What To Wear To The Chateau Marmont (Photos)
Awards season is upon us, and not all of the stars are quite as down-to-earth as Justin Timberlake who hit up Taco Bell after the People's Choice Awards last night. The season for glittery pre-parties and after-parties kicks off in anticipation of the booziest film awards of them all this Sunday: the Golden Globes. A lot of that partying happens at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont (some of it starting tonight).
This is as good an excuse as any to see who stopped by the legendary hotel in the past year—and how they looked. There are the A-listers who dress up if they've got something to promote or hide their face if they don't. There are the B-listers who play it cool, and the C- and D-listers who preen for the camera. It has an incredible history of celebrity mischief-making, and the legends continue.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
