Anne Hathaway was the belle of the ball at New York City Ballet’s fall gala on Thursday, which celebrated Valentino, who designed the costumes for the performances. Valentino told us he is making Hathaway’s dress for her upcoming wedding to Adam Shulman. He said she “is a very good friend of mine. She is a great star . . . She is like my daughter.” Guests at the Lincoln Center event included Carolina Herrera, Daphne Guinness, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sarah Jessica Parker, a City Ballet board member who came up with the idea of the Valentino collaboration. On the ballet, Valentino said, “I saw my clothes on the stage — and, of course, seeing all the girls . . . with the makeup and the hair I designed . . . it was a great joy.” Dancing went on late with music spun by DJs Sean and Anthony Souza, sons of Valentino’s Carlos Souza, who partied until after 3 a.m. at Amy Sacco’s No. 8 with a crew that included Hathaway, Iman, Carlos Mota, Jamie Tisch, Stavros Niarchos and Jessica Hart.
