"As awards season ramps up, Chanel is continuing its tradition of supporting women in film beyond red carpet dressing. Less than two months after co-hosting its 10th annual Through Her Lens program - a three-day mentorship event attended by the likes of Mariska Hargitay, Meghann Fahy, and Lily Allen - the luxury fashion house threw another star-studded affair for a similar cause."
"On Tuesday, Nov. 4, the French label headed to Los Angeles for its fourth annual Academy Women's Luncheon in collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Held on the rooftop of the film organization's museum, aka the Dolby Family Terrace, the event celebrated the Academy Gold Fellowship for Women, an initiative that supports emerging filmmakers with financial aid and mentorship."
"The actor-turned-director, decked out in head-to-toe Chanel, opened her remarks by saying, "I'm here because I've made a film that really struggled to exist," before pointing out the "elephant in the room": the lack of women filmmakers. But she saw the event as a point of celebration. "We are allowed to be proud of ourselves," she said before thanking all the attendees at the luncheon."
