From Cannes & Toronto to Sundance & Los Angeles, pre-award ceremony/film festival gifting suites have become the epicenter of what is glamorous and soon to be chic. One particular master of these pre-ceremony suites is Nathalie Dubois of Dubois Pellen & Associates. In anticipation of the Emmy Awards Dubois invited primetime’s elite to a three-day gifting event at the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel in Beverly Hills, on September 15 – 17th.
The gifting included food & beverage tastings, fashion pieces & beauty products, as well as personal & entertainment experiences:
The avocado chocolate brownie from restaurant 118 Degrees was shockingly decadent and non-avocado tasting, and the stuffed mushroom was perfection! The “2 Baked Girls” from Kneady Bakery returned this season with classics like their Wookie Cookie and their new pilot treat Elvyn Quick Bread. Carvery Kitchen served up delicious sandwiches, while Una Mas handed out shots of their super smooth tequila minus the salt and featuring orange wedges instead of lime. Curiously genius!
Other returning favorites were sisters and co-founders Elle & Alyanna of Demure Thirty-One. The two showed off their fetching fall colored floral skirts, which were apparently a big hit with Miss Angela Bassett. Dutch lingerie designer, Marlies Dekkers gifted a variety of structurally supportive pieces that ranged from fembot-chic to dainty.
Premier Essential Scents featured oils and soaps that seem to have also caught the attention of Miss Basset. Rounding out the health and beauty category, Airelle Skincare introduced guests to a line of products meant to be uncomplicated enough for some, yet powerful enough for all. The eye/lip treatment was particularly popular.
On the experiential side of the spectrum, guests received large-scale and private invitations to the glamorous grounds and games that the Santa Barbara Polo Club has to offer. While, on a more personal level Truth In Hand CEO Lisa Greenfield spent time with guests to for personal readings, assessments, and guidance.
The event was altogether gorgeous and delicious, from the penthouse setting and the clear stunning views to charming people clamoring with excitement for the upcoming awards, parties and celebrity sightings.
