TRIBECA: One thousand votive candles greeted guests as they climbed the steps of the State Supreme Court building in Lower Manhattan for cocktails on the portico at V.F's spectacular, star-studded party, co-hosted by Robert De Niro, for the brand-new Tribeca Film Festival. In the pillared rotunda, New York's artistic and social elite intersected with movie types over a three-course dinner created by chef Geoffrey Zakarian of the restaurant Town. Among the 260 in attendance were Martha Stewart, Julian Schnabel, Hilary Swank, Martin Scorsese, Sheryl Crow, and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

CANNES: For the second year in a row, VF. traveled to Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival with a dinner under the stars and next to the sea at the Hotel du Cap, Eden-Roc. After dining on lobster at tables decked with candles and iceberg roses, and sipping Bellinis by the illuminated "Vanity Fair" pool, the internationally fabulous invitees-among them Giorgio Armani, Christina Ricci, Pierce Brosnan, Juliette Binoche, Mick Jogger, Paul Allen, Milla Jovovich, Adam SandIer, and Sting-danced into the night to the sounds of British D.J. Steve Lewis.
