Last night, the likes of Barbara Bush, Eva Amurri, and Tatiana Santo Domingo gathered at the shoebox-sized West Village boîte The Little Owl to pay homage to Alberta Ferretti. Fresh off her Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti show, the First Lady of Chiffon entertained guests with meatball sliders, Champagne, and Marlboro Lights—which, due to the presence of moms-to-be Alexis Bryan and Kathryn Neale Shaffer—were courteously smoked outside. It was an evening that had all a girl-about-town could ask for: pretty frocks, yummy food, nicotine…the only thing in short supply was testosterone. "I'm like one of two dudes here," lamented Sam Shaffer.
Conversation topics ran a juicy gamut from sex addiction to the Ibiza drug scene to autistic pets. Robin Williams' seriously adorable daughter, Zelda—having obviously inherited the family funny gene—entertained pals with spot-on Legally Blonde impressions. "This was my first fashion show," said the wide-eyed 19-year-old, who'd flown out from L.A. for the occasion. And? "It was fan-freakin'-tastic!"
