W cover stars and Golden Globe nominees Margot Robbie and Colman Domingo were among the first guests to arrive, each immediately embracing Moonves and Hirschberg and marveling at the floor-to-ceiling blowups of their Teller images that adorned the walls. “This is very, very cool,” Robbie said. Even cooler? The moment when Hirschberg introduced Robbie to one of her biggest fans: Nicolas Cage, whom she had never met before. (“I’m a huge admirer of Margot Robbie; she’s one of my favorite actors,” he recently told Hirschberg.) The Barbie star blushed upon their introduction and expressed that the admiration was mutual.
The event, presented by Christian Louboutin, was imbued with an electric, convivial atmosphere ahead of the Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday. Emma Stone, who’s received rave reviews for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things, was swarmed with well-wishers including Julia Garner and Robbie before making her way out to the terrace to catch up with Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. Da’Vine Joy Randolph gamefully posed alongside her W cover. Ayo Edebiri danced with her longtime pals Molly Gordon and Rachel Sennott. There was a mini The Bear reunion for Edibiri and castmates Abby Elliott and Lionel Boyce, who were also among the attendees. Kaia Gerber was all smiles taking selfies with Callum Turner, star of The Boys in the Boat and the upcoming Masters of the Air (opposite Gerber’s beau, Austin Butler). Taraji P. Henson had a fireside chat with Gabrielle Union. The Color Purple’s Danielle Brooks made it a point to congratulate Barry Keoghan on his success with Saltburn. And Kathryn Hahn showered James Marsden with praise for Jury Duty. Meanwhile, Greta Gerwig snapped a video of Ryan Gosling, aka “Just Ken,” whose picture looked down from the ceiling. Gerwig was among some of the year’s most celebrated directors, including Todd Haynes, Celine Song, and A.V. Rockwell, who seized the opportunity to relax and socialize ahead of the busy awards campaign season.
