Los Angeles has its fair share of spectacular, jaw-dropping venues, but perhaps none feel as exclusive as private homes. On Saturday, Nivea and designer Shay Todd hosted a pool party and barbecue at a French-inspired Bel Air home on Bellagio Road, listed for sale in the $20 million range. The venue, whose backyard overlooks the 16th hole of the Bel Air Country Club golf course, was the dramatic backdrop for the retreatlike summer event, where Nivea-branded beach balls floated on the pool. Best Events produced. BrandLink Communications handled PR for Shay Todd, and PMK-BNC for Nivea. Khloe Kardashian Odom and Paris Hilton were among the guests.
