On Saturday evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon over Austin’s stunning Lady Bird Lake, V and Clarins raised a glass to the French brand’s innovative, earth-friendly skincare. With a name that captured the golden light of the evening, the Golden Hour event celebrated Clarins’ iconic power pair: the Double Serum—an anti-aging breakthrough with a dual-phase formula that smooths and brightens the skin—and the Total Eye Lift, known for visibly lifting and smoothing the under eyes in just 30 seconds.

Guests sipped signature cocktails from Utah’s cult-favorite franchise Swig, loved for its unexpected flavor pairings, alongside organic zero-proof sparkling wine from French Bloom. As the night unfolded, attendees enjoyed exclusive James Bond-inspired boat rides on the lake, adding a playful twist to the waterfront gathering. VIPs flew in from across the globe, with appearances from Olivia Jade, Ken Eurich, Ashley Greene, Levi McConaughey, Chris Harrison, Rebecca Donaldson, Mason Gooding, and more. The evening struck a perfect balance between natural beauty and modern city energy—a reflection of Clarins’ unique blend of plant-powered ingredients and cutting-edge science.
