Los Angeles Magazine and Hulu's 'Mid-Century Modern' Celebrate Pride 2025
Los Angeles Magazine and Hulu's 'Mid-Century Modern' Celebrate Pride 2025 originally appeared on L.A. Mag.
Los Angeles magazine tapped into the festive spirit of Pride Month with a party on June 12 at The Maybourne Beverly Hills. Welcoming Matt Bomer, the jubilant Thursday corralled a stylish crop of Los Angeles talent, media and tastemakers to The Terrace below stringed lights and surrounded by pulsing tunes by gay icons like Madonna and Robyn.
The festive evening commemorated Hulu sitcom Mid-Century Modern and June cover stars Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and Nathan Lane, alongside Los Angeles magazine's 50 LGBTQ+ Angelenos making an impact. From the feature, Marco Calvani of Netflix's The Four Seasons, Liv Hewson of Yellowjackets and singer Kalie Shorr were found mingling across the lush Terrace lawn.
Other issue subjects Brian Crano, David Joseph Craig, Jen Cheng, Andrew Christian, Christos Garkinos, Andy Gelb, Anthony Allen Ramos, Ben Sidell, DJ Shai, chef Stuart O'Keefe and KTLA's Chris Holmstrom and Ross Palombo were also in attendance. The alfresco soirée was outfitted with 'Mid-Century Magic' and Los Angeles magazine photo moments by Brandhustle Designs, fitting for capturing memories between bites and sips. Guests enjoyed beverages by San Pellegrino, Mezcal 33, Siren's Tale Vodka, Empress Gin, Skorpios tequila and Klein Epstein Parker, while morsels (including a flavorsome taco bar) came courtesy of The Maybourne and Junior Cookies.
In particular, Hulu's Mid-Century Modern lounge and libations stole the show. The portrait studio by Poltrona Frau offered the perfect setting for sipping cocktails inspired by each character. Arthur Broussard's Smoked Highball stirred Mezcal 33 with honey, fresh lemon juice and soda water, while Jerry Frank's Lavender Gimlet showcased the refreshing power of Empress Gin, lime juice and lavender simple syrup. Bunny Schneider's Starlet Sling add a touch of effervescence to the menu by combining Siren's Tale Vodka with grapefruit juice, St. Germain, sparkling water and lime juice.
The party got an extra buzz upon the arrival of Bomer, who joined Los Angeles magazine publisher Chris Gianella and editor-in-chief Jasmin Rosemberg in front of the crowd to reflect on the June issue. 'I want to leave you with my favorite line that Matt said in the cover story,' Rosemberg shared. "[He said,] 'People always want to talk about the problem of what it's like to be a gay actor, but I'm so much more interested in the solution. And I think it's in giving our voices to something that people can identify with.''
