Rosie Huntington-Whiteley cleverly chose a high-necked black velvet gown for the Tiffany & Co. dinner in Paris, which was akin to a jewelry tray for the pièce de résistance of her outfit: a Lovebirds pendant, part of the new Bird on a Rock by Tiffany collection.
Laura Harrier, Emma Chamberlain, Camille Cottin, Natalia Bryant, Alton Mason and Paloma Elsesser were among guests who roamed the sprawling terrace of Le Grand Café nibbling caviar-topped blinis and sipping Champagne before sitting down for a four-course dinner.
“I feel very sparkly,” Harrier said, fiddling with her Three Leaves ear clips “that sort of climb up my ear.”
The actress chose a strapless Christopher Esber gown to set off her jewelry, and discussed her role in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic in which she portrays music executive Suzanne de Passe, who early in her career developed The Jackson 5’s wardrobe.
Harrier relished the “incredible gamut of costumes,” spanning from the ’60s through the ’80s. “I think it’s really amazing to be able to play with so many different decades,” she said, while confessing that the ’90s remain her favorite fashion era.
Host of the dinner, Lauren Santo Domingo also went strapless in a minimalist column by The Row with a fin of seam allowance decorating the back.
“When you’re wearing a jewelry set, you want to feel at ease,” she advised. “You want something to be elegant but a little bit cool at the same time.”
Santo Domingo was wearing two hats at the event, firstly representing the Bird on a Rock collection, for which Nathalie Verdeille, Tiffany’s chief artistic officer of jewelry and high jewelry, reimagined Jean Schlumberger’s iconic design.
But as Tiffany’s artistic director for the home category, Santo Domingo also selected the dinnerware for the event.
“It’s called Tiffany T True in gold,” she said. “I’m kind of obsessed with gold on the table right now. It looks absolutely beautiful in this space.
“The difference with fashion is that [homewares] are things that, hopefully, we want you to have forever.”
