Donna Karan Dances, and Leo Squires Non-Models

We dare say Donna out-partied Leonardo DiCaprio, who hid at the opposite end of the mezzanine under an unattractive baseball hat and departed long before Karan. He left holding the hand of a girl the Cut and friends agreed was pretty but who was — gasp — not a model. Enhancing shock factor, Movie Star and Random Girl left by taxi.
Despite awful daylight saving time (we always hate to lose an hour at the bar) and the awkward naked stage show, it was a refreshing Saturday night: We always thought Leo was too smart for models. And as for Donna, we always knew she's amazing but never pegged her for a cougar. It's so nice to see women like her — rather than accented, swarthy men like Cavalli — partying. You know, Donna, we're always open for a new best girlfriend.
