>> 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 has joined the legions of Gossip Girl fans; Since the show doesn't air in Italy, she has the DVDs sent over her way: "I love all the styling, all the clothes and how bitchy they are." She even mentioned her willingness to do a cameo on the show — producers, are you listening? Michael Kors did it, so why not Donatella? [WWD]

>> 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.

>> Designers spend an awful lot of time projecting their fantasies onto others, so the good people at Harper's Bazaar decided it was time to turn the tables for their September 2008 issue by asking ten designers to dress up as a fantasy character. How else would you know that Karl Lagerfeld loves rap, Alber Elbaz wants to produce a James Bond spinoff movie called "Jane Bomb," and Donatella Versace wants to wake up as a princess? Well, you might have guessed about that last one . . .
