Guests including Gwyneth Paltrow, Carey Mulligan, Sarah Jessica Parker, who nervously checked and re-checked their borrowed gems as they watched feather-wearing acrobats swing from the ceiling.

Gwyneth Paltrow Have you ever lost an important piece of jewelry? Oh god. I’ve left jewelry in hotel showers, but I’ve then remembered it! I had one earring once go down the sink. But it wasn’t irreplaceable. Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/2013 Getty Images

Are you rebelling against all the elaborate ‘20s-style makeup and hair? I just think it would be a little trite if I turned up in, you know. So I probably am trying to stay away from the era a little bit. Did you have any great bonding moments on set with Leonardo di Caprio? At one point we were filming a golf scene on the pontoon, and he took a swing and smacked me so hard around the neck. I was momentarily dazed. But it was like, so painful it was funny and we carried on filming! And he was so lovely. Actually, there were a couple of times I hurt myself and he was the first person to pick me up off the floor.

Any good stories of sneaking booze into places you’re not supposed to? Yes. At school, when I was fifteen, I snuck a can of Diamond White into the bathroom, drank half of it, and was paralytically drunk for a long time. What is Diamond White? I’ve never drunk it since. It’s like cider. [Glances at her publicist.] She’s trying to not let me say that, but that happened.   Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/2013 Getty Images

Kate Hudson Would you ever try the 1920s-style headband look? I don’t know if I’d go full headband, you know, like Andre Agassi style. But I love wearing headpieces, and anything goes down over the ear. I just bought a vintage that comes down over my face. Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/2013 Getty Images

Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martin Do you ever use your own clothes in your movie costumes? Yes, I use some of my own stuff always, because I’ll get desperate and remember I have a vintage feather cape at home, so I’ll run and get it. I’ve also got a lot of vintage jewelry. Jordan wears a brooch of mine on her hip in the movie. I always justify when I buy expensive pieces of costume jewelry that somehow it’s going to be a tax deduction because I’ll use it in a movie. It never works because I always lose the receipt, and forget to tell the accountant. Hopeless! --Catherine Martin, costume designer Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/2013 Getty Images

Doutzen Kroes Do you ever get nervous when you’re wearing lots of diamonds? Yes, I do. I really made sure this was closed [shows her bracelet]. But still! It’s a little scary. When I worked with Tiffany’s they always had security guards around to make sure I don’t run off with the jewelry. [Laughs] Do they have one with you tonight? No. No, they trust me now.

Hilary Rhoda Gatsby takes place during prohibition. Have you ever sneaked booze where it’s not allowed? Um, yeah, I mean. Well, yeah, no! Maybe when I wasn’t 21. But maybe I shouldn’t say that.
