Last Night's Parties: The Frick Collection Hosts Its Young Fellows Celestial Ball, A Hotel Life Celebrates One Year & More!

The Frick Collection Young Fellows Celestial Ball

Where: The Frick Collection Other details: Last night, The Frick Collection hosted its 15th Annual Young Fellows Celestial Ball sponsored by designer PAUL KA and inspired by the special exhibit Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Hill Collection. Guests entered the enchanting Garden Court, where they sipped on champagne and mingled beside the fountain in the center of the room. The ceiling was lit with constellations to reflect the celestial theme, which served as the perfect replacement to the night sky on a chilly night. The crowd was dressed to the nines, with tuxedo-clad gentlemen treading carefully as to not step on the multitude of delicate, flowing gowns. Guests including Sea of Shoes' Jane Aldridge, DJ Hannah Bronfman, and broker Melanie Lazenby, who all stunned in their elegant dresses, while James Marshall and PAUL KA's Serge Cajfinger looked downright debonair. As the night wore on, the more enthusiastic guests filled the Music Room, where a DJ played chart-toppers all night for the crowd to dance to. Others, however, took the pleasure of enjoying a private view of the Frick Collection's vast array of fine art in the lavish rooms surrounding the Garden Court. A particular point of interest among the observers was the Jean-Honore Fragonard room, where a small crowd had gathered to view his unmistakably lush and exuberant paintings. Back in the Garden Court was the real highlight of the night, an appearance by Bill Cunningham. The legendary New York Times photographer was snapping away on his 85th birthday following a private reception for his new show at the New York Historical Society. Guests eagerly approached the photographer, asking to take their own photos of him, the true professional politely declined so as not to miss the perfect shot of a twirling gown or an alluring smile.
