Chanel embellishes the past before defining vision for the future
The storied hotel, built in the 16th century for a wealthy cardinal (whoever the new pope is might like to take note), played host to 900 of Chanel's most valuable clients.

Nicola Peltz copies lookalike mother-in-law Victoria Beckham as she poses in hotel bathrobe and hair towel - after Posh Spice snubbed Brooklyn from family post amid family feud
Nicola Peltz appeared to copy her lookalike mother-in-law Victoria Beckham in recent Instagram snaps, she posted on Thursday, amid the family's feud. The model, 30, slipped into a white hotel bathrobe and hair towel as she posed for photos, similar to Victoria's post in June. It's not the first time Nicola has taken inspiration from her famous mother-in-law, 51, as she's previously been seen mirroring the footstep's of the fashion icon. As far back as February Nicola paid homage to Victoria as she stepped out in a stylish Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket, which was the exact same one worn by the fashion designer, 49, in 2001. Nicola's post came hours after Victoria snubbed her son Brooklyn from her family tribute to his grandad Ted. The eldest son, 26, is currently locked in a bitter feud with his parents, with him and his wife Nicola being pitted against the rest of the family. Brooklyn avoided his father's 50th birthday party last month and remained quiet on social media, however he did post a birthday tribute to his sister Harper. Brooklyn shared a photo with David's dad Ted, he wished him well writing: 'Happy birthday grandad. I love you xx.' Meanwhile back home Victoria honoured her father-in-law with a family snap that did not include her eldest son and his wife. She captioned the post: 'Happy birthday @tedbeckham kisses' before going on to tag sons Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, as well as daughter Harper, 14. In another update, Brooklyn embraced his billionaire father-in-law in snaps from the family getaway to St Tropez. He enjoyed a friendly beer with Nelson Peltz, 83, before packing on the PDA with wife Nicola onboard the businessman's superyacht. Amid the trip the couple enjoyed a swanky lunch with Brooklyn's godfather Elton John, who sources revealed planned the dinner in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud. Nicola shared a slew of final holiday snaps from the couple's lavish trip before heading home to the US. In a snap shared to her Instagram, Nicola threw her arms around Brooklyn's neck as they smooched while watching a sunset. She later stunned in a black mini dress as she strutted her stuff on the dance floor before enjoying a lavish fireworks display. The heiress later showcased her figure as she headed ashore and turned heads in a Chanel crop top which she teamed with a fluffy shrug, despite the hot weather. Brooklyn later confirmed the lavish holiday was over as he shared a snap of himself enjoying a huge pizza as the couple arrived in NYC. Sir Elton, who has been friends with David and Victoria Beckham for over 30 years, treated Brooklyn and Nicola to food at fancy La Guerite beach club in the South of France. According to The Sun, Sir Elton 'briefly' spoke about the family's feud in the hope Brooklyn would patch things up with his parents. A source said: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'There is no sidetaking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. Amid their trip the couple enjoyed a swanky lunch with Brooklyn's godfather Elton John, who sources revealed planned the dinner in a desperate attempt to calm the family's feud 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - to patch things up.' The source added Sir Elton is 'adamant he doesn't want to stick his nose in' the feud, he just simply 'wants peace'. MailOnline contacted the Beckham's and Elton's representatives for comment. Nicola couldn't wipe the smile off her face during the lunch as she sipped on Aperol Spritz at the fancy beach club. Sir Elton is also said to have generously picked up the entire bill, after dining on the restaurant's signature lobster linguine which comes in at an eye-watering £190. David affectionately calls the musician 'Uncle Elton' after becoming friends in his football heyday. Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999 but suffering a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children's christenings. Meanwhile Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to say goodbye to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing. It comes after Nicola doubled down on the family feud as she declared Brooklyn 'her everything' on Instagram last week during their luxury St Tropez trip. Nicola took to her Instagram Stories with snaps of the pair embracing during their sun-soaked getaway on board her billionaire father's yacht in St Tropez. The couple only had eyes for each other as she wrapped her arms around his neck while he pulled her in close. She wore a bikini top and skimpy white shorts while her husband shielded his eyes behind shades and a baseball cap and cheekily squeezed her bottom. Nicola captioned the post: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' with Brooklyn later resharing it with his followers. Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. One throwback snap showed father and son playing pool as the footballer joked his dad could still not beat him Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this month but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it – which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.

Lisa Vanderpump hits back at Scheana Shay's TV exploitation accusation
Lisa Vanderpump has responded to Scheana Shay's claim that she exploited her for fame and monetary gain. On Tuesday the 64-year-old restaurateur was stopped by TMZ in Los Angeles, telling the outlet she 'doesn't care' what 40-year-old Scheana has to say about her. Shay worked for Vanderpump on the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules for 11 seasons, and is accusing the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star of 'gaslighting' her ahead of the release of her memoir My Good Side. 'Guess what? I don't care what she says — how about that?' Vanderpump mouthed off earlier this week. 'Important things are what matter to me, not her bulls**t claims,' the UK native hit back, adding that she was more concerned with Ozzy Osbourne 's death that day. On Tuesday the 64-year-old restaurateur was stopped by TMZ in Los Angeles, telling the outlet she 'doesn't care' what 40-year-old Scheana has to say about her; Shay pictured July 22 'That's the saddest thing,' she lamented while jumping into a car en route of her next destination. While Lisa was out and about on the west coast, Scheana was promoting her forthcoming book in New York City. She wore a baby blue tweed Chanel blazer and shorts combo while stopping by SiriusXM studios. Back in January, the mom-of-one announced her new book and said readers could expect 'tea' on Vanderpump. The literary effort will feature candid information about her 2006 affair with Eddie Cibrian — which occurred while he was married to Brandi Glanville. Scheana alleges in the pages of My Good Side that Lisa knew more about the situation than she initially disclosed. 'We all saw it play out on the show when I went up to her and she acts shocked that I was working her party with this guy's ex-wife, who I used to date because I didn't know he was married,' she told Us Weekly last week. The Bravo star claims Vanderpump purposefully put her and Glanville together on screen in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode in order to 'launch her TV empire' — which includes spinoff shows Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Villa. Shay continued, 'Up until about six months ago, that was the truth that I knew because that's what she told me.' She added, 'Now, I feel like she low-key used my real-life pain to launch her TV empire — and what an empire she has.' Shay said it's difficult for her to believe that Lisa had no knowledge of the affair. 'I vividly remember when photos leaked of Eddie and [me], there was a magazine being passed around the kitchen at Villa Blanca,' she said in reference to Vanderpump's former restaurant. 'She gaslit me about it for a decade instead of just coming to me in the beginning. She doesn't make mistakes. She makes moves and then calls them coincidences,' the podcaster accused. Scheana said she wishes Lisa had been 'transparent' with her and admitted she 'always looked up to' the entrepreneur. 'I've always admired her. Now I'm like, "Did I admire her out of fear?" I guess I would've just like to have agency in my own story,' she shared.
