Madonna Made a Surprise Showing at Stella McCartney’s Rainy Resort Presentation

Her face shielded with giant Robocop sunglasses, Madonna ducked in at the end of last night’s Stella McCartney resort presentation just after the models had changed out of the designer’s ruffled mullet dresses and marigold snakeskin-print coats. She picked her way through the rain-soaked crowd, huddling under tents in Patchin Place, a tiny cobblestone alley in the West Village that had been fitted with risers for the models and a hot pink replica of McCartney’s late mother’s 1970 Morris Mini, complete with a record player in the back.

After swilling a martini with McCartney while the other guests casually stalked her, Madonna went over and futzed with the Mini’s sound system. It was unclear whether she actually managed to change the song, but suddenly Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” came on and Frankie Rayder, Liv Tyler, and Stella McCartney all shouted along. It was an appropriately surreal close to the evening, which the Cut spent chatting about resortwear and Hillary Clinton’s new Twitter account with guests like Amy Poehler, Naomi Watts, and a paisley-poncho-ed Steven Tyler (yes, models still love him), over rose-flavored Popsicles in the rain.

Stella McCartney, Amy Poehler Did you just take a selfie with Stella McCartney? Yeah! I don’t know if the word “selfie” is a gross word to use, or lame, but I know nothing about technology. But the photo’s great! It’s high, and far away, and blurry, just how I like it. And half of my face is cut out, so it’s a great picture. Did you see that Hillary Clinton joined Twitter today? I saw that! With her cool picture, with her shades. And she had so many funny jokes in her description. Well, here’s a little secret: Hillary is hilarious. And so are the people who work with her.  Photo: Billy Farrell/BFANYC.com

Naomi Watts We’re seeing a lot of mullet dresses here. Are you into them? Oh, the mullet dress! That’s hilarious! I’m very into them, but I think I’m more into them on, you know, endless legs. I don’t know if that would work on me, per se, but Stella told me I’ve got to try it on, so she’s always worth listening to. I’ll give it a go, but I always think my legs are too short.

Steven Tyler and models What is this you’re wearing? Oh, it’s pashmina, from Singapore. We were just there with the band. We got stuff for our parents and daughters and I was going to give this to Liv and then I said, “No. I’m keeping it.” No, that’s not really true. I like your nails. [They have black stripes painted on them.] Oh, thanks. I've been doing this since the seventies. Photo: Billy Farrell/BFANYC.com

Hamish Bowles Any thoughts on who should take over at Coach once Reed Krakoff leaves? You know, there are so many brilliant behind-the-scenes people, first assistants. That’s the way that somebody like a Tom Ford or Nicolas Ghesquiere get a big break. So I think this relentless hunt for established names – it might be better to look at people behind the scenes.

Kimberly Chandler Did you see that Hillary Clinton joined Twitter today? No! How interesting. Are you on Twitter? No, I’m not on any social media. Why not? Just a personal choice. Just privacy reasons. I kind of like keeping it that way. You know, when you’re photographed a lot and you’re in magazines, I think that’s kind of enough. And we have small children and I don’t feel it’s necessary to give a play-by-play of what I’m doing. I don’t think people are that interested. Photo: David X Prutting/BFAnyc.com/BFA NYC
