Best and WORST dressed celebs at Sofia Coppola's glam Bal d'Ete Paris fashion event revealed
Filmmaker Sofia Coppola is the artistic director of the posh event, that takes place inside the famous French museum, which is currently showing an exhibition dedicated to Paul Poiret, a key figure in Parisian Haute Couture.
The black tie event acts as a fundraiser, per Vogue, with the proceeds from the evening going towards the upcoming exhibitions at the museum, including 1925–2025: One Hundred Years of Art Deco.
The estimated proceeds from the 300-person gathering are estimated to be $2.8 million, the outlet reported.
Coppola's goal was 'to keep the theme of a summer ball and bring the garden inside,' she told Vogue, as she took inspiration from a photograph of Countess Jacqueline de Ribes surrounded by tons of colorful florals.
The gathering included a number of A-listers like Chanel ambassadors Keira Knightley and Kirsten Dunst, along with designers like Zac Posen, Christian Louboutin, and Giambattista Valli.
The fête also featured a live performance by South African opera star Pretty Yende.
Of course, the celebrities brought the drama to this event, and FEMAIL has the definitive ranking of the night's best and worst dressed.
BEST DRESSED
Model Camille Rowe really went for the Garden-party look as she donned a stunning, sheer Chanel gown from their pre-Fall 2011 collection. The gown was quite unique, as it featured white, red and blue embroidered florals all over it, along with sheer sleeves. She paired a gray slip underneath, topping it all off with a pair of pumps
Gorgeous in gold! One of France's most influential content creators, Lena Mahfouf, stunned in a gold-and-black, checkered printed dress by Vivenne Westwood. The gown featured a corset bodice. She topped things off with a simple tennis necklace and bold earrings, wearing a fun updo with a side part and curl left in front
Keeping it interesting! Designer Christian Louboutin wore a fitted black suit that featured orange and red feathers along the sleeves. Underneath, he wore a white button-down shirt, topped off with a maroon bowtie, sunglasses and a pair of black suede loafers with silver detailing
WORST DRESSED
Too many ruffles! Actress Diane Kruger wore a white, Alberta Ferretti Fall/Winter 2025 silk gown which featured all different kinds of ruffles on it. In addition, the high-neck didn't seem too appropriate for a summer garden party

Three great summer perfumes at all price points – one is the perfect subtle scent for everyday
A QUICK spritz of the right perfume can totally transform your mood – and summer scents are certainly some of the most addictive. Here are three of my favourites . . . BUDGET M&S Discover Salty Skin Eau de Toilette, £10 for 100ml, The notes of this perfume read like a list of all my favourite scents; tart bergamot, mandarin and lemon, lightly floral orange blossom and jasmine, comforting musk and amber. It reminds me of the smell when you open the balcony door of your air-conditioned hotel room to be hit with the warm, thick air outside that's holding the smell of sun-tan lotion and salty sea air. It's the perfect subtle scent for everyday that will still feel special every time you spray it, and given the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better value fragrance. I can't imagine there's a single person who won't love it. MID-RANGE Roger & Gallet Vanille Soleil Fragrant Water, £39 for 100ml, Fragrance expert Alice du Parq aptly described this as the scent equivalent of a Mr Whippy ice cream topped with Maldon sea salt flakes. I can't think of a better way to convey the moreish, elevated vanilla perfume that's equally sweet and savoury – like all the best snacks. It's not at all sickly, despite the powdery notes of jasmine and tonka bean. It's the perfect 'old money' scent, that doesn't scream in your face or leave a trail behind you when you leave a room, but when people get close, it smells sophisticated and clean. I get stopped in the street by people asking where my perfume's from - it's a dupe of a designer scent & saves me £135 LUXURY Maison Margiela Never Ending Summer Eau de Toilette, £62 for 30ml, This perfume is an Aperol Spritz in a scent. It's fizzy, bright and packed with juicy bitter orange, rich, hearty cedarwood, sharp pepper and spicy cardamom, that make it the perfect late night summer scent cocktail to cut through humid climes. It's one of the few truly unisex holiday inspired scents on the market – with no hint of sun cream-style coconut that can quickly become extremely girly. It's grown up elegance, that's guaranteed to bring in compliments. PICK OF THE WEEK AUSSIE beauty products are having a major moment right now – they make some of the most sophisticated SPFs and they're talented when it comes to body care too. But the latest export to hit our shores - MCo Beauty - is about to shake up the affordable beauty space in a major way, given every single product in the range costs less than £15. If I have to pick a favourite, it's MCo Beauty Super Glow Bronzing Drops, £12, which can be used alone as a tinted base, mixed into foundation as you tan, or applied to cheeks as a bronzer.
