Following Friday’s Through Her Lens luncheon, Chanel and Tribeca teamed again on Monday evening for the annual artists dinner, now in its 18th year.

Several guests ducked past the step and repeat to head straight into The Odeon, like Robert De Niro, Christy Turlington, Ed Burns and Tory Burch. The rest — Sofia Coppola, Thomas Mars, Jon Hamm, Anna Osceola, Joe Jonas, Allison Janney, Lily James, Kyle McLachlan, Lily Allen, Lucy Liu, Grace Gummer, Louisa Jacobson, Celine Song, Maude Apatow, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Maisy Stella, Role Model, Mariska Hargitay, Peter Hermann, Molly Gordon, Chase Sui Wonders, Cooper Hoffman, Alisha Boe, Whitney Peak, Nicole Beharie, Lola Tung, Laufey, Wizkid, Barbara Bush, Tommy Dorfman and Hailey Benton Gates — posed in various Chanel ensembles before mingling over cocktails inside a tented entrance to the restaurant.

The dinner honors the collection of artists who donated original pieces to the filmmakers of the 2025 festival filmmaker winners. This year’s contributing artists included Alteronce Gumby, Faith Wilding, Jane Dickson, Jeffrey Meris, Lauren Halsey, Marilyn Minter, Naudline Pierre, Raúl de Nieves, Simphiwe Ndzube and Tuan Andrew Nguyen. 

On the red carpet, Blake Lively made a surprise appearance, hours after a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds. She was ushered past James, who was waiting to walk onto the carpet, and later turned back to apologize to the actress. 

James was in town for the Tribeca premiere of her thriller “Relay,” in which she stars with Riz Ahmed.

“We shot the movie in New York so to be able to have our American launch here felt potent and right and I just loved watching the movie — I hadn’t seen it on a big screen so it was really special,” James said of the premiere, which was Sunday evening. 

“It’s a thriller so you can feel the energy in the room. You could feel that the audience was really with us. Riz Ahmed is so wonderful and I just felt really proud,” James added. “It’s so wonderful to see movies in a cinema, on a big screen.”

Janney was fresh off presenting at the Tony Awards, which she did alongside Bryan Cranston; the two costar in the Tribeca movie “Everything’s Going to Be Great.”

“To be able to come to this dinner is such fun for me, because I’ve always wanted to be able to come and I’ve always been too busy,” Janney said, wearing a golden Chanel trenchcoat with embellished buttons. 

“It was actually the first thing I tried on that they sent for me and I was like ‘yes please. And more,’” Janney said of the look. “I love it.”

The following day, the actress was off to Rome to film a movie for Ridley Scott, “one of my heroes.” In the midst of the work schedule she fully plans to make time for some Roman fun. 

“Oh, you better believe I will,” she said. “I’m going to do some shopping and walking around and eating gelato and all the things you do when you’re in Rome.”

Sui Wonders, who stars in the series “The Studio,” was naturally in a Chanel look for the night, something not too far off for her character Quinn. 

“I wore a lot of Chanel. I had a vintage Chanel bag that I carried all around Vegas that was incredible, but so much vintage YSL, some vintage Miu Miu,” she said of the costumes. “There was one vintage Miu Miu top that had naked women on it that was really good. I wanted to keep the Chanel bag so badly, but we have season two so it’s all in a warehouse waiting to be used again.”

Inside The Odeon, Hamm kissed Gummer’s hand and wiggled his finger at James for a hello; Allen chatted with tablemate Nas; Jonas and Gummer compared the art books at their seats, and Role Model, Laufey and Dorfman posed for photos. The waiters stayed busy with orders for martinis and glasses of Champagne as trays of shrimp cocktail hit the tables and the room settled in for dinner.
