This week, the American Ballet Theatre made its anticipated return to Lincoln Center for the 2022 autumn season. To celebrate, New York's dedicated ballet patrons stepped out in their black-tie best for the company's annual Fall Gala, a glamorous evening of dinner, dancing, and performances held at the Promenade of the David H. Koch Theater.
Guests including Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Coco Rocha, Amy Astley, Anh Duong, Antoni Porowski, and Jean Shafiroff joined ABT CEO and Executive Director Janet Rollé, and ABT principle dancers Misty Copeland, James Whiteside, Isabella Boylston, and Calvin Royal III for the festivities, which kicked off with the the world premiere of choreographer Christopher Rudd’s new ballet Lifted, created with an all-Black cast and creative team with costumes designed by fashion world favorite Carly Cushnie.
