By the time we get to the party, for which the Colosseum is bathed in blue light as a backdrop for wire-dancing acrobats dressed in Valentinored, the Felliniesque-ness of it all can bring tears to our eyes.
Sally Field in classic redValentino, Jane Fonda in bright yellow Versace and Emmanuelle Riva in a teal gown that recalled society grande dames all looked regal in their fashion choices.
My heart skipped a beat just for a moment when Jennifer Aniston stepped onto the red carpet in her redValentino gown and what looked like a petite jewelry watch on her wrist.
