Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva and Raquel Chevremont from RHONY were at the Annual Save Venice Ball hosted at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. It’s a VERY fabulous event and a real who’s who of NYC society attend. This year’s theme was ‘The Banquet of Cleopatra’. The event this year was generously sponsored by Oscar de la Renta, Pasquale Bruni, and Casa Tua.
Attire for the Annual Save Venice Ball called for black-tie and masks inspired by ancient Egyptian opulence. Vibrant and celestial hues, gilded accents, mosaics, and sequins, evoking Cleopatra’s lavish court.
Getting film clearance would be very difficult for this type of event. Would say it’s a good sign that things were moving towards contracts and filming though…
