This morning, The Salonniere—a website dedicated to the art of entertaining—announced its 2018 Salonniere 100, an annual list honoring America’s 100 best party hosts. This list spotlights honorees from 34 cities and 28 states in the United States and represents a diverse and brilliantly creative group of men and women who share one common trait: they know how to throw one heck of a soiree.
Those who made the list for the first time include:
- Artist Amy Virginia Buchanan and entrepreneur Patrick Janelle; New York
- Kiyomi Buker, social secretary to the Ambassador of Japan; Washington D.C.
- Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber; Los Angeles
- Solange Knowles; New Orleans
- Reese Witherspoon; Los Angeles
