Getting Social at the Serpentine
What: The annual Serpentine Summer Party, this year hosted by Michael Bloomberg, Dasha Zhukova, Maja Hoffman, Zaha Hadid, Alexa Chung, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, the Serpentine’s co-directors Julia Peyton Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Christopher Kane.
When: Thursday, July 2nd.
Where: The Serpentine Galleries, located in Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, in London.
Who: Who wasn’t there really is the better question. In addition to the star-studded hosting committee, guests included Kate Hudson, Lara Stone, Poppy Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Suki Waterhouse, Lottie Moss, James Corden, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ewan McGregor, Erin O’Connor, Naomie Harris, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Why: SelgasCano’s multi-colored creation for the Serpentine’s 15th annual Pavilion served as a backdrop to the evening, which included a performance by Spandau Ballet and a DJ set by Mark Ronson. Between the well-clad partiers and the fine art, the paparazzi couldn’t figure out which way to point their lens.
