There are few occasions when a masquerade is required uniform, but at Friday evening’s Save Venice benefit, everyone was decked to the nines while keeping their identities hidden. Guests—including Bee Shaffer, Tabitha Simmons, Allison Williams, and more—traipsed up the grand staircase at the Pierre hotel and joined designers Prabal Gurung, Mary Katrantzou, Jack McCollough, and Lazaro Hernandez. But what of the masks? Martha Stewart opted for a metallic one in gold, and Coco Brandolini D’Adda blossomed with a floral crown, but it was Di Mondo who truly sparkled in a bejeweled ensemble mimicking a Venetian brooch. Derek Blasberg and Vogue’s Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis took careful note of everyone’s costumes, and Vanessa Traina Snow and Max Snow, Olympia Scarry, Anya Ziourova, and Carlos Mota all grooved to the beat under illustrious chandeliers. The evening, sponsored by Dolce & Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, and Buccellati, raised more than $1 million for the organization, a clear sign that everyone’s efforts to preserve the Italian masters goes far beyond donning a disguise.
