Dior’s Glamorous Evening in Los Angeles
An intimate celebration showcasing the intersection of fashion and film.
Effortlessly Elegant Attendees
The evening was a showcase of sophisticated style as attendees arrived in an array of stunning outfits. Charlize Theron made a striking entrance in a classic black tuxedo paired with a daring bra and chic stilettos. In contrast, Lee embraced a relaxed yet stylish look with denim and a feminine pussy bow blouse. Meanwhile, Russell and the Jenner sisters each flaunted their unique interpretations of the timeless little black dress.
A Stunning Venue
Guests were enveloped in the grandeur of the new Peter Marino-designed four-story maison, which officially opened in late September. This luxurious venue pays homage to Dior’s enduring connection to Hollywood. Anderson, a guest at the event, expressed his admiration, stating, “Christian Dior did a show here a long, long time ago.” He reflected on the historical significance of Dior’s influence during Hollywood’s golden era.
The Fashion-Film Connection
Anderson also noted the intriguing relationship between fashion and cinema. His own work echoes this synergy, having collaborated with renowned director Luca Guadagnino on costumes for upcoming projects like “Challengers” and “Artificial.” He shared, “I love being in LA because it feels like I’m on set in a film. It’s like an escape for me.” This sense of cinematic magic permeated the evening’s festivities.
An Exclusive Gathering
The celebration took place in a private VIP salon on the fourth floor, accessible only via a discreet elevator. Guests savored Champagne served in Dior’s signature cannage crystal flutes while mingling on the elegant terrace. The atmosphere was one of sophistication and camaraderie, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
A Culinary Journey
The gathering then transitioned to the dining room, where opulent long tables were adorned with Dior’s Toile de Jouy china. The exquisite menu, crafted by three-star Michelin chef Dominique Crenn, featured a delightful array of dishes. Diners enjoyed caviar paired with egg yolk jam and buckwheat madeleines, followed by dry-aged tuna tartare and violette de mer accompanied by beurre blanc and uni béarnaise.
Culinary Excellence at Monsieur Dior
Chef Dominique Crenn, who oversees Monsieur Dior on the building’s third floor—the first Dior restaurant outside Paris—ensured that the culinary experience mirrored the event’s high-fashion aesthetic. Each dish was not only a feast for the palate but also a celebration of artistic presentation and flavor, perfectly aligning with the evening’s theme.
