Van Cleef and Arpels Dinner for LA Dance Project at Disney Hall
From Vogue:
Like any great dancer, Benjamin Millepied knows how to make an entrance. For the world premiere of his new collaborative, L.A. Dance Project, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall Saturday night, the former New York City Ballet principal choreographed a lavish evening (together with cohost Van Cleef and Arpels) complete with an intimate VIP dinner, a boisterous after-party, and even a Robert Pattinson sighting. “I live near Natalie [Portman] and she invited me to come,” said the Twilight star, who chatted with fellow guests Dita Von Teese and Jaime King and gamely posed for fan photos.From The Hollywood Reporter
Before a crowd that included Dita von Teese, Chris Evans, philanthropist Wallis Annenberg and Robert Pattinson (drinking Coronas and using an electronic cigarette), Millepied's L.A. Dance Project company performed three pieces, including a new piece by Millepied (with costumes by Rodarte) and a dark, shadowy work by the late legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham that had not been performed in 50 years.

Portman and Millepied, plus von Teese, Pattinson and around 120 other guests, attended a pre-performance dinner at Disney Concert Hall sponsored by Van Cleef & Arpels and then all hung out for the after-party in an event area off the main lobby. Pattinson -- who is friends with Portman and Millepied and is said to live near them in Los Angeles -- told THR that he loved the performances but can't see himself ever dancing in a film: "I was inspired but I know my limitations." If he'd had to dance for a role, "I wouldn't have gotten it."
From eOnline
The Twilight star, 26, was first spotted Saturday night attending the premiere of Natalie Portman's choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied's ballet Moving Parts at Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los.Angeles.
The performance was also the debut of Millepied's new L.A. Dance Project company and was followed by a Van Cleef & Arpels dinner.
"He was there the whole night," a source says of R.Pattz. "He came at 5:30 and didn't leave until the end of the after party. He just seemed really relaxed and happy. He was drinking beer and puffing on an electronic cigarette."
Pattinson, scruffy and dressed in a gray Gucci suit and black shirt but with no tie, seemed to have come to the gala with a male pal, the source said.
@KTLTran: For all the Robert Pattinson fans: he's wearing Gucci and drinking Amstel Light @vancleefarpels dinner tonight at Disney Hall
