THEShe revealed the nickname herself. «Friends call me “Ice Princess”. And not because she often wears the same color hair as Elsa’s Frozenbut because I don’t let myself be dominated by emotions” he writes Ilary Blasi in his autobiography, How stupidjust published by Mondadori. Perfect guest, therefore, for the reopening of themost iconic hotel in Disneyland Paris, the five-star hotel where in the corridors you can meet not only Elsa, but Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine and all the other heroines. And where, in the three days of celebrations, they crossed paths the stars of French cinema (does a certain “Isabelle Adjani” remind you of anything?), as well as a star of a different kind: Christian Louboutin.
Dreams and reality
Building on the success of the documentary Unique (it was in first place in the top ten of Netflix Italy, and fourth in the international top ten of the platform) and the excellent start of sales of the memoir, the presenter returned to the “scene of the crime”: the last official photo with Francesco Totti was taken right at Disneyland, in September 2021. «Imagination has no age and dreams are forever» Ilary posted at the time (quoting Walt Disney) together with the photo on her Instagram accounts.

Reality has – at least so far – denied it: dreams are not forever. But it’s not necessarily a tragedy: «Happiness, sadness, enthusiasm, nostalgia, pain… I let them fill me – I live them to the full, let’s be clear – however I safeguard the command bridge of the ship: that space must remain clear for action, in case of unforeseen events” he explains in How stupid, which she considered “a story of pain and rebirth, mine”. With her this time there were her daughters, Chanel and Isabel, and her partner, Bastian Muller: the “embodiment” of her turning over a new leaf.
An Instagrammable weekend
Three days extensively documented on his Instagram: from the children’s make-up room at the Disneyland Hotel (Isabel was transformed into a perfect Belle), to the Spa (with a massage and facial program tailor-made for minors), to the most popular games in the park: Spider-Man WEB Adventure, first and foremost.

Emily or? Vince Mélanie (Laurent)
Among the French guests, a small twist: Lucas Well doneor the Gabriel of Emily in Paris, he showed up with his girlfriend. Not exactly a stranger: she is Mélanie Laurent, former protagonist of Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino and of The concert by Radu Mihaileanu, now also appreciated as a director (see The Crazy Dance on Prime Video, so to speak). Galeotto was the set: last summer they shot – he in front, she behind the camera – Sulak about Bruno Sulak, a French criminal known as “the gentleman thief”. And while Mélanie thinks about editing, Lucas (son of a footballer and a singer) is now busy with the fourth season of the series with Lily Collins who gave him fame.
Real couple
Surrounded by princesses, smiling between the flashes, too the new royal couple of French cinema: Virginie Efira And Niels SchneiderThat we have just seen as a romantic writer in Woody Allen’s latest film, A stroke of luck – Coup de Chanceand which we will see, hopefully soon (no one has yet decided to buy the rights for Italy) in the magnificent series beyond the Alps D’argent et de sangwith Olga Kurylenko.
The slipper (Cinderella, step aside)
If there are shoes that make you dream as much as Cinderella’s, they are those designed by Christian Louboutin, object of desire with the unmistakable red sole, favored by stars and beyond: Christine Lagarde is also a fan. But the shoe designer was not at Disneyland Paris in a professional capacity, but in that of a father…
