Claire Danes graces the cover of the February issue of ELLE and to celebrate women in television, the magazine threw a sparkly dinner at one of LA’s most beautiful locations, the Soho House.
Hosted by ELLE Editor-in-Chief Robbie Myers and ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee, together with presenting sponsors Hearts On Fire Diamonds and Wella Professionals, the event brought together a lively group for a celebration of women’s achievements in television.
Guests included Molly Sims, Nicole Richie, Busy Philipps, Madeleine Stowe, Joel McHale, Morena Baccarin, Maria Menounos, and many others, including “Mad Men” costume designer Janie Bryant, who is featured in a Hearts on Fire ad campaign. She, along with other guests like Kim Raver and Jenna Elfman, were outfitted in some of the line’s gorgeous earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets.
Pieces of diamond jewelry also graced the red rose centerpieces on the dinner tables, which also offered floor-to-ceiling views of the Los Angeles skyline.
The evening started off with a red carpet and Moet for all, before Myers officially welcomed all of the attendees to the celebration.
On the menu: burrata, beets and baby kale salad with basil, branzino baked with peppers and cherry tomatoes, Provencal braised short ribs, roasted artichokes and olives, along with baked brussels sprouts with bacon, rosemary garlic roasted potatoes, and grilled broccoli with salted ricotta and pine nuts.
The dessert, apple and blackberry cobbler, was served family style by the Soho House’s attentive staff.
The best after dinner treat was trying on the diamond jewelry, even as unobtrusive security kept a watchful eye to see that none of it walked away.
