Styling hostes

Futuristic models offered masquerade masks to guests at the entrance.

The gala also involved an auction and staff dressed in flapper costumes.

The Price Is Right wrap party had a '70s disco theme.

Also incorporated into the color scheme were the outfits the waitstaff wore. SPEC worked with Mary Giuliani Catering to execute the idea, which had male servers in white shirts with red bow ties and suspenders.

Passed snacks included crispy foie gras spring rolls with peach relish.

Two staffers dressed in steampunk costumes carrying an oversize (but lightweight) gilded frame wandered the reception room, encouraging guests to pose for photos while framed inside. A stationary green-screen photo booth was also set up in the foyer, along with steampunk accessories such as goggles, hats, and parasols.

Mother Nature cooperated with the sunset party—the High Line's sixth such Summer Party. Rain tents were on hold as a contingency, but were not used.

Staff inside Tenjune wore ringmaster outfits.

Servers donned maids' costumes.
