The Floral-Filled Scene At Save Venice's Annual Masquerade Ball

by Guest of A Guest · April 15, 2024

There is no surer sign of spring on the Upper East Side than the annual parade of masked Save Venice partygoers.

Well, that and the Park Avenue tulips...

This past Friday a flock of over 400 florally inspired fashion and philanthropy scene staples swanned their way to The Plaza Hotel's positively verdant ballroom, chatting and dancing the night away while raising more than $1.2 million for the preservation of historic art and architecture in Venice, Italy.

The theme of this year's sold-out black tie soirée, La Primavera, was present at every turn. As always, Co-Chair and event designer Bronson van Wyck transformed the space - walls dripping with flowers, full-sized trees sprouting in between tables - while guests displayed a most sartorially impressive sense of occasion.

Jacquelyn Jablonski, Ivy Getty, Jenna Lyons, Tina Leung and more donned floral frocks by the evening's sponsor, Oscar de la Renta. Kate Young and Huma Abedin sported Lafayette 148. Dorothy Wang, Nicky Hilton, Jordan Roth and Micaela Erlanger took their looks a festive step further with blooming headpieces. And of course, there was the odd, noticeable guest who seemed to have no clue at all there was a theme.

Curious to see who wore what?
