Oscar party
The night's toughest ticket, the Paramount
Pictures-20th Century Fox party for Titanic, held under a white tent
in a Beverly Hills parking lot. No ticket, no entry. Inside, the 800 guests
swarmed around tables brimming with lambchops, risotto and pastas, sushi
and desserts. Others mobbed Cameron (who had just arrived with Hamilton
from the Governors Ball), greeting him with high fives and "Good
going, bro!" t is good to be "the King of the World," as Cameron described
himself from the Oscar stage.

The Titantic star and Oscar nominee Kate Winslet made a special visit
to Paris to see the show, sitting next to Bernard Arnault, president of
LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), which owns the Givenchy house. Winslet,
wearing what she described as "a mish-mash of Gucci trousers, Joseph
T-shirt, Betty Jackson jacket and old Shelley's platform shoes",
disclosed that she had chosen Alexander McQueen to design her a Givenchy
couture gown for the Oscars night in Hollywood. She said after the show:
"It's going to be fantastic, but it's top-secret".

Titanic star Kate Winslet, in an emerald green Alexander
McQueen for Givenchy, chose the designer
specifically, "because he's a funky designer who knows
how to dress women." A special bonus: the emerald
hue matched her eyes: "Somebody just told me
[that], but I didn't realize it when I picked it."
