Julianne Moore, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne have all made pit stops at NKPR’s IT Lounge, where sitting for a portrait by Caitlin Cronenberg is positively de rigueur. Known as one of the glammiest spots, this year’s space is inspired by the edgy-cool vibe of Andy Warhol’s Factory.
Any actor who can get through 15 interviews a day without a cold, a meltdown or a wrinkle is a superstar (we’re looking at you, Salma Hayek). B.C.’s Saje Natural Wellness is all about the om with its immune-boosting, virus-fighting blend of eucalyptus, cinnamon, myrrh and peppermint.

Among the Instagrams and Snapchats, it’s nice to embrace the beauty of the handwritten word (if anyone can actually remember how). Cross is helping notables sign autographs with a stylish collection of pens commemorating Star Wars characters Darth Vader, C-3PO and Stormtrooper. www.cross.com
May the fest be with you. —Marianne Wisenthal
