Must Have: The yellow bathrobe

Clearly, the yellow bathrobe is having a moment. Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman both wear a monogrammed saffron wrap during different scenes in Wes Anderson’s new 13-minute short, ‘Hotel Chevalier.’ You can download it and watch it here. Note that Portman’s sleek gray coat was designed by Marc Jacobs for the film.

On an equally, if not even more sexy, front: Sean Connery prefers to mimic a melting pat of margarine in this portrait painted by his wife, Micheline. You could knit a scarf with his prodigious chest hair.

Want in? Check out this velvet and terry blend from Acqua di Parma that you can buy here for $235. Alas, that nifty ‘Hotel Chevalier’ monogram doesn’t come with the robe. I suggest you come up with your own hotel name like ‘Villa Erotica’ or ‘Chateaux Minx.’ FYI: I just returned from interviewing Wes Anderson in N.Y. for a cover story for next week’s paper. You can read all about it Oct. 7. I talked to Marc Jacobs too and he’s an inspiring interview.
