Kate Hudson channeled romance and modern elegance in Valentino for the “Song Sung Blue” premiere in New York City on Thursday night alongside her mother Goldie Hawn and more. Styled by Sophie Lopez, the Oscar-nominated “Almost Famous” star wore a green gown with a plunging neckline and a silky sash at the waist, styling contrasting fabric with varying shades of lime and chartreuse. The dress flowed at the skirt, creating a small train effect that trailed Hudson as she walked the red carpet. Kate Hudson at the “Song Sung Blue” New York premiere on Dec. 11.

At Stars, the premise is simple. “Grab a glass, grab a bottle, chill out. Talk to your friend,” says Chase Sinzer of his new East Village wine bar. Sinzer and business partner Josh Pinsky, who first met working at Momofuku Ko, are opening Stars just two blocks away from their beloved wine-forward restaurants, Claud and Penny. Stars channels the creativity of downtown New York, and is named in homage to Frank Stella, whose work is featured prominently in the space. Stella’s two pieces, an enamel “No Smoking” sign that hangs in the bathroom and “Noguchi’s Okinawa Woodpecker, from the Exotic Bird Series” displayed in the main bar room, are both on loan from the family. “He was asked one time why he always does stars, and he’s like, it’s my name,” says Sinzer of the Stars-Stella connection. “The story of him being like, ‘this is my name, and I just wanna make stars,’ we were like — this is a wine bar. We just want it to be a great wine bar.” The Stars team has the credentials to make i...

On Wednesday night, Valentino just wanted to have fun for its DeVain handbag. The brand hosted a launch party for its newest bag at Upper East Side haunt Chez Fifi in New York, inviting an intimate crowd out for a night of games, drinks and a chance to toast the end of the year. Cocktails flowed throughout the cozy bi-level space as guests channeled their competitive spirit over various parlor games. Tommy Dorfman was tucked into a booth playing backgammon with Charlotte Lawrence and Hari Nef, while one booth over other guests were playing casual rounds of Connect 4. A nearby shuffleboard — with Valentino-branded pucks — provided a prime photo backdrop, and trays of tic-tac-toe and decks of cards were laid out on small cocktail tables throughout the room. The games were all courtesy of Valentino. Also courtesy of Valentino: the DeVain bags slung over almost everyone’s shoulders or tucked underneath their arms. “Valentino has always been one of my dream brands since I was a little girl,...
