By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger Photographer: George Whylie Videographer: Maxine NolanNew York’s fashion and celebrity elite came out to toast the Jazz Age at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Ball on Thursday evening, April 18, 2013.
Celebrities flocked to Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center to celebrate Tiffany & Co.’s latest Blue Book Collection,which is not only inspired by the New York Jazz Age but is also timed just right as the epitome of the roaring 20’s, “The Great Gatsby” is scheduled to hit theatres on May 10, 2013 starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan and directed by Baz Luhrmann. Luhrmann is already working on his next project that he is very excited about taking him back to Broadway.
It was an evening of luxury as the location was bathed in iconic Tiffany blue light and all attendees entered the event through a Tiffany Blue Box topped with a large white bow.
As they stepped into the ballroom, they were transported to a luxurious art deco, Jazz Age supper club abundantly filled with a Moet & Chandon Champagne tower straight out of Gatsby’s garden. Guests had only to gaze around to see trapeze artists, flapper-esque dancers, a live Jazz band, an orchestra and a surprise performance by Megan Hilty of the hit show “Smash”.
Stars of television and film reunited to socialize and support this evening of great enjoyment. Gwyneth Paltrow was lovely in a blue silky Ralph Lauren gown, simple but extremely flattering. Kate Hudson was vivacious and beaming with smiles in a pastel strapless gown with full-length side slit designed by Reem Acra. Sweet Sarah Jessica Parker chose gold flattering her features. Michelle Williams was donned in black while Carey Mulligan opted for non-traditional in a Victoria Beckham smoking tuxedo suit with slashed sleeves.
Married life is agreeing with Jessica Biel who also looked quite stunning in an blue Elie Saab gown.
Director Baz Luhrmann and his wife who is a costume designer, Catherine Martin, both toasted to 1920’s glamour with Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne featured all throughout the film, “The Great Gatsby”.
Tiffany jewels were notably the most popular accessory of the evening with diamonds adorning most of the gowns as well as showering them with magnificent jewels. Sarah Jessica Parker wore a large round tanzanite necklace surrounded by diamonds and diamond drop earrings accentuated Kate Hudson’s timeless beauty.
Jessica Biel was excited to have met the President and First Lady at a recent event and was eager to tell her friends, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow as they sat sipping Moet & Chandon Champagne.
It was a fairytale evening that came to a magical ending as a line of waiting town cars filled up Fifth Avenue and each guest got into their own car receiving the real royal treatment.
