The Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar was the place to be Saturday night…especially for camera shy celebs thanks to host Nur Khan’s Heroes & Villans party. The doorman who donned an All-Access costume was anything but while keeping a close reign on his clipboard. Hugh Grant, Sienna Miller, and Kirsten Dunst all popped by–and magically bypassed the paparrazzi–while Jason Statham very visibly held court with girlfriend Alex Zosman. Models Lily Donaldson and Caroline Weinberg added the fashion factor along with Agyness Deyn (who was Wayne to Alexa Chung’s Garth in an ode to Wayne’s World). Also spotted were Lizzy Jagger, Mazdack and Zanna Rassi, Lauren and Andreas Santo Domingo, Ally Hilfiger, and Christian Sirano in full Little Mermaid fierceness (natch).

Remember Yoko Devereaux? The Brooklyn-based fashion house and menswear brand directed by Andy Salzer was founded in 2000 and was seen on the likes of Pharell Williams, Josh Hartnett, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Alan Cumming, the Scissor Sisters, and all male employees at both the Tribeca Grand and Soho Grand hotels–but alas, the brand is dead. So dead, in fact, that the team is throwing a funeral at the Box next Tuesday, an event Chic Report found on Facebook titled “bitch be dead: RIP Yoko D.” The event will have a eulogy presented by Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters and a visual installation by English Kills featuring a 10 year retrospective of the brand. “Please join us as we celebrate the life, and lament the untimely death, of Yoko Devereaux,” the page reads. “For, though she has passed now from this Earth, she will live on forever in our hearts. ‘For 10 years, I have lived and breathed Yoko Devereaux,’ says Andy Salzer, Creative Director. “The entire experience from beginning to end has changed my life. With that said, I felt it important to take a moment to celebrate Yoko Devereaux, her life and say goodbye.’” Dress code, naturally, is “Funeral Realness.”

Rag & Bone’s SoHo shop may not be brand-new anymore (the Mercer Street outpost did not miss out on last month’s Fashion’s Night Out festivities), but that didn’t stop Marcus Wainwright and David Neville from pulling out all the stops to celebrate it last night. Guests like Jim Moore, Craig McDean, and Sienna Miller dropped by to browse the boys’ wares…and share a glass of champers or two, bien sûr!

Happy birthday, Donna! Will.I.Am played the very unexpected role of host to Donna Karan’s birthday party today at Star City Casino in Sydney, Australia (!). Karan was all smiles as she blew out the candles on her very blue birthday cake–we’re getting ideas for our next b-day soiree. Karan and friends feted like they do down under, sipping champagne in celebration of the designer.

Chic just hates to spill secrets, but we’re still going to reveal that The Patton Group’s co-president Carol Bell was fêted last night by 35 of her closest friends at Brasserie Cognac. The occasion? Her40ème anniversaire. Alison Brod, Dana Gers, Gillian and Sylvester Miniter, Rory Hermelee, Kimberly Oser, Lydia Fenet and more ate cheese puffs and various salad-based confections while Carol Brodie offered some inventive aging tips that needn’t be reprinted, really. Fret not, Ms. Bell–there were only three candles on that cake, after all.

Before hitting the Alexander Wang after-party, Agyness Deyn stopped by the Jonathan Levine Gallery in Chelsea to check out the latest works from street artist D*Face and Mark Dean Veca. While hoards of edgy-chic guests milled about examining the various pieces–Veca’s As Cold As They Come series of guns inspired by movies (think The Godfather and Dirty Harry) was a standout–the former bleached blonde went virtually unrecognized thanks to her new jet black pageboy. Will the supermodel keep her new understated look? Or will she be donning red in the future? Stay tuned!

For some, Fashion’s Night Out may be a party–but for the team at Jimmy Choo, there’s work to be done. Both of Jimmy Choo’s Manhattan boutiques will stay open until 11 p.m. for late-night shopping (with cocktails on hand, natch), but at the Madison Avenue location, a live photo shoot will be taking place for the brand’s Fall 2009 collection–starring Angela Lindvall (the faceof the spring campaign, above), styled by Tamara Mellon, and shot by Sean Thomas. Shoppers will catch a behind-the-scenes look at the on-site shoot while they browse and buy Choo’s sexy stilettos…

Orange was all over MoMA yesterday at the premiere of The September Issue. We’re not sure if the guests were inspired by the humidity or some internal memo.

When supermodel wants to dance, no one should dare to stop her. Naomi Campbell was the queen of the night at the VIP room in St. Tropez on Saturday and boogied even when her billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin was busy doing business on his phone. Earlier in the day, the foxy icon had lunch with another powerful woman: Queen Rania of Jordan.

On Wednesday night, style magazine-cum-retail venture Monocle hosted a soirée at the Gramercy Park Hotel for a chic set including Jenna Lyons, Chace Crawford, and (naturally) Monocle’s Tyler Brule. But another guest made an appearance at the party…mysteriously enough. None of the girls working at the door saw him come in, but later in the night, David Blaine appeared and entertained Brule with card tricks.
