Linda Bell Blue, Mary Hart and more ET celebs celebrate the show's stylist at a DVF party.
By "The Insider" correspondent Cheryl Woodcock
Style icon DIANE VON FURSTENBERG just feted "Entertainment Tonight"/"The Insider"'s very own head fashion stylist, ANYA SARRE, at a blowout summer party at the glamorous DVF boutique in L.A.'s trendy Melrose Place shopping district. This is the first time the grand dame of fashion and the inventor of the now legendary "wrap dress" has honored a stylist with such an event.
A mix of fashion's most famous, entertainment glitterati -- think ET's own MARY HART and THEA ANDREWS, executive producer and powerhouse LINDA BELL BLUE, senior producer HEIDI CLEMENTS, the beautiful and pregnant senior supervising producer ELIZA COST and the stunning and ever so chic LISA SUMMERS HAAS, vice president, communications -- enjoyed edible wonders by Perfect Endings founder SAM GODFREY. The "cake maker to the stars" has also served ASHLEE SIMPSON, COURTENEY COX and DAVID ARQUETTE, EVA LONGORIA PARKER and OPRAH WINFREY. All the sweet treats were winged in from California's Napa Valley. Catering by Republic completed the perfect repast.
While guests nibbled on sugary delights, they perused Von Furstenberg's fabulous new collection and slipped into elegant CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN shoes. On hand to aid with fit and foot: celebrity stylists TOD HALLMAN and TIM SNELL, who dress the likes of WHITNEY HOUSTON and QUEEN LATIFAH, among many others.
Guest-of-honor Anya was truly honored and quick to pay due respect to Von Furstenberg and her designer vision. She says, "DVF's collection of dresses are perfect for a chic summer party -- a mix of bright colors and fun prints that look great on everyone!"
Anya is truly a style icon in her own right: She has recently been featured in several magazines and is so on the top of her game. In my opinion, there is no one better, I am just so lucky to grace her style and selections every day on the show. Congratulations, Anya, you are a bright and shining star!
