>> After missing out on the Chanel Mobile Art opening and the Versace-hosted Whitney gala earlier this week, Anna Wintour was back in fine form — with Karl Lagerfeld at her side and Chanel on her person — at the Fashion Group International's Night of Stars last night. It was a night of family — Donatella Versace picked up the Superstar Award as Allegra Beck Versace looked on, Franca Sozzani was honored with her son Francesco Carrozzini in attendance — and friends — honorees Christopher Bailey and Francisco Costa brought Kate Bosworth and Ashley Olsen, respectively. Host Simon Doonan kept it light, at one point joking that Carla Sozzani had to make it back to the Marriott Marquis in time for a speed-dating session.

>> INSIDER WIRE —Donatella Versace hosted the Whitney Museum's gala last night, so her daughter Allegra Beck Versace skipped out of her classes at Brown to join her mom for the occasion: "I love when mom is New York. She's the best person to shop with. We love go to the theater and movies. The last film we saw was The Duchess." Earlier this year, Allegra's facebook listed her graduating in 2009 with a degree in Theater and French Studies — it will be interesting to see if she takes on a bigger role in the company she owns half of post-graduation.

>> Tom Ford was never one for low-dollar apparel; As he introduced reporters to his new store in Milan yesterday, where suits
will sell for upwards of $3,800, he himself was wearing $10,000 boots.
Later, the man of the hour and his business partner through thick and thin, Domenico De Sole, celebrated the store opening at a Milanese palazzo with a chatty Anna Wintour,
Tom Ford campaign model (NSFW) Jon Kortajarena, and a camera shy Miuccia Prada. Full gallery of the festivities below.
