Marc Jacobs, the subject of Coppola\u2019s new documentary Marc by Sofia<\/a>, was proud as punch, as was designer Anna Sui. The latter is not only a longtime friend, she also created pieces for the aforementioned Priscilla biopic. When Coppola\u2019s social media-famous daughters Romy and Cosima Croquette spotted Jacobs and Sui, they immediately embraced them. As Coppola herself took to the red carpet, the stylish doppelg\u00e4nger duo\u2014and their dad, Thomas Mars\u2014eagerly snapped videos of her.<\/p>\n

Aughts heartthrob Josh Hartnett, who would later take to the stage to give remarks about working with Coppola, told Vogue: \u201cSofia taught me how to be bold. I don\u2019t know if you know this, but she wrote the script for The Virgin Suicides after the producers told her not to. She was not known in Hollywood at the time and she hadn\u2019t directed anything or written anything that had been produced, so it was a shot in the dark. She was basically just someone who loved the book and felt compelled to write it for the screen. And once the producers read it, they thought it was beautiful and hired her to direct.\u201d Further illustrating how involved she is as a director, he laughed at a memory that she even helped him cut his wig for the seminal 1999 film.<\/p>\n

After guests, including Rose Byrne and Olivia Wilde, caught up over cocktails, they ascended the museum\u2019s candlelit staircases for the gala\u2019s seated dinner and program. Elle Fanning\u2014who first worked with Coppola when she was 11-years-old\u2014regaled the room with tales about how the director defined girlhood for her. \u201cI like to say, while I didn\u2019t go to college, I went to New Orleans with Sofia, Kirsten Dunst, and Nicole Kidman [for The Beguiled], and it was there that Sofia shaped me at a another formative period of my life when I was 18.\u201d<\/p>\n

The night continued with speeches from Bill Murray, Coppola\u2019s brother Roman Coppola, and her cousin, Jason Schwartzman, as well as a pre-recorded video from her longtime muse Kirsten Dunst. David Letterman also announced a surprise musical performance by Elvis Costello\u2014an artist whom Sofia and Roman listened to religiously while growing up\u2014while pink trays of sweet petite fours did the rounds. A cinematic tribute, indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marc Jacobs, the subject of Coppola\u2019s new documentary Marc by Sofia, was proud as punch, as was designer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,10855],"class_list":["post-131417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-vogue-parties"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
