Gayle King attended the Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program Luncheon at Locanda Verde on Sept. 17 in New York City. The TV personality arrived at the event wearing Chanel, down to her shoes.
The CBS journalist looked chic in a cream long sleeve dress, red Chanel bag and a pair of Chanel T-Strap Cap-Toe Logo-Embellished Heels in the ivory and black colorway. She kept her jewelry simple but fun, wearing a long beaded necklace, dangly earrings and dainty rings.
King’s shoe is from Virginie Viard’s Chanel Spring/Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collection. The pair featured a Chanel leather t-strap, an interlocking CC logo at the center with faux pearl accents. It also features a round toe box, wrap-around straps, a buckle closure at the ankles and a sensible four-inch heel.
King is never one to shy away from comfort and often prefers comfort over style. Just last week she arrived at InStyle’s 30th Birthday Celebration in NYC wearing a long animal print dress with a pair of thong sandals. She was also one of the first celebrities to endorse Spanx creator Sara Blakely’s latest innovation—Sneex, which is a stiletto-sneaker hybrid aimed at comfort.
At the Through Her Lens Luncheon, King was joined by other stars including Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde, Rosie Perez, Misty Copeland, Francesca Scorsese and more. The event was put together by Tribeca and Chanel in support of women in film. Through Her Lens: The Tribeca CHANEL Women’s Filmmaker Program promotes emerging and independent voices. From funding and project support to dedicated mentorship, the three-day program is set to champion up-and-coming U.S.-based women and non-binary writers, directors and producers.
Over the course of the program, mentors assist talent to refine and present their short film concepts to the film industry, and ultimately select one of their projects to fund and produce. The program boasts an advisory committee that includes people like Jane Fonda, Patty Jenkins, Laura Karpman, Greta Lee, A.V. Rockwell and Kerry Washington.
