The Mad Hatter Scene At Central Park Conservancy's Annual Chapeau Soirée

by Guest of A Guest · May 2, 2024

    Ah, spring. First come the Park Avenue tulips, next a herd of women donning festively festooned chapeaux shuffling through Central Park on their annual ladies-who-lunch pilgrimage...

    Yesterday, the Central Park Conservancy’s Women’s Committee hosted their Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon, raising $4.6 million to support the park. More than 1,350 guests stepped out for the afternoon affair held in the Conservatory Garden, with everyone from Michael Bloomberg, Katherine Gage Boulud, Susan Magrino and Gillian Miniter to Stefano Tonchi, Stellene Volandes and Sarah Wetenhall sporting, as is tradition, spring-inspired hats for the occasion.
