There VIP guests danced to music spun by Toro y Moi These return festivities introduced attendees—from actors Michelle Williams, Jane Krakowski, and Lucien Laviscount to artists and musicians Chloe Wise, Tyler Mitchell, Miles Greenberg, and more—to the property's $100 million design refresh by Rockwell Group.
