Los Angeles, March 28 – Beverly Hills is walking all over Tom Ford. The megastar fashion designer, freshly departed from Gucci, was honored with a plaque on the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style on Sunday evening. An entire block of Rodeo was closed off, and the ceremony and party were held in a big black tent-like enclosure (no roof) in the street. Natch, most guests like Sandra Bernhard, Anjelica Huston, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Nicky Hilton, Lucy Liu, Nia Vardalos, a big-haired Kate Beckinsale and Heather Graham were wearing Ford designs, and even though many women at the party were wearing identical Gucci shoes, no one ran out screaming. Very civilized.

We figure that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, singer Jewel and Val Kilmer all took the same bus, since they all arrived at the same time. Pamela Anderson, in signature white tank top, showed up quite late with ex-hubby Tommy Lee. Tom Ford is only the second designer to get a plaque on the Walk of Style (the first was Giorgio Armani), so it isn’t really a “walk” yet, just two gold plaques in the ground.
