Vegetarian Star

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, First Lady of France and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, enjoyed vegan fare from Candle Cafe at an event intended to honor her for her work with Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Carla was accompanied by her husband and Jordan’s Queen Rania.

The party was hosted by Peter Chernin and Tom Freston along with his wife, author Kathy Freston, who happens to be vegan.

Other guests included Brian Grazer, Charlie Rose, Christy Turlington and Howard Schultz

Carla is already fur-free, as she announced this several months ago.

Will the delish vegan food from Candle Cafe make her want to go meat-free as well?

Stella McCartney was honored by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) recently at its Forces For Nature gala.

The environmental group honored both the vegetarian fashion designer who refuses to use leather in her products, as well as Discovery Channel chief David Zaslav.

Attendees at the event were entertained by comedians and dined on a vegetarian meal.

Stella’s proud papa, Paul McCartney was there with girlfriend Nancy Shevell.

“A love of nature has been instilled in [Stella] as she grew up,” Paul said. “But I don’t want to take any credit. She’s a smart girl. When she came in to the fashion industry, she came in to Gucci, which is leather city. I was really wondering how long it would be before she’d have to cave in to the economic pressures, but she just hung in there.”

Other celebrity attendees included Tom and Kathy Freston, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Graydon and Anna Carter, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ron Perelman, Zhang Ziyi and host Alec Baldwin.

Stella’s fashion line is quite successful, and the fact that more environmentally friendly attire is making its way into women’s closets is a bonus. And that’s just how Stella prefers it.

“I don’t want people to buy my stuff because they know it’s not leather,” she said with a smile. “I just want them to want the boots.”
