Georgina Chapman said Nelson Mandela’s death was hard on her husband, Harvey Weinstein, who released his biopic of the South African leader last week. “A movie takes an awfully long time to make,” she told us at a lunch for Cosmopolitan mag’s Cosmo 100 list of influential women hosted by Joanna Coles at Michael’s. “Harvey was in London with his daughters . . . It was very difficult. [Mandela] was an idol.” The Marchesa designer was more upbeat about her emerald green chiffon gown, worn by Michelle Obama in DC: “I made it for her a long time ago, I had no idea she was going to wear it.” Also there: Barbara Walters, Gayle King, Mika Brzezinski, Hoda Kotb, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tamara Mellon and Queen Noor.
