Chanel and Tribeca brought together a dream dinner party guest list for its 17th annual Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner last night. Hosted at The Odeon in downtown Manhattan, the event celebrated the work of over 10 artists whose original pieces helped the filmmakers in this year’s festival tell their stories.
Actresses including Blake Lively (who arrived fashionably late), Katie Holmes, Victoria Pedretti, Selma Blair, and Camila Mendes arrived dressed impeccably in spring-ready ensembles from Chanel.
Lively stood out in a two-piece black, pink, and orange print set from the house’s spring summer 2023/24 collection. The star, who has styled herself for years, showed off two hands full of matching rings to photographers. She raved about her manicure too, which she did herself to complement her look. “Aren’t they incredible?” she said of her nails. “I had time for that. I literally did it while at work. It was a little chaotic.”
Holmes wore a black glittered guipure jacket and skirt from the same collection with 18k white gold and diamond earrings from the house’s fine jewelry line. She mingled with both Natasha Lyonne and Selma Blair inside the dinner.
There were far more celeb guests though, who enjoyed a candlelit meal and plenty of drinks over flower-adorned table settings. See all their looks below:

The group was chosen to represent “a wide spectrum of perspectives, backgrounds, and identities, affirming the essential role of diverse voices in storytelling,” Chanel and Tribeca wrote in a press release for the event.
