Gwyneth Paltrow and “Valentino: The Last Emperor” Film Premiere, New York

Posted by fjgirls in March 18th, 2009

Valentino The Last Emperor had its premiere last night and a very fitting film it is for a female celebrity website. It was held in New York at the The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater, The Musuem of Modern Art and the film is a documentary about the fashion designer Valentino Garavani and this man when asked the question “What do women want” replies quite simply “They want to be beautiful !” With that kind of designer at his film premiere you can bet your last dollar the female stars will be coming out en masse.

Here’s a sample of who attended Anne Hathaway, Carolina Herrera, Claire Danes, Coco Rocha, Deborra-Lee Furness, Erin Fetherston, Gayle King, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joy Philbin, Karolina Kurkova, Lake Bell, Maria Menounos,Â Martha Stewart, Nicole Trunfio, Olivia, Olivia Chantecaille, Padma Lakshmi, Rachel Roy, Regis Philbin, Selita Ebanks, Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss and Tinsley Mortimer.

The Plot:

The film is a documentary about the legenedary fashion designer Valentino Garavani , his life, his works, his dreams and was shot on location behind closed doors in effect gaining you a true and not posed view of “the inner circle”Â getting you right into the fashion machine and the creative mind behind the legendary name. The film focuses strongly on his strong relationship with his business partner of 50 years Mr Giammetti.

His client list is world famous with a huge big name female star list following with the most famous from the past being Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The Verdict:

Very difficult to rate documentary style films but from what we have seen a lot of painstaking work has gone into making this documentary and gives a fascinating insight into the creative process and the creative mind and the industry that this mind is working in and has been for half a century.

Plenty of very privileged insider viewing into celebrity life and a female celebrity spotters delight with some of the most beautiful and famous women and stunning models, a luxurious and oppulent view of the world a sort of top down view you could say. Traditional film technicals are not really a consideration in relation to this type of film, its information, insight, accuracyÂ and how it is presented and put together that is important.Â Â Box office wise we are not so sure, it could go either way, but if you follow fashion and follow celebrities as obviously you do as you are reading this, then this looks to be essential viewing without a doubt! On that basis our Rating 3 and half stars out 5. A Quality production!

The Red Carpet Highlights:

Some highlights of the red carpet in our opinion with some stunning models making an appearance in the list with some shots taken from the after party.
