New York City Ballet fall Gala 2019 with Sarah Jessica Parker and friends at Lincoln Center NYC

Last night was the Fall Gala for the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center in NY. I was so thrilled to be in the midst of such a radiant crowd lead by the always stunning and everyone's favorite NY Belle of the Ball Sarah Jessica Parker. I was also so happy to see Lizzie Tisch and Indre Rockefeller with their myriad of friends. Zac Possen dressed many of the women who's gowns were fabulous. I have to say Laverne Cox stole the show for me. She arrived late and was asking for a cocktail. The bar had closed but I convinced her I would find her a drink if she would pose for a photo. She did and somehow I found a bartender who saw the desperation in my eyes when I told her I needed a glass of champagne PRONTO!!!!! She found the last bottle hidden under the bar and opened it for me just in time for Laverne to get her drink before being whisked off to the theater.

NEW YORK CITY BALLET GALA DINNER

I have to say The NYC Ballet Fall Fashion Gala is one of the hottest events of the year. Not only does the fabulous Sarah Jessica Parker bring her friends and her fabulous style to this event, it does not take long for everyone to take to the dance floor. And oh how they all dance, guests and dancers alike.
Between the dresses and the flowers that this year hung in the sky to the laughing, dancing crowd this is a night that makes NYC one of the best places to be.

Moma Film Benefit 2011

Who says life is not a bed of Roses? Well last night certainly was a night of shining stars and roses as Moma Film Benefit rolled out the red carpet with a backdrop of fresh red roses to welcome Pedro Almodovar, Alicia Keys who later sang, Anna Wintour, Bruce Weber, Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore and a flock of other movie stars and guests.
After cocktails the guests moved to the theater where Marie-Jose Kravis greeted everyone. Bruce Weber introduced Pedro with a song and said he was taking the opportunity to use it as an audition in the hope of making it into the next film.
Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas sent video messages that were heart felt by all.
The guests then went up stairs to dinner. The room looked amazing. The very talented Raol Avila was responsible for all the decor.
After the main course was served Alicia Keys took to the stage. It is always so amazing to hear her singing live.

New York City Ballet Fall Gala

Last Thursday night was the New York City Ballet gala and the premiere of the collaboration between Peter Martins and Sir Paul McCartney who wrote the music. Keeping it all in the family Stella designed the costumes.
I have never seen so many women in Blue all in the same place at once. They were inspired by the theme of the Ballet called Ocean's Kingdom.
The stars came out to support Sir Paul and in the crowd were Bon Jovi, Angelica Huston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Seinfeld, to name just a few.
After the ballet the guest headed to the tent where they were served a vegan dinner that not only tasted good, was good for the planet.

New York City Ballet

This year the New York City Ballet Gala gave me a seat to watch the ballet. I was mesmerized by the first piece that was inspired by Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth. Firstly the duo was shown on a screen and then the danes came on stage and had me riveted to my seat. After the performance the dinner and dancing followed. Sarah Jessica Parker was beautiful as always and somehow managed to survive the crush of photographers.

School of American Ballet Winter Gala 3/09/09

Last night was the School of American Ballet Winter Gala. I arrived at 6.45pm only to discover I was late. So much for the 7pm call time. It seems the people at the School of American Ballet like to be early. The guests arrived in droves and happily sipped on cocktails. When it was time to go up stairs I made a wild dash to beat the crowd so that I could take a photo of the space. Glorious Food served the dinner that started with Salmon Napoleon, followed by Lamb Stew and ended with a heavenly Chocolate Cake. Thanks to the School staff who found me a seat. After dinner we were graced with a performance by students. It was so beautiful to see all the children on stage. Sarah Jessica Parker lead the list of stars that attended and I am happy to report that they raised over $700,000. That makes it their most successful Gala to date.
