Though she couldn’t attend the fete in person, Naomi Watts, who is styled by Jeanann Williams, joined in on the festivities from afar. “Congratulations to The Wall Group for 25 years! Happy anniversary, guys. That’s crazy.” the Love Story actress said. “Special shout out to my great, great friends Kate Stirling and Ali Bird: I love you guys. I could never look like this if it wasn’t for your team of brilliant artists.” (Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pratt, and Mamoa also shared their gratitude.)
Bryce Scarlett—the hairstylist behind Margot Robbie’s viral looks during the Barbie press tour— was over the moon to be surrounded by his fellow artists. “Every time I turn around, I say ‘Hi!’ to four people,” he said. Ash K Holm, an acclaimed celebrity makeup artist—who works with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, and Amelia Gray—echoed the sentiment, marveling at the sheer amount of talent under one roof. “Let’s just talk about all the inspiring people that are in this room,” she gushed. “They make the world go round in beauty and fashion terms.”
Guests, who also included singer Slayyyter, aesthetician Shani Darden, and nail artist Betina Goldstein, caught up over speciality cocktails—aptly named Call My Agent, NY State Of Mind, The Double Decker, and Music City Spritz—and listened to hits like Murder on the Dancefloor and fueled up on chicken tenders, pigs in a blanket, and tuna tartare. What better way to take a beat pre-Oscars, before getting back to business on Thursday ahead of the big day.
