Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's 30th Birthday Party Photos

There are so many gorgeous photos of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's 30th birthday party Friday night at Indochine that I added the collection to the photo gallery. What a party! Julia was joined in her celebration by a crowd of her friends and family including her parents, Christian Restoin and Carine Roitfeld, and her brother, Vladimir, and his girlfriend, Giovanna Battaglia. Notable among the crowd were Peter Dundas of Pucci who designed Julia's short red lace dress especially for her for the party; other rock star designers such as Riccardo Tisci, Joseph Altuzarra, and Alexander Wang; top models like Lara Stone, Lily Donaldson, and Helena Christensen; and talented friends including Pamela Love and Eddie Borgo. Only Mademoiselle Restoin-Roitfeld could make turning thirty look so hot.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's 30th Birthday Party

On Friday night, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld celebrated her birthday at Indochine in New York City, hosting quite the exotic soirée. The birthday girl is stunning in red lace as is maman in black lace; note that Julia's dress was custom made for her by Peter Dundas of Pucci. Via his tweets, Derek Blasberg describes the scene: "I'm at Julia Roitfeld's 30th birthday at Indochine: its ridiculous. Its like every fashion week party rolled into a Vietnamese extravaganza!" and later that night when leaving the party Blasberg relays: "Julia Roitfeld just worked me out... Lancôme gift bag (with mens products, booyah) at her birthday party." In addition to sponsoring her party, her latest liaison Lancôme also tweeted her a sweet birthday message: "Happy birthday to our newest spokesmodel Julia Restoin-Roitfeld!" (Only 6 hours, 38 minutes after I did, but who is counting?). For more Indochine fun, check out The Unknown Hipster's drawings of parties past including one of Carine Roitfeld.

The Roitfelds At Victoria’s Secret Extravaganza

The general public will not be privy to the show until November 30, but last night Victoria's Secret hosted its annual fashion extravaganza and of course it would not be a party without the Roitfelds. The spectacle of all spectacles went down at the Lexington Armory in New York and Carine Roitfeld and daughter Julia were seated front row. Angels (aka lingerie models) sporting wings and little else on the catwalk included Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Chanel Iman, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Anne Vyalitsina. Performances by Akon and Katy Perry kept things lively. Among the other stellar guests were Giovanna Battaglia, Malin Ackerman, Tyson Beckford, Estelle, Adrian Grenier, Debbie Harry (pictured here because she is cool as hell), Kate Lanphear, Zac Posen, Russell Simmons, and Alexander Wang. Partygoers ended the evening by dancing the night away at LAVO. See more of the Victoria's Secret show at Fashion Foie Gras.
