearls that she designed with Yulia Fosty Jewellery House. (She later changed into a red tulle and feather dress designed by Valentino, with a tiara by Yulia Fosty Jewellery.)
In the converted stone barn, where guests congregated to find their table names (which were based on fairy-tale characters), Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda had curated ‘A Tale of Hoffman,’ an exquisite mini-exhibition of iconic black-and-white dresses by Valentino, based on the spectacular Vienna Secession–inspired collection that he showed in Rome in 1989 (I remember it as though it were yesterday, which is rather aging, is it not?). The effect resembled an Op Art take on the Cecil Beaton–designed Ascot scene in My Fair Lady: a very stylish prelude to the evening’s festivities.
Natalia had worked for more than two years to persuade 45 international designers to create unique pieces for the event, and she collaborated with Alexandre de Betak on the ravishing mise-en-scène. The giant marquee was transformed into a scene from Doctor Zhivago, lit by crystal chandeliers dusted with snow, and twined with ivy and fading winter leaves. The romantic set, with antique sleighs and conversational sofas and nineteenth-century antler chairs (draped in the patterned wool shawls that would prove useful accessories when chilly night finally fell), evoked the atmosphere of an aristocratic pre-Revolutionary dacha, all seemingly lost in a blizzard of faux snow. Perched on these seats in their frosty finery, Tatiana Santo Domingo (in a pale lace Philip Treacy mask), Eugenie Niarchos (in a diamond coronet), Coco Brandolini and Margherita Missoni (all dressed in current or vintage Valentino) looked like so many Chekhovian sisters.
De Betak also created the evocative videos, blending scenes of Anna Pavlova dancing with moody snowstorm moments from the movies. Caviar Kaspia provided the appropriate victuals—blinis and smoked salmon, baked potatoes and caviar, and wild raspberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Nestling in the frosted tablescape of turn-of-the-century wooden toys and matryoshka dolls were snow-globe party favors that could be shaken to reveal an image of Wideville.
Anne Hathaway, mistress of ceremonies, wore the exquisite white satin ruffled evening dress tipped with crystal teardrops that fans of Valentino: The Last Emperor will remember the designer’s team laboring over. ‘This is a night where dreams come true,’ she announced. ‘Take an exhale and let the magic in.’
Natalia gave a profoundly moving speech which explained at length her charity’s current and future missions—to provide imaginatively designed and inspiring play areas for children across Russia. As a child, Natalia admitted that ‘my life was all about survival . . . I didn’t have time to dream.’ Her beloved younger sister was born with developmental disabilities and as a result, her father left her mother, who worked four jobs to make ends meet and keep her challenged daughter at home, rather than consigning her to the uncertain care of state institutions. Natalia was so moved to discover on recent trips that the majority of children in state care today in her country still have families—and thus, her new goal, essentially, is to bring them back home.
Hathaway got it right when she said of Vodianova that ‘her drive, her humanity, has been a great lesson for us all.’ ‘I’m not going to rest until it happens,’ said Natalia, and no one in the room could doubt her words, for her ethereal looks—pre-Raphaelite flowers in her powdery hair, forget-me-not blue eyes in that heartstoppingly beautiful face—belie the tigress within.
The evening finally moved on to frocks and frivolity, with a spectacular fashion show styled by Giovanna Battaglia, and live and silent auctions to swell the Naked Heart Foundation’s coffers (110,000 euros alone for Valentino’s red tulle puffball worn by Vodianova, and nearly the same amount for Diane von Furstenberg’s starry midnight gown). Then the sand artist Xenia Simonova did her rather miraculous thing—sprinkling handfuls of sand onto a lightbox to produce ever-changing images that were projected onto screens at either end of the room. Sounds odd, but let me tell you, it was mesmerizing.
The agelessly compelling Bryan Ferry hit the stage and the room hit the dance floor (a circle of snow), Hathaway thanked Valentino for his fairy-tale generosity (and gave me a shout-out—’Hamish Bowwwwwwles! I saw you rocking out on the dance floor!’—friend for life?) and then Groove Armada kept the party going till . . . oh, I couldn’t possibly tell you.

"Special Report: Fashion
Fashion's Naked Heart
Published: July 7, 2011
PARIS — Like white birds against the green lawns, fashion’s high society migrated to Valentino’s chateau outside of Paris. The summer dress code of silver and white was designed to blend into the snowy scene, as the transparent tent under towering trees was opened for the White Fairy Tale Love Ball.
Natalia Vodianova, the Russian model and dedicated fund-raiser, made her entrance in a blood-red Valentino gown, the better to underscore her Naked Heart Foundation. The charity, dedicated to building playgrounds for impoverished children, mainly in Russia, raised €2.3 million, or $3.3 million, from the festivities Wednesday. And an emotional Ms. Vodianova announced that her charity would take on a second role: developing play places for special needs children like her own sister.
Couture designers blessed the event with dresses expressing their vision of a fairy tale, outfits worn by models on a the runway sprinkled with fake snow and later auctioned off.
Many of the designers had gathered earlier in the evening, first at the Élysée Palace, where President Nicolas Sarkozy presented the award of Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur to Anna Wintour, the editor of American Vogue; and afterward at the reception at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, where the lineup of guests was a who’s who of fashion.

REPORTAGE PHOTOS
Photos: Natalia Vodianova en princesse incandescente et Anne Hathaway en beauté olympienne pour une soirée sous le signe du luxe et de la charité!
Le top model russe et le couturier italien Valentino, ont fait sensation en organisant la magnifique soirée White Fairy Tale Love Ball... Un gala charitable, 100% mode et people, qui a permis de récolter des millions pour les enfants russe défavorisés.
Après nous avoir présenté un magnifique défilé Haute Couture , hier matin (mercredi 6 juillet), dans le cadre de la Fashion Week parisienne, c'est un bal de princesses que nous a réservé l'excellent couturier italien Valentino Garavani (plus connu sous le nom de Valentino), hier soir.
En effet, c'est une pluie de beautés chic et célèbres qui s'est abattue au coeur du château de Widewille, propriété privée de monsieur Valentino et de son compagnon et associé, Giancarlo Giammetti, à l'occasion de la soirée White Love Ball. Un événement luxueux, sélect et charitable, organisé par la magnifique Natalia Vodianova (récemment séparée de son homme) et le couturier lui-même, en faveur de l'association du top russe, Naked Heart, fondée en 2005, et qui a pour but de soutenir les enfants défavorisés de Russie, qui pour beaucoup vivent en dessous du seuil de pauvreté.
Bien évidemment, c'est tout le gratin de la mode et people en général, qui s'est donné rendez-vous afin de briller lors de ce fameux gala où les créations des plus grands designers ont été vendues aux enchères par la maison Christie's.
Natalia était simplement resplendissante au bras de Valentino, et est apparue dans deux différentes robes, créées bien sûr par le talentueux italien, toutes les deux époustouflantes et d'un rouge des plus ardents. La maîtresse de cérémonie, qui n'était autre que l'actrice américaine Anne Hathaway, a pour sa part fait sensation dans une sublime toilette blanche, également signée Valentino (cela va de soi), très olympienne et portée avec un neo-bandeau d'un chic fou.
Pas une soirée mode sans Anna Wintour, la rédactrice en chef du Vogue US, qui quelques heures auparavant a été faite Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, par Nicolas Sarkozy. Emmanuel Alt, à la tête du Vogue français était également de la partie, à l'instar de son prédécesseur, Carine Roitfeld, venue en compagnie de sa charmante fille, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.
Le top model Eva Herzigova, arrivée au bras de son compagnon, l'homme d'affaires Gregorio Marsiaj, nous en a mis elle aussi plein la vue dans son fourreau noir, qu'elle a accessoirisé de quelques plumes sur la tête, pour un résultat divin.
Olivia Palermo, qui a quant à elle écumé tous les fronts rows durant cette Fashion Week Haute Couture, était également conviée à cette luxueuse soirée, à laquelle elle a pleinement profité avec son chéri Johannes Huebl. Non loin d'elle c'est un trio de choc qui faisait le bonheur des photographes... Margherita Missoni, Tatiana Santo Domingo et Eugenie Niarchos !
Natalia Vodianova et Valentino ont aussi pu compter sur la présence de David Furnish, venu sans Elton John, mais aussi sur celle de Tommy Hilfiger et sa femme, Dee Ocleppo, ainsi que sur le célèbre chausseur Christian Louboutin et l'ancien mannequin Farida Khelfa.
En somme que du beau monde, pour une soirée magique qui a tout de même réussi à récolter 2,3 millions de dollars en une nuit.

Clipping: The White Fairy Tale Love Ball, 06 July 2011
"A White Fairy Tale
Anne Hathaway transform into a fairy for Valentino during the event ‘Love Ball’ supported by Natalia Vodianova and the famous designer
A midsummer night’s dream. The setting for the event was Château de Wideville, Valentino Garavani’s fairytale-like residence in the outskirts of Paris, where the couturier, together with model Natalia Vodianova, greeted the few selected guests, designers and celebrities, invited to the White Fairy Tale Love Ball.
The charity evening, set to benefit the Naked Heart Foundation (of which Vodianova is founder and president), had its star in Oscar-nominee Anne Hathaway, who arrived at the venue in a pure fairy-style gown, created by Valentino himself.
A not so casual choice: to help children in Russia, a selection of international designer, among which Riccardo Tisci, Calvin Klein e Olivier Theyskens, have created 45 gowns worthy of a fairytale for the NHF, which will be sold during an auction hosted by Christie's.
In attendance many known faces, like Giancarlo Giammetti, top models Eva Herzigova e Maria Carla Boscono, socialites Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, Margherita Missoni and Eugenie Niarchos, Tommy Hilfiger, businessman Matthew Freud and designer Philip Treacy.

"Fiesta en casa de Caperucita Roja
Un baile inspirado en los cuentos de hadas, en el castillo de Valentino cerca de París, cierra de forma no oficial la semana de la moda de la alta costura
EUGENIA DE LA TORRIENTE - París - 07/07/2011
‘Pero, Natalia, ¿es que no sabías que había que venir de blanco y plata?’, le preguntaba con una falsa sorpresa Mario Testino a la modelo Natalia Vodianova, vestida de color escarlata. Era, obviamente, una entrada que el fotógrafo tenía preparada. Todo el mundo sabía que Natalia, la estrella de la noche, acudiría vestida de Caperucita Roja a la gala que la rusa organizaba en el castillo de Valentino a las afueras de París. Una larga trenza y una tiara de perlas completaban su principesco atuendo.
La fantasía de los cuentos era el tema del baile cerraba de forma no oficial la semana de la moda de la alta costura. Bautizado como The White Tale Love Ball congregó a 450 invitados para recaudar fondos para la fundación de Vodianova. Además de los 1.500 euros que costaba sentarse en una de las mesas cubiertas de falsa escarcha, el dinero se obtenía a través de una subasta: Vodianova ha convencido a 45 diseñadores y marcas para que creen un vestido único inspirado en los cuentos infantiles. Anoche, desfilaron por una pasarela de espejo instalada en una carpa que recreaba un bosque nevado en pleno mes de julio. De ahí que la invitación pidiera a las mujeres que fueran vestidas de blanco y plata.
Un código que permitió a Carine Roitfeld, ex directora de la edición francesa de Vogue, lucir uno de los diseños de la última colección de Riccardo Tisci para Givenchy, mostrada el día anterior. Anne Hathaway, que presentó el evento con un exquisito Valentino vintage fue otra de las que le sacó buen partido a la premisa. Daphne Guiness aprovechó la unanimidad cromática para llamar la atención con una túnica multicolor de Alexander McQueen. El veterano diseñador, retirado desde 2008, cedió sus instalaciones y aprovechó para mostrar una selección de trajes de sus archivos. Diseños en blanco y negro entre los que estaba el traje que llevaba Julia Roberts cuando obtuvo un Oscar, pero que sobre todo pertenecían a la colección que en 1990 dedicó al artista austríaco Hans Hoffman. ‘Cuando Valentino nació, la elegancia ganó un campeón y nuestros bolsillos, una desgracia’, le dijo Hathaway desde el escenario.
El desfile, en el que participaron modelos como Stella Tennant, Karlie Kloss o Mariacarla Boscono fue el mejor momento de la velada. Lo cerró la propia Natalia con el diseño inspirado en Caperucita obra de Valentino Garavani. Durante la cena de salmón y caviar, servida por Caviar Kaspia, se pudo pujar en silencio por los vestidos. Después se saldaron nueve de los lotes. El que más dinero obtuvo, por supuesto, fue el traje de Garavani: 110.000 euros. Le siguieron otras dos piezas con cierto valor morboso: un Balmain firmado por Christophe Decarnin (55.000) y un Dior de John Galliano (45.000). Ambos diseñadores han sido despedidos en los últimos meses de las casas. Notas de melancolía en las que seguramente pocos pensaban cuando Brian Ferry empezó su actuación y las modelos tomaron al asalto la pista de espejo."
