Maria Grazia Chiuri<\/a>\u2019s debut show for Fendi <\/a>was among the hottest tickets at this Milan Fashion Week<\/a>, and the celebrity guests in attendance proved it.
\u00a0
There was no shortage of Hollywood A-listers including Uma Thurman, Jessica Alba, Dakota Fanning and Shailene Woodley, as well as musicians, from the American Jessie Murph and Kitty Cash to the Brits Gene and Lennon Gallagher.
\u00a0
In hindsight some of the looks sported by guests in the front row anticipated Chiuri\u2019s vision for the Roman luxury brand, filled, for example, with handsome tailored jackets, tuxedo blazers and woolen coats.
\u00a0
Donning a black pantsuit with a pristine white shirt, Thurman said that Wednesday marked an \u201chistoric moment\u201d for Fendi<\/a>. \u201cMaria Grazia is one of my favorite designers. I think her work is art and beautiful. And so I came all the way to Milan to see her first show,\u201d she said as a clutch of photographers encircled her.
\u00a0
\u201cI\u2019m so excited to see how she interprets and collaborates with the house. I feel like Maria Grazia embodies classic style and chic style,\u201d echoed Woodley, who decided to pair her tuxedo blazer with a V-neck, see-through blouse underneath. \u201cShe really understands femininity in a way that resonates with me and always has, from her time at Dior, at Valentino before that, and then now at Fendi. She started at Fendi, so it\u2019s great to see her back,\u201d the star of \u201cThe Fault in Our Stars\u201d and \u201cBig Little Lies\u201d said.
\u00a0
Woodley\u2019s first Fendi item ever owned? A green, sparkly Baguette bag, not unlike the one she was carrying at the show. \u201cMy pride and joy,\u201d she said as she waited to see many more iterations of the signature accessory on the runway, from the heavily embellished numbers with macram\u00e9 detailing and beading to the all-black style in crackled leather.
\u00a0
They likely won over Fanning, too, whose first memory of Fendi is also linked to the Baguette. \u201cIt\u2019s the best and so classic but can be changed with different beading and different colors and different prints, and so it\u2019s timeless, but you can always have a different twist on it,\u201d she said as she pointed to the bag she was carrying, a fully sequined black and white version framed in red beads.
\u00a0
Wearing a men\u2019s Fendi pantsuit \u2014 accessorized with golden hoop earrings and black shades \u2014 Bellucci interpreted Chiuri\u2019s \u201cshared wardrobe\u201d concept with her look.
\u00a0
\u201cIt\u2019s ideal for a woman, it\u2019s practical, elegant and feminine. It\u2019s one of Maria Grazia\u2019s ideas,\u201d the Italian star said. \u201cShe\u2019s so creative and I\u2019m sure that today is going to be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other guests included South Korean singer Bang Chan, a Fendi brand ambassador who caused a frenzy, as well as British actress Iris Law and American actress and singer Arden Cho.<\/p>\n
