Sofia Coppola's Fashionable Premiere for Somewhere

 
It's a movie about a Hollywood playboy surprised with an extended visit from his daughter at the glamorous Chateau Marmont.  It's no surprise lots of style was on hand for the NYC premiere of Sofia Coppola's new movie "Somewhere".

The director was clad in an understated sequined knit vest from Louis Vuitton.  Molly Shannon wore Diane Von Furstenburg.  Stars Elle Fanning wore an embossed suede and gold Rodarte dress.  Parker Posey wore a pleated chiffon blouse.  Multi-tasker James Franco arrived in collegiate-chic.

Do male movie stars care as much about their red carpet style as their female counterparts?  The film's star Stephen Dorff described his outfit, "This is made by Tom Ford. He has been so gracious to make all my suits for the premieres, starting with Venice.  He made me a beautiful tuxedo.  You work with Sofia, you get all these fancy clothes!"

Indeed, Ms. Coppola's down-to-earth personality certainly doesn't keep her from having uber-chic friends. Fashion designer Anna Sui attended the premiere, while designer Marc Jacobs showed up for the after-party in Comme des garcons.
