Dior and French Elle honored cover girl Sharon Stone last night - quite a change of pace from last year’s face, Mischa Barton. Many stars were conveniently close by, participating in the Cannes Film Festival.

The party went on  till around midnight, when guests boarded Dior shuttles back to Cannes for Dolce & Gabbana’s fifth annual La Dolce Vita party. Let’s just stop right there. Not only do these A-listers get to hang out in France and attend multiple parties and siorees, they get to be ferried back and forth from them in comped shuttles? If only Dior would start up something like that to help get me around my city.

Meanwhile, back at the party … the crowd - which included Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong - got to dancing to old Madonna songs.  Too bad Madonna wasn’t actually there - THAT would have been the icing on the Cannes cake.
