THE EVENT After David Tutera whisked guests to France for the over-the-top “Luncheon of the Boating Party” gala last year, who could blame them for eagerly anticipating their next trip. Co-chair Samia Farouki recruited the noted event designer to plan an evening celebrating the magic of art and fi lm associated with Hollywood. THE SCENE There was all the glitz and pageantry of tinseltown: lights, trays of passed champagne and Phillip’s Chair George Vradenburg greeting the ladies (elegant in black and white gowns) at the end of a red carpet. A er a stroll through the museum’s foyer, 300 sat to dine on seafood pavé and guinea fowl at tables placed throughout the gallery. One guest remarked, “What could be be er than listening to a string quartet and dining next to a Picasso?” The other masterpieces were Tutera’s eye-popping assortment of white fl oral arrangements decorating each table. A er tallying 150 stems in her centerpiece, one guest stopped counting. Following dinner, guests strolled over to Anderson House for dancing and desserts. THE GUESTS Jay Gates, Tom Rutherfoord Jr., Patricia Sagon, Ron and Beth Dozoretz, Joyce Hagel, Megan Beyer, Lucky Roosevelt, Beth and Ron Dozoretz and Susan Blumenthal.
