Yara Shahidi, Jessica Chastain and More Celebrate Gucci's Mother's Day Campaign
Ahead of Mother's Day, Gucci celebrated their Mother's Day campaign with Yara Shahidi and her mother, Keri Salter-Shahidi, with a special lunch. The bar space at Manhattan hot spot Borgo was decorated with fresh flowers on Wednesday afternoon as guests mingled over white wine pre-lunch. Joining the Shahidis were Jessica Chastain and her mom Jerri Hastey; Louisa Jacobson; Kate Young; Jason Rembert; Hannah Bronfman; Charlotte Groeneveld; Sabine Getty, and more.

'That was the goal, to bring the spring to New York,' Salter-Shahidi said. 'We're very big on color, and the color affects mood and emotions, so we always naturally skew very bright,' Shahidi added. The pair had spent a day in Rome for the campaign shoot, which felt 'beautifully natural' given how long they have known the team at Gucci. 'What's fun is that Gucci just, not only as a company, but as people, have been friends for such a long time. It's been over 10 years at this point that we've been friends,' Shahidi said. 'We were on set with a lot of people we already love and I think we got to do things that already come naturally.' 'We just got to play more dress up,' Salter-Shahidi added. 'And in Rome,' Shahidi said. While in Italy en route to the shoot, they happened upon a large mural of Shahidi, completely by surprise. 'We drove to a little mall area and there was a painting of you that was three stories high,' Salter-Shahidi said to her daughter, who described the sighting as 'surreal.' For Mother's Day, they usually spend the day in nature somewhere, with this year's plans yet to be set. 'We think about it two days ahead,' Shahidi said. 'We know what's happening in the next 48 hours.' 'Which is fun,' Salter-Shahidi added. 'We stay in the present moment for sure. So we're happy to be celebrating and to be celebrated by Gucci. It's amazing.' Soon after, they joined the rest of the room at the lunch tables, where branzino with smoked chickpeas, a fresh salad and Meyer lemon sorbet were served.

Diane Kruger, Chloe Flower and More Celebrate the Launch of Christian Louboutin Eyewear
'This is my first time playing in sunglasses,' pianist Chloe Flower told the room after playing her first song. 'I can't see anybody but it's great to be here.' If there ever were an occasion to wear shades inside while at the piano, Thursday night's party was the time. The Nines was cleared out and taken over by Christian Louboutin to celebrate their foray into eyewear. Diane Kruger, Francesca Scorsese, Olivia Palermo, Darren Barnet, Jeremy Pope, Law Roach, Sai De Silva and more turned out for the occasion, which featured a special performance by Flower.

Guests sipped passion fruit and tequila cocktails while mingling about. After performing several 'popsicle' songs — that is pop meets classical — Flower took to a small back banquet to chat. 'Comfort is always really important normally, but not when I perform. Louboutin somehow matches everything,' she said. 'I constantly am in weird scenarios where I'm dressing according to what they need. Louboutin is always very feminine. I love the design.' Having released three new singles, Flower will drop her newest album on May 2. Being a role model for women in classical music remains a focus of her career, she said. 'Growing up in classical music, I had never been given a piece of music to learn that wasn't written by a man. From two years old until 25,' she said. 'I didn't know that I could compose until I was in my 20s because it wasn't an option. I think for me that's why promoting women in music and really just being able to bring classical music to a wider audience [is so important].'
