On Thursday night, Tiffany & Co. hosted a star-studded, intimate dinner at the Beverly Estate in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of its Blue Book 2024 Céleste collection. The venue, famous for its roles in films like “The Godfather,” provided a backdrop steeped in Hollywood glamour for the reveal of their latest high jewelry collection.
Guests stepped out of their SUVs and entered the grand foyer of the estate, following blue-carpeted floors to two rooms displaying the collection. One room showcased original pieces by jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger, an important figure at Tiffany & Co. from the 1950s to the late 1970s, known for his intricate designs inspired by celestial bodies and fantasy realms. In the adjacent room, Tiffany & Co. unveiled the new collection, with pieces that reimagined what Schlumberger might have envisioned for a collection today.
Outside, guests mingled by a travertine fountain before finding their seats for dinner. The main topic of conversation? Naturally, the jewelry. Faces of Tiffany & Co.’s high jewelry collection, like Anya Taylor-Joy, shone brightly with pink spinels and diamonds from the new line. Reese Witherspoon wore a necklace from the Blue Book 2024 Tiffany Céleste Collection with a Fancy Intense Yellow diamond that was quite hard to miss. Complementing Usher’s all-white suit were two iconic Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany ‘Bird on a Rock’ brooches.
But they weren’t the only glittering guests. In attendance were Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Gal Gadot, Emily Blunt, Nancy Ajram, Ai Tominaga, Adria Arjona, Gabrielle Union, Olivia Wilde, Laura Harrier, Suki Waterhouse, Quinta Brunson, Valentina Ferrer, Michelle Salas, and Diego Boneta.
“It’s always very emotional because it’s two years of work between finding the stones, creating the pieces, and taking the inspiration from Jean Schlumberger,” said Alexandre Arnault to the star-studded room. “Most of us, including myself, have to give everything back tonight. I’m sorry about it… Thank you, enjoy. Drink some wine, and give us the jewelry back.” The room broke into laughter as glasses of wine were poured and plates of Spring Panzanella salad were placed on tables.
