Last Thursday, Amanda Peet celebrated the Cinema Society screening of indie flick “Fantasy Life” with a buzzy afterparty at West Village hotspot Dejavu.
A source told Page Six that the restaurant, known for its caviar bar, was “the place to be” after the show.
“Amanda Peet slipped in with her two daughters and was showered with accolades at the packed bash by her ‘Your Friends and Neighbors’ co-stars, Lena Hall and Mark Tallman,” the source said.
We’re told other stars in attendance “lapped up caviar,” including Helena Christensen, Zosia Mamet, Candace Bushnell, “1923” star Brian Geraghty, director Matthew Shear, and Cinema Society founder Andrew Saffir.
There was also “overflowing” seafood towers and artisanal cocktails.

On Wednesday, royal photographer Chris Jackson hosted a soirée celebrating his new Rizzoli book, “Modern Majesty: The British Royal Family in a New Era” at N. Peal on the Upper East Side.
The Getty Images lensman exclusively spoke with Page Six about his experience working with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
“I’ve always had a great experience photographing them both,” he said of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, adding, “I did all the behind-the-scenes.”
Jackson said that he has “enjoyed” photographing them because “there’s all these different characters in the royal family.”
He also shared his observations of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three kids, sharing that it’s “lovely to watch them kind of growing up.”
Additionally, Jackson reflected on how Kate Middleton and King Charles III leaned on each other during their simultaneous cancer battles.
