Funny People
It’s being hyped as a comedy match made in heaven—Steve Carell and Tina Fey as a suburban couple whose plans for a romantic evening in Manhattan go horribly, outrageously awry. In Date Night, out this Friday, a case of mistaken identity turns an innocent dinner for two into a nightmare of flying bullets, death-defying car stunts, and, finally, a ludicrous (and apparently entirely improvised) tandem striptease. “It was like Angelina Jolie fantasy camp,” said Fey, who was wearing a blue organza Christian Cota number at last night’s premiere at the Ziegfeld.
The co-stars—both securely married, albeit not to each other—have been off the market for quite some time, and seem to prefer it that way. “I was not much of a dater, and I think Tina’s the same way,” Carell ventured, an assessment Fey was quick to confirm. “I went on so few dates that I wouldn’t even know if they were terrible,” she said. As someone more battle-hardened in this department, her 30 Rock co-star Alec Baldwin offered his thoughts on the perfect date—”a woman who gives you a reason to stay home, so you don’t go out at all.” Still, there’s something to be said for a night for two on the town, especially if you’re an A-list comedian. As Carell said of himself and his wife: “Our date nights recently have consisted mostly of going to awards shows.”

Drape Night
Ginnifer Goodwin allows that she’s quite the “fashion girl,” so if it took a little designer homework to get up to speed on Vionnet, the Big Love actress was ready for it. “I was obsessed with my Golden Globes dress this year. It was the first time that I ever wore the label, and I didn’t know much about it, so I read up on the history.” Goodwin was equally entranced by the charcoal cutout velvet number she wore to host a party at Saks last night for the storied French house’s new designer, Rodolfo Paglialunga—not to mention the thigh-high vegan boots he made for her. “I want to keep the idea of how Madeleine Vionnet made clothes that were good and flattering for women,” said Paglialunga, “but, of course, to make it fresh as well.”
That’s a persuasive combination for Saks president and chief merchandising officer Ron Frasch—the department store has installed the brand in a dedicated section on the designer third floor. As for his hosting duties, which he shared with Goodwin, Vogue‘s Virginia Smith, and Vionnet’s Matteo Marzotto, Frasch joked, “I’m in it for the women.” There were plenty of those on hand, including model Jessica Stam, Sophomore’s Chrissie Miller, and Lauren Remington Platt. Wearing head-to-toe Vionnet, Platt commented, “I call this a ‘buddy outfit,’ because I need a friend to help me get it on.”
