CROWN JEWEL
Cher played hostess for a fiery fete.
THE PARTY
Sunset Tower Hotel acted as the perfect backdrop for the launch of Kilian Hennessy and Loree Rodkin’s scented fine jewelry collaboration. Hosted by the one and only Cher, the event brought together Hollywood elite including Melanie Griffith and Dita Von Teese for an evening of cocktails and delicious food.
THE SCENE
During the welcome reception, guests sipped on Veuve Clicquot Champagne and perused the jewelry collection, which was gorgeously displayed throughout the hotel suite. Following cocktails, partygoers like interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Alana Stewart dined on a burrata and tomato salad, chicken paillard, grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and a light chocolate mousse for dessert.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
While the entire evening was spectacular, a hilarious moment between Cher and her good friend Rodkin was the most memorable of the night. As the duo were walking to take their seats, the award-winning singer screamed, “You’re on fire!” to Rodkin, whose long locks had passed over a candle and instantly lit up. Cher saved the day, waving her arms in the air and extinguishing what could have been a very bad hair day. Needless to say, the evening was fired up. ‒Meg mcguire
