Who Was There: Andre Balazs, Andrew Weir, Michael Stipe, Helena Christensen, Helen Lee Schifter, Liev Schrieber, Daniel Kim, Nicole Miller, Selma Blair
Other Details: The evening was hosted by Katie Ford, who happens to be Andre Balazs' ex-wife. The two posed for pictures together, and didn't seem at all troubled by the fact that Andre's rumored current girlfriend, Selma Blair was in attendance as well.

Ann Taylor 2011 Preview Party
Where: Gramercy Park Rooftop
Who Was There: Elizabeth Banks, Katrina Bowdon, Julie Henderson, Olivia Palermo (who has never worn Ann Taylor in her life, I'm sure), Fernanda Motta, Harley Viera-Newton, Cassie Coane, Quiana Grant, Meredith Melling Burke
Other Details: So never thought I'd say this, but Ann Taylor knows how to throw a good party! All their recent parties have attracted a fairly impressive celebrity roster, and have been at great venues. They've done a great job revamping their image lately (swapping out longtime model Christy Turlington for Naomi Watts as a model), and their parties reflect this! Last night's event was full of bloggers, DJ'd by the ultra-hip Harley and Cassie, and included a performance by Au Revoir Simone.
