Upon entering, guests were greeted by ski suit servers pouring Champagne Bollinger’s Special Cuvée from magnum sized bottles. During the cocktail reception, Marcia Gay Harden and her daughter enjoyed a photo moment in the Bollinger branded chair lift skis. Artist Bradley Theodore live painted a one of a kind portrait of iconic singer Diana Ross, while guests including Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross — Ross’ daughter-in-law and son — enjoyed trips to the Bollinger bar before being seated for dinner. Partygoers were treated to an incredible performance from the legend herself following dinner.
