At the recent Tribeca and Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Luncheon, stars aligned as Leslie Mann and her daughter, Maude Apatow, enjoyed a delightful mother-daughter outing. Held at the charming Locanda Verde in New York City on September 17, the event marked the kickoff of the Through Her Lens program, a valuable initiative celebrating the talents of emerging female filmmakers.
Joined by an array of celebrities, including Beanie Feldstein, Olivia Wilde, and Rosie Perez, Mann and Apatow showcased a stunning display of fashion while reaffirming their commitment to the artistic community. The luncheon was not just a social gathering but a hub of support, bringing together over one hundred influential women from various corners of the entertainment industry, including actors, directors, and costume designers — all dressed to impress in elegant ensembles from Chanel.
Leslie Mann turned heads in an eye-catching red and black leather skirt complemented by a crisp white top. Her ensemble was elevated with chic accessories and makeup from the luxury brand. Meanwhile, Maude Apatow embraced a fresh aesthetic in a light yellow and white cashmere pullover paired with ivory shorts, accessorizing her look with signature Chanel shoes and a refined bag.
Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of the Tribeca Film Festival, welcomed the distinguished guests as she reminded them of the importance of their presence and unity in the industry. “Look around at who’s sitting next to you. It’s the way we support each other that really is the uniqueness of the Through Her Lens program,” she stated, emphasizing the collective strength and impact of the attendees.
Reflecting on the success of the program, Rosenthal shared that, over the past decade, nearly one hundred emerging filmmakers have been supported, leading to the creation of forty short films that have graced festivals such as Tribeca, Sundance, and Toronto. These works have found homes on platforms like Netflix and HBO Max, showcasing the continued rise of their alumni in directing critically acclaimed feature films and prominent television series.
