A dispatch from Chanel’s pre-Oscars dinner
Penélope Cruz Photo: Getty Images On the Polo Lounge patio, beyond the welcoming mariachi band, Chanel’s 12th annual Oscars-eve party is impassably crowded. Confident besilked shoulders huddle over the white summer couches. I see many tall pants, screaming neon-pink suits, and visible breath. I don’t even think it’s that cold! But it’s Los Angeles cold, and even breath can be dramatic here.
I learn that the varieties of bright, glimmering tweeds are endless, and that diamonds can line a small black suit. Approximately 18 people seem like they could be going to a business meeting in a Pedro Almodóvar film, and there he is! In sweet aqua, head to heel, and shiny black sunglasses.

Most of them are black and four of them are circles. One is shaped like a phone case; one like a tiny hatbox on a chain.
We talk about the sneaky manipulative force of music to get us to cry and feel things. Rogers says that she doesn’t have the stomach for horror movies, but loves the soundtracks. “I’m so interested in frequency and the way it makes you feel. As a producer that’s what I’m thinking about all the time.” “So do you want to score a horror movie?” I ask. “I can’t do a horror movie, too scary! A rom-com. Happy pop songs.
