A slew of A-list favorites like Michelle Williams, Kanye West and Miranda Kerr descended upon Bob and Dolores Hope‘s John Lautner-designed home earlier this month (which is currently on the market for $25 million) to check out designer Nicolas Ghesquiere’s astounding collection.

500 guests sipped Ruinart champagne while watching models in kabuki-style makeup done by Pat McGrath sauntering down the sultry runway on May 7th.

Ghesquiere’s Cruise collection consisted of items like maxi-skirts, Victorian-style dresses, full-length leather gowns and open-back jumpsuits.

After the feature attraction, the crowd gathered for an al fresco dinner at the Gene Autry estate in Palm Springs followed by a Neon Carnival-esque bash filled with bumper cars and a mini crane machine filled with LV wallets.
