Lola Santisi is a twenty-six-year-old member of Hollywood Royalty (Papa's vying for Best Director Oscar #2 and Mom's a fixture at The Ivy). Without a kingdom--or even a condo--to call her own, she suffers from twin afflictions: Actorholism (a fatal addiction to dating hunky actors) and CDD (Career Deficit Disorder, an epidemic among children of Hollywood Royalty). Her latest gig as a Hollywood Ambassador means she's been engaging in LA's cruelest blood sport: convincing celebrities to wear her designer's gowns to the Oscars. Lola's first best friend is Kate, a Hollywood talent agent desperate to go from unter to über, whether we're talking sex, work, or both. Lola's other BFF is Cricket, a struggling model/actress looking to surpass her role as a coma victim on "Grey's Anatomy." Together they dodge fashion roadkill while navigating the GM Fashion Show, the Gagosian dinner at Mr. Chow, Barry Diller's and Diane von Furstenberg's pre-Oscar picnic, Ed Limato's chic soiree, and more--until ultimately they end their week at the über-exclusive Vanity Fair Oscar party. But who will be left standing in her stilettos as the sun rises at Patrick Whitesell's even more exclusive after after Oscar party?

Lola Santini a pris trois bonnes résolutions : ne plus jamais coucher avec un acteur, cesser d'être seulement une " fille à papa célèbre ", trouver un boulot qui lui plaît. Son meilleur ami, styliste, l'embauche alors pour une délicate mission : persuader les stars de porter ses créations aux Oscars, occasion rêvée pour Lola de percer dans le milieu impitoyable de la mode... Mais la jungle d'Hollywood regorge d'autres " célébutantes " aux dents longues qui feront tout pour lui couper l'herbe sous les talons aiguilles !

The New York Times bestselling authors of Celebutantes return with a dazzling novel set at the Cannes Film Festival, where everyone is eager to discover or become the Next Big Thing. Lola Santisi, CEO of a struggling fashion line and daughter of Hollywood royalty, is caught between the fashion world in New York and her real life with her doctor boyfriend in Los Angeles. As she attempts to launch Julian Tennant’s new dress line, their big break arrives when his wedding dresses are selected for the top film at Cannes. Suddenly, Lola finds herself staging a couture show on a yacht in the Mediterranean, facing unexpected challenges, including a dramatic mishap on the runway. Meanwhile, her best friend Kate Woods, a rising star agent, is newly single after a breakup with Lola's brother and is focused on her clients, including the unpredictable Nic Knight. Among her other mega-star clients is Saffron Sykes, whose magazine cover could determine the fate of Julian Tennant, Inc. As Lola navigates the glamorous yet superficial world of Cannes, she must confront whether real love and couture can coexist. With family dynamics and personal challenges at play, Lola must find the answers to her dilemmas, proving that it takes more than just prosperity chants to save the day.
