Elle’s annual Women in TV celebration took over West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont in January. The residential-like, understated hotel is not known for events with over-the-top decor, and accordingly, Elle’s event relied on candlelight and understated flowers for a dramatic look against glass windows.

In October, InStyle presented its second annual awards at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. A black and white motif created a sense of elegance and intimacy for the A-list crowd.
