Marina Ripa di Meana
Marina is, per Wikipedia -- the Burke's Peerage of lesser celebs, truly -- a personality "probably best known for her first two autobiographical books...which became bestsellers and generated two successful movies with the same titles, both starring Carol Alt." I feel that tells us all we need to know.
Also, yes. She is wearing a bird cage as a hat.
Marina Ripa di Meana's Head
Drink this grandeur in with your coffee, friends.
Isabelle Adriani and Vittorio Palazzi Trivelli
Isabelle Adriani is as lovely as ever -- that color is great on her -- although she might need to go up a size?
Carrie Fisher
What time is it? It's CAFTAN TIME.
Clotilde Courau
This is as French as you would hope from the woman in question. Did you know that, in addition of course to being a famous French actress, Clotilde is married to the grandson of the last King of Italy, and it was ESCANDELO when they wed, because of her LEFT WING VIEWS and also because she was pregnant? It all worked out, though: Valentino dressed her and they're still married, and once her husband's exile was lifted, he got to be on Italian Dancing With the Stars
Sandra Bullock
"Who, me??"
Yvonne Scio
Yvonne has been in a lot of things -- including the beautiful poem to filmic artistry Sorority Boys -- but I think it's most important to know that she appeared in the video for seminal 90s one-hit wonder "She's So High" by Tal Bachman. This dress is pretty enough.
Liliana Matthaeus
Judging from her Facebook page, Liliana is a lingerie model. This actually totally makes sense.
Sandra Bullock
"Hello, hello! Yes, I am still here!"
Haifa al-Mansour
Haifa al-Mansour is the first female Saudi director and you would probably be interested in reading this BBC article about her. It's fascinating and inspirational and a good reminder that there are a lot of things in the world more important than what people are wearing. That said. she also looks great, so: win-win.
George Clooney
"Also, in a segue back to the shallow matters, I am here!"
Fiammetta Cicogna
Fiammetta Cicogna is a TV personality in Italy (I think? Most of her Google results are in Italian. I'm sure some of the Italians in Fug Nation can weigh in in the comments), and I have decided she is the Italian Nancy O'Dell.
George and Sandy
"WE'RE still George and Sandy!"
Natalia Borges
I guess Natalia Borges is a model, and I know this is too much information.
Sandra Bullock
"BRING IT!"
Francesco Vezzoli; Franca Sozzani
She's the EIC of Italian Vogue. He's a celebrated artist, and in a losing battle with that shirt.
Golshifteh Farahani
Golshifteh Farahani is an Iranian actress (she lives in Paris now; there's a rumor that Iran doesn't want her back since she posed topless in a French magazine), and she looks fab here.
Virginie Ledoyen
This was a very cosmopolitan event. She also looks lovely.
George Clooney
I'm sure he's offering hugs, don't you think?
