“Oooooh, you look stunning,” Diane von Furstenberg purred, seeing @cindycrawford walking in wearing her circa 2000 archive wrap dress.

“Diane’s was the first show I did in New York,” the supermodel said, arriving at the galleries of the Skirball Cultural Center on Tuesday night for the opening of “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion,” making its North American debut at the Los Angeles museum and Jewish institution founded in 1996.

“I love that you’re wearing this dress,” the designer said as the two sat together sharing a moment. “I have lived a life,” she reminisced, as the exhibition does, on her 50-plus year career.

“She showed women how to dress for work and still be sexy,” Crawford said of von Furstenberg’s impact. “It wasn’t women wearing men’s clothes.” 

“For a lot of us here, we learned how to operate in the world watching her and by her leading through example,” said @jessicaalba “When I was starting my business, at first I was fearful, but she opened up so easily and was so welcoming, sharing her wisdom and advice,” the Honest Company founder continued. “She’s this warm hug but then this fierce icon.”

Lauren Sanchez was huddling with Barry Diller in conversation as the cameras snapped around them. “She’s a light,” Sanchez said of her friend, von Furstenberg.

The love was all around for @therealdvf at the opening of her exhibition at the @skirball_la last night. My story @wwd with pics from @bucknerphoto
