Angela Bassett Leads the Star Parade at Schiaparelli and Neiman Marcus Cocktail Bash
Key Highlights :
It was a star-studded affair at the Schiaparelli and Neiman Marcus cocktail bash in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Held at the historic John Sowden House, a local landmark that dates back nearly a century, the glittering event welcomed a cavalcade of boldface names, including Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Olivia Wilde, Joey King, and Regina King.
Leading the star parade was the golden girl herself, Angela Bassett. The 65-year-old actress was a standout in a plunging black ensemble that was accentuated with a gleaming gold print. Her clinging blazer-blouse emphasized her hourglass frame and allowed her to showcase her ample cleavage as she posed up a storm for the photographers.
Demi Moore was also a sight to see in a monochrome sweater-skirt combo with a 1960s-chic 'S' print down the front, complementing the cuffs and hemline. She matched her cream top with a sleek pair of towering knee-high stiletto boots, which clashed against her jet-black trousers. As the festivities got rolling, Demi could be seen rubbing shoulders with Angela, both of them flashing their megawatt smiles as the shutterbugs snapped away.
Olivia Wilde draped her enviably svelte figure in a pinstriped trouser suit that betrayed just a slight trace of her enviably taut midriff. Wearing her curtains of caramel hair down in gentle wave, she accessorized with an eye-catching purse whose metallic studs were arranged to look like a face. A similar handbag could be spotted in the hands of Maya Rudolph, and a metallic face could also be seen splashed across Natasha Lyonne's strapless black dress.
Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union, who co-starred in both of the Think Like A Man Movies as well as Chris Rock's Top Five, enjoyed a red carpet reunion. Gabrielle was a sight to see in a sleek moss green jumpsuit that gleamed under the lights as she swanned around the swank affair.
The guest list included influencer Chrishelle Lim in a button-up denim dress as well as billionaire David Steward's movie producer daughter Kimberly. Tony-nominated Slave Play author Jeremy O. Harris could be glimpsed hobnobbing at the fete with fashion designer Law Roach. Meanwhile Janicza Bravo, the director of the rollicking 2021 crime comedy Zola, posed up with her fellow filmmaker Olivia Wilde.
Joey King made a splash in a shimmering gold corset, while Regina King clashed a cherry-red top elegantly against a set of black trousers made of velvet or velour.
All in all, it was a magical evening that saw some of Hollywood's biggest stars come together to celebrate the launch of Schiaparelli and Neiman Marcus' new collection. It's safe to say that the night was a huge success and one that will be remembered for many years to come.
