Final night, designer Stella McCartney celebrated the opening of her new SoHo boutique in New York City, in which a lot of renowned fans—including Liv Tyler, Naomi Watts, Jason Sudeikis and Anna Wintour—were on hand to support her.
And E! News got the exclusive scoop from the party-content celebs, including a snap of Liv obtaining naked?!
Nicely, not fairly. As the Lord of the Rings actress cozied up to the designer outdoors on the red carpet, Stella stripped off the star’s black coat to reveal her McCartney-created dress.
Liv yelled at her BFF for creating her “get naked” before rushing inside the store to warm up.
“I’ve noticed her get naked,” McCartney joked to E! News soon after their photo op. “I’m accomplished. I needed you guys to get her.”
On a much more severe note, Liv gushed to us, “Stella, Stella, Stella—Superwoman. I admire her so significantly. I’ve been close friends with her for a genuinely long time.
