Lighting

After the conclusion of the televised ceremony, guests entered the after-party through a tunnel of mirrors meant to emphasize the theme of “reflection.”

To contrast last year’s ornate Parisian theme, event designer Tony Schubert wanted to create a modern space that evoked a chic, modern nightclub.

The colorful lighting changed throughout the evening, bouncing off the mirrored walls to create prisms of light.

Fern walls added contrast to the sleek space.

Sponsor L’Oréal Paris hosted a juice bar and makeup touch-ups.

It was the 22nd year that People, the Entertainment Industry Foundation, and SAG connected for the gala. They were joined for the first time this year by official co-sponsor TNT and TBS.
