Katie Holmes, Uma Thurman, and Naomi Watts Celebrate Zimmermann’s Cruise 2027 Collection!

There are few places in New York that know how to throw a fashion party quite like Indochine. Don’t take my word for it, take history’s. On Wednesday evening, the legendary downtown hotspot played host to a glamorous gathering as sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann celebrated Zimmermann’s Cruise 2027 ready-to-wear collection, The Clash, with an intimate, star-studded dinner.

The guest list was of course no less iconic, with Katie Holmes, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, Eve Hewson, Ziwe and Pauline Chalamet among the stylish crowd. Also making the rounds were Gabriella Brooks, Leila George, Ego Nwodim, Sai De Silva, Tina Leung, Pamela Tick, and Olivia Jade, alongside a mix of artists, tastemakers, and longtime friends of the brand.

Naturally, the evening doubled as an unofficial, yet very intentional, showcase for the new collection. Holmes opted for a sleek tuxedo jumpsuit, while Thurman wore an elegant, black draped midi dress. Watts, on the other hand, embodied sophistication in a loosely draped tunic paired with wide-leg trousers.

The festivities kicked off with cocktails that stretched well past the hour-and-a-half mark inside Indochine’s red-lit, palm-lined interiors before guests were finally asked to take their seats for dinner. Soon after, Charlotte Lawrence, dressed in a lace maxi dress from the collection, treated the crowd to what can only be described as part intimate acoustic performance, part stand-up comedy routine. While her set included her singles Dog and Morning, it was the hilarious (and rather revealing!) backstories about the ex who inspired both songs that really grabbed people’s attention. And yes, she named names. Sorry, Johnny, but apparently you did her dirty, and she’s making sure the world knows about it! After a few more entertaining anecdotes involving tequila shots and her best friend’s wedding the previous weekend, Lawrence urged the crowd to sing along to her rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams, to which the crowd happily obliged.

Dinner followed family style on a dramatically long table down the center of the dining room ,and lined in sculptural red floral arrangements and flickering candlelight. The mood was exceptionally warm, perfect for this time of year, with a touch of old-school New York glamour mixed with just the right amount of downtown edge.

And because no proper fashion fête ends at dessert, the crowd lingered well into the evening as DJ Amrit Tietz took over her own tables, turning the celebration into a lively after party filled with dancing and revelry. Consider it another fashionable Indochine night for the books. If only those walls could talk!
