The SF Ballet's 92nd opening gala fused art, celebrity, and high fashion, featuring guest Ayesha Curry as honorary chair. Although the vibe was somewhat muted compared to previous years, attendees enjoyed a stunning display of dance and design. Curry praised the dancers' unmatched athleticism, while the event buzzed with gossip and excitement over the blending of high society with artistic expression. The evening was filled with glitz, including gorgeous gowns and captivating performances, momentarily transporting guests from the weight of national politics to a world of elegance and creativity.
"These dancers are top of the top of the top athletes," Curry said during opening remarks. "What they do with their bodies is unmatched."
The vibe felt a little subdued from last year, but that was obviously in part from local aficionados making Sophie's Choice on attending this party or the FOG Design + Art opening gala.
With Jelly Bellies stuffed in my purse and flashing lights blinding me at the DJ booth, national politics and all the stress of the world felt very far away indeed.
Honestly I think Zac Posen must have felt a similar sensation, since that's the ballet he chose to design some looks for this season. Not that they wore much at all Wednesday night.
