Tilda Swinton Went to the Countess’ Cabaret

Welcome to the Bravo-verse, Tilda Swinton. On Sunday, former Real Housewives of New York favorite Luann de Lesseps posted proof that the Academy Award–winning actress had, in fact, stopped by the Countess’ Cabaret in London. “You never know who’s going to pop into your cabaret show ????????????❤️ #tildaswinton,” she wrote of her A-list guest. Swinton, of course, is currently slated to star alongside Julianne Moore in Pedro Almodóvar’s The Room Next Door, but it is her presence at the low-culture triumph that is Marry, F, Kill that proves once and for all that she has taste.

The Countess’ Cabaret, according to a show synopsis, features “personally curated pop tunes & show tunes, as well as selections from [de Lesseps’s] original penned hits ‘Money Can’t Buy You Class,’ ‘Feelin’ Jovani,’ ‘Girl Code,’ ‘Chic C’est La Vie’ and ‘Viva La Diva.’” And with Swinton’s name suddenly attached to her long-running cabaret show, Luann sure does seem to be “Feelin’ Jovani.” Per Us Weekly, de Lesseps first mentioned Swinton’s interest in the show while appearing on Tori Spelling’s podcast earlier this month. “[Swinton] said, ‘Darling, I love what you do. You can see it gives you so much joy, and you’re spreading joy to everyone around you. It’s a beautiful thing to watch,’” the RHONY star said of their interaction. A week later at a drag brunch in New York, de Lesseps told the outlet that Swinton had invited her to Scotland after attending her show.

While we don’t have details of how a former Housewife and one of Hollywood’s crown jewels kept each other occupied, it seems this budding friendship might be here to stay. Life really is a cabaret, Countess.
