Party Pics: Alexa Chung, Kiernan Shipka, and More Chanel Muses Romp Among the Azaleas

Chanel hosted a Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner last night, which was basically just an excuse to get all their favorite beautiful people to gussy up in new spring outfits and pose against a backdrop of pink azaleas. The usual suspects like Alexa Chung, Giovanna Battaglia, and Jen Brill were in attendance, as well as newcomer Kiernan Shipka, who is now officially fashion’s next Fanning, and will almost certainly make the rounds at shows next season. Last but not least, behold the ubiquitous Olivier Zahm, who would follow this crowd through azalea bushes and across hot coals if need be.

A major topic of discussion for the evening was Justin Bieber’s Chanel ski mask, which he posted on Instagram last week (and captioned “Channel”). Unsurprisingly, Harry Brant was into it. “It’s fancy. I want one. People at Dolce tell me we’re the same size, so maybe I can borrow it!” he exclaimed. Click through our slideshow to see all the guests, as well as a version of that infamous Hula-Hoop bag, which appeared on the forearm of Sofia Sanchez Barrenechea. (Sidenote: should you need extra convincing to get an inordinately expensive and excruciating facial, zoom in on everyone’s dewy skin. Particularly Michael Avedon’s, as he appears to be wearing glitter gel on his eyebrows.)

I don't know if I get to keep it, though. I'd wear it every day if I could. Are you into Justin Bieber? I am! Did you see the picture of him in the Chanel face mask? Oh wow. I haven't seen this. He looks like a robber, but with the Chanel thing. And a fedora to top it off. I guess when you have the opportunity to wear a Chanel face mask, then you might as well go for it. If you got the opportunity, where would you wear it? I won't be robbing houses anytime soon, so I guess I don't know! It would have to be somewhere funky, somwhere that would really accept the face mask. Photo: Rabbani and Solimene Photography/2013 Rabbani and Solimene Photography

Leigh Lezark What was the first Chanel item you ever owned? My first and favorite was the gun heels. I love them, and they're sitting on my shelf, but they never get worn. How would you describe your style as a kid? Blossom. Like with the denim hat and all.  Photo: Matteo Prandoni/BFAnyc.com/BFA NYC

Alexa Chung What do you think of Bieber's Chanel knit mask? [Chung looks at the picture.] Oh wow. A balaclava. Is that for snowboarding? I think it was for a costume. I always think it's weird when celebrities try and hide their faces. You're tweeting pictures of yourself, but then you don't want to be photographed? It's very confusing.  Photo: Matteo Prandoni/BFAnyc.com/BFA NYC

Harry Brant What is your opinion on Chanel face masks? I love face masks. My idea of a fun Saturday night is me, myself, and I, alone in my apartment with a face mask. Like the one Justin Bieber wore? Oh wait! Oh god, I thought you meant like an actual skin mask. Oh my. Do you think he pulls it off? Yeah, I think he pulls it off. I've actually never seen this before. It's fancy. I want one. People at Dolce tell me we're the same size, so maybe I can borrow it! Photo: Matteo Prandoni/BFAnyc.com/BFA NYC

Dree Hemingway You're one of the few people wearing flats tonight. How come? I actually got injured the other day on a photo shoot, and I have a cut on my leg, so it's hard to walk in heels. I had a pair of Louboutins on as I was leaving the house, and I was like, this is just not going to work tonight. Photo: Matteo Prandoni/BFAnyc.com/BFA NYC
