Guests\u2014among them cover stars Adam Scott,\u00a0Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>,\u00a0Emma Cline<\/a>, Naomi Watts,\u00a0Vinnie Hacker<\/a>, and\u00a0Sombr<\/a>, as well as Ego Nwodim, Natasha Lyonne, Ciara Miller,\u00a0B.J. Novak<\/a>,\u00a0Lisa Rinna<\/a>\u00a0and Harry Hamlin, Joey Bada$$, Anne Imhof,\u00a0Jane Krakowski<\/a>,\u00a0Wisdom Kaye<\/a>, and Nathan Fielder\u2014meandered through CULT100 honoree Carol Bove\u2019s ongoing exhibition with drinks in hand. The show marks the artist\u2019s first museum survey, filling the rotunda with more than a quarter-century of work. Towering metal constructions mingle with more intimate wall-hanging compositions. We even spotted Babyface making his way up the spiral.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the ground floor, guests settled into the velvet-draped Valentino Beauty lounge. Replete with the entire Anatomy of Dreams fragrance collection, attendees perused the scents and plucked specialty cocktails inspired by the line from silver trays. The intimate space pulled shoulder-to-shoulder traffic all night long, and those who couldn\u2019t make it in missed Nicholas Alexander Chavez taking selfies against the plush backdrop.<\/p>\n

As the lights dimmed, the crowd drew toward the stage as cover star\u00a0Keke Palmer<\/a> kicked off the night\u2019s programming. Sporting a lime green blazer with an oversized Valentino cravat, she playfully gassed up her fellow CULT100 honorees. \u201cI want to take a moment to shout out a few\u2014not all, because if I did, we\u2019d be here all night, and while I believe in culture, I also believe in respectable bedtimes,\u201d she said, sparking peals of laughter below. Editor-in-Chief Sarah Harrelson arrived onstage next, to introduce her attendees to the world of the CULT100. \u201cThe 100 extraordinary people on this year\u2019s CULT100 list remind us that culture is not something we simply observe,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s something we shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Scott<\/a>, with his trademark laid-back charm, introduced Daniel Caesar to kick off the night\u2019s musical performances. The singer is set to tour across the States this fall with last year\u2019s album, Son of Spergy. (Our devoted readers can keep an eye on our newsstands for more\u2026 For now, a rendition of \u201cWho Knows\u201d will have to satisfy.)<\/p>\n

The lilting opening notes of an acoustic set filled the towering space next as\u00a0Eartheater<\/a> took the mic, introduced by Vinnie Hacker. As the musician departed, she nodded to the next act, Fcukers, who guided the evening\u2019s descent into revelry. HorsegiirL, the Berlin-based musical artist with a signature equine snout, trotted in next, transforming the final hour of the evening into a full-on barn burner. Her debut album, Nature Is Healing, drops June 5.<\/p>\n

As the night came to a close, guests spilled onto the street for a last chat and cigarette, many with CULTURED\u2019s silver gift bags teeming with fragrant roses, a few bottles from Valentino\u2019s Anatomy of Dreams series, and, of course, a copy of the CULT100 issue. With the treasures claimed in the blink of an eye, the rest of the night\u2019s attendees snagged a magazine\u2014emblazoned with one of the issue\u2019s 12 cover stars\u2014on their way back into the spring air. The only competition, it would seem, for a more eclectic, irreverent, unpredictable evening? Whatever we dream up next year.<\/p>\n
