The Room Where It Happens |
On Saturday night, a crowd gathered outside the Chateau Marmont. It wasn’t to get in—there was an unsaid understanding between those on the Marmont Lane sidewalk that the Chateau, already known as one of the hardest doors in Hollywood, was firmly closed that night. The only way for it to open? If you were on a list carefully, cutthroating-ly curated by Giorgio Armani. Instead, the crowd was there to watch who was let in. Their dedication to people-watching paid off. SUV after SUV pulled up, dropping off names, each more glamorous than the last: Zoë Kravitz, Charli xcx, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Moore. With Armani’s late start time at 10 p.m, word quickly spread through the Academy crowd that the Chateau Marmont would be the unofficial after-party. While Los Angeles may have a reputation as a city where parties end at an early hour, Armani—like any good Italian—made sure that this one lasted well past the night and into the morning.
