Marc Jacobs Marries Char Defrancesco

The guests began arriving for Marc Jacobs and Char Defrancesco’s wedding reception at The Pool well before its 9 p.m. start on Saturday night. They just hadn’t been invited. The paparazzi (“they don’t like that name,” whispered one photographer) jockeyed for position as the security team built metal barricades for crowd control. It added to the intrigue for tourists walking by. “A private event” was all the information needed for them to join the cluster waiting to see who would arrive. Jacobs — perennially prompt — and Defrancesco were an early arrival, pulling up to the curb on 52nd Street in a gleaming vintage Rolls Royce. “Being here with our family and celebrating,” offered Jacobs when prompted by the crowd about what he was looking forward to. He and his husband happily obliged requests for photos, posing mid-kiss before descending the stairs. (Inside, the designer offered that he had chosen a pagoda-shouldered suit by Huntsman for the occasion. “It’s very Seventies, Cardin,” he mused.) The pair’s fashion family runs deep. Prompt guests included Christina Ricci and Boy George, followed by Justin Theroux and Donna Karan. The drag queens started arriving from down the block at 9:22, with Amber Valletta and Bette Midler close behind.
