The event was attended by over 150 guests including Naomi Campbell, Miroslava Duma, Jessica Hart, Lexi Boling, Ben Allen, Maria Borges, Fiona Byrne, Cleo Wade, Margot, Edward Enninful, Katherine Bernhardt, Marianne Boesky, Will Cotton, Rose Dergan, Christophe de Menil, Douglas Friedman, David Morehouse, Caspar Jopling, Misha Nonoo, Danielle Bernstein, Jessica May Underwood, Indre Rockefeller, Peter Brandt Jr, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, Trent Fraser, Phil Winser, Joey Jalleo, Martine, Alexandre and Prosper Assouline, Sofie Elgort, Lexi Bowes-Lyon, Jessica Joffe and Stavros Niarchos.
