Julia Koch, Melania Trump (four months’ pregnant)

We caught up with then-four-months'-pregnant Melania Trump (since, gave birth to an 8.5 lb. baby boy, Barron William Trump), enjoying the Chanel Camellia Luncheon (named after the favorite flower of designer "Coco" Chanel) and fashion show, benefiting the New York Botanical Garden. A glowing Melania, also a chair of the luncheon, told us about her fast-approaching motherhood. "I have five months to go and I'm feeling great," she said. When asked whether she's having a boy or girl, she responded with a coy giggle, "I don't know yet." Yeah, right, we bet you do!

Chanel models showcased the 2006 cruise collection down the runway, which was surrounded by charming tables, each decorated with rose-covered centerpieces of the Eiffel Tower.

The elite seen cruising the luncheon: Chanel USA President Maureen Chiquet, Audrey Gruss, Sloane Barnett, Nathalie Kaplan, Julia Koch, Coco Kopelman, Dominique Browning, Barbara Tober, Friederike Biggs, Andrea Stark, Gillian Miniter, Anne Grauso, and Sheri Babbio.

All the guests were gifted a beautiful Chanel charm bracelet!
