Befitting both her radiance and resilience, Culpo was draped in carats upon carats – topping 25 to be more precise – in a pair of Tiffany diamond earrings and bracelet to match, lighting up a private room filled with thirty of her closest friends and VIPs.

Notable guests in attendance included actress Peyton List – who was also shining bright in diamond rings and earrings from Messika and Maria Canale – alongside her boyfriend Cameron Monaghan of Shameless fame, Caroline Vazzana, Fashion Editor and Influencer – flawless in a full diamond look from David Bader, Kendall Tracewski, Public Relations Lead at Diamond Producers Association, Public Relations Executive Ronn Torossian, Instagram fitness superstar Jen Selter, Jojo the Artist, and Kamal Hotchandani, CEO of Haute Living.

The intimate dinner kicked off with none other than decadent braised short rib risotto, duck and foie gras ravioli, Mediterranean Branzino, and culminated on a sweet note with a chef’s tasting selection of dolci. With an equally-impressive wine selection to match courtesy of Domaine Anderson, Hotchandani raised a Cristal-laden glass mid-feast toasting to the beauty queen, model, actress, designer, businesswoman and philanthropist as Jojo presented her with a custom-designed contemporary art piece.
