What Steve Martin, Sigourney Weaver and More Wore to Parties in NYC
The New York Times At the New York Botanical Garden and a colorful gathering at MoMA, attendees showed off flashy pastels and florals.
As June ushered in warmer weather in New York City, guests at two garden-themed events left layers at home and wore their best florals.
On June 1, the New York Botanical Garden hosted its annual Conservatory Ball. Guests, who were driven in golf carts to the plaza outside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, mingled over drinks, surrounded by glittery vulture sculptures that were part of the artist Ebony G. Pattersons new installation at the garden. After cocktails, attendees made their way into the conservatory for dinner and dancing. The ball raised more than $1.3 million, according to organizers, and the guest list included Sigourney Weaver, a chair of the event.
A few days later, on June 6, under a haze of wildfire smoke, the Museum of Modern Art hosted a Party in the Garden, honoring the artists Barbara Chase-Riboud and Ed Ruscha as well as Marlene Hess, a board vice chair of MoMA, and Darren Walker, the president of the Ford Foundation. Artists, philanthropists and curators sipped drinks in the museums sculpture garden. After dinner, attendees danced to performances by MUNA, Romy, and Coco & Breezy.
