NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES: Robert De Niro, renowned for his roles in films like 'Taxi Driver' and 'Goodfellas', exuded sophistication in a sleek black suit as he attended the star-studded 16th Annual Chanel Tribeca Artists Dinner in New York City on June 12. Accompanying him was his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, with whom he welcomed their seventh child just two months prior in April.
Among the esteemed guests at the glamorous event were Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser and actress Nina Dobrev. De Niro opted for black trousers paired with a suit jacket, complemented by a dark green polo shirt underneath. To complete his ensemble, he slipped into black loafers and walked alongside Chen, whom he has been romantically linked to since 2021.
Chen chose casual comfort, donning a figure-hugging brown tank dress that fell a few inches above her ankles. She added white sneakers for a relaxed feel and a long, white knit sweater to stay warm in the drizzly weather. With her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail, she accessorized her outfit with brown shades and carried a vibrant yellow purse in her hands as they made their way to the main venue.
The Tribeca Film Festival
Variety reported that De Niro co-hosted the Chanel dinner, alongside Jane Rosenthal, Paul Weinstein, and the prestigious French brand itself. The event was held to honor various artists, including Ana Benaroya, Beverly Fishman, and Christie Neptune. Notably, female artists recognized at the dinner were tasked with creating original pieces that would be presented to winners at the 2023 Tribeca Festival.
Inside the restaurant, De Niro was spotted mingling with other guests, engaging in conversations amidst the bustling atmosphere. The actor, along with Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, co-founded the Tribeca Festival in May 2002, originally known as the Tribeca Film Festival until 2020.
In addition to his involvement in the festival, De Niro made an appearance on opening night, attending the special screening of the documentary "Kiss The Future". Accompanied by Tiffany, he graced the red carpet, contributing to the festival's kickoff. The festival will continue until June 18, providing De Niro with further opportunities to immerse himself in the event. Amidst all this, he also celebrated the joyous occasion of becoming a father for the seventh time.
