"Leave it to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to close out Cannes with their own glittering birthday affair for longtime friend and muse Naomi Campbell ... Inspired by La Dolce Vita, Le Bâoli featured both an excess of champagne and guests. Bold-faced names like Kate Hudson, Lance Armstrong, Natalie Portman, Lily Donaldson, Milla Jovovich, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Laura Harring, Stavros Niarchos, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Andrew Saffir and Daniel Benedict and Carine Roitfeld were safely escorted inside ... Inside, Lindsay Lohan and pal Samantha Ronson arrived 10 minutes before the bash started to help set up the latter's deejay equipment that fueled the dance floor for the next four hours. 'I have never had so much fun dancing as in this dress,' exclaimed Kerry Washington, while nearby, Dita Von Teese stepped it up on a table, removing her skirt to reveal a Dolce & Gabbana corset and thigh-highs. One sideliner was Rose McGowan, who still showed high spirits despite a broken foot. 'I'm a fashion survivor,' she concluded, happily modeling her boot cast---accessorized with a shiny Dolce & Gabbana plaque, bien sur." (Fashionweekdaily)
