Burberry Party - Skyline Gets Lit, Guests Don't

Yesterday was the first official Burberry Day in New York City, and was celebrated appropriately -- with serious style. According to WWD, celebs like Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy, Orlando Bloom, Molly Sims, Rose McGowan, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley braved the inclement weather to attend a party toasting the brand's new New York HQ on Madison Avenue, as well as the addition of a lighted Burberry sign to the NYC skyline.

The party, held atop the New York Palace Hotel, included live music and a light show, as well as tunes spun by Alexa Chung. But, it was lacking in one very important aspect -- booze. WWD reports the party was dry by 9:30, leading some guests to duck out early.

Burberry - The Final Countdown

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News



Get your calendars ready, tomorrow (Thursday, May 28 ) has been declared "Burberry Day" by New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg. (Yes, you still have to work and no, you don't have to wear plaid!) The New York skyline is about to be changed forever -- check out the time lapse video of the Burberry sign above to get your own countdown started!

In addition to opening its new Madison Avenue headquarters, the brand intends to use its new Burberry Foundation to contribute half a million dollars to local youth projects that help kids realize their potential through creative outlets.

Additionally, according to WWD, our favorite British purveyor of plaid will announce plans to double its NYC retail presence. If all of that isn't reason to break out the good champers, we don't know what is.

Of course, we're not the only ones who think a party is in order. Tomorrow evening, a 50-foot-long Burberry logo at the top of the brand's building will light up, while the 54th floor of the Palace Hotel will serve as the location of a super stylish soiree for 300 fashionable guests.

Celebrities from both the States and across the pond will be in attendance, including the Olsen twins, Blake Lively, Peaches Geldof, Sean Lennon, Helena Christensen, Nicky Hilton and more.

Real Life Gossip Girls Toast "The Perfect Summer Accessory"

Truman Capote himself might have imagined the scene: A fresh spring night on the Upper East Side, society ladies in cocktail dresses, and an elegant townhouse with a gossipy provenance.

"This was Montgomery Clift's place, it's where he used to booze it up with Marilyn Monroe," one guest stage-whispered on the stunning second floor, decorated with fine art photography, enlarged party pictures of Old Hollywood celebrities, zebra-print carpet and just two or three original Andy Warhols. "In that corner, by the bar, is where he's supposed to have died."

When we think of Olivia Wilde many words come to mind – sexy, colorful, playful, simple, and sophisticated.

Filed under: Get the Look

jessica bielThough she doesn't make red carpet appearances often, Jessica Biel is one of our favorite starlets, bar none. Like Miss Cameron Diaz, Jessica epitomizes tomboy chic. Both leading ladies also prove that sporty simply doesn't equally dowdy. Or baggy for that matter. It means chic and comfortable – a key for anyone who wants to feel confident in their clothes. Just look closely at Jessica's dress.
