VANITIES

As the Sundance Film Festival prepares its final run in Park City before relocating to Boulder, film agents trade the 405 for snowcapped mountains in hopes of discovering this century's Blair Witch Project. Corporate's got your $6,900 festival pass covered, and you have a packed itinerary. Here's what to wear to greenlight a project, close a deal, or land your next role.

6 A.M.

Board a flight out of LAX at the crack of dawn, early bird brokers the deal! Land in Salt Lake City and slip into your Max Mara teddy coat for breakfast at Roadhouse Grill. Drop your Rimowa (filled with vitamin C packets and a stack of bad scripts) at the Waldorf Astoria Park City. Disappear your undereye circles (late-night doomscrolling about Tilly Norwood) with Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses.

12 P.M.

Roll calls on the way to Main & Sky to meet a former Golden Globe ambassador (the underemployed child of a '90s star) and prep for 9 billionth panel on the future of Al filmmaking at Adobe House (but it'll be good because the Technology Brothers are on it). Pop into Atticus for an iced matcha that's colder than the backside of Jupiter Bowl (this trip is short on ski runs).

6 P.M.

Almost time for tonight's big premiere at the Eccles Theater. Practice opening remarks while in hair and makeup (light on the product, arid mountain air works wonders). Email Proenza Schouler contact to thank them for your skirt. A quick refresh of Westman Atelier lipstick as you focus on your breath work in the Uber. Dodge the slush as you alight on the red carpet. You've made it, babe.

10 P.M.

Late dinner at 350 Main (in a shimmering Rabanne dress and earrings by Bulgari) with that producer who left you on read for uncomfortably long but then finally, finally responded. Add a Khaite leather bomber for pop-up surprise show at Tao. Gawk at the time on your mini Omega Aqua Terra as you make your way into The Cabin for a hard-earned nightcap.
