.openingceremony's 20th-anniversary party boasted an absurdly stacked guest list: including Chloë Sevigny, Karen O, Spike Jonze, and more.
At one point a series of blinding pap flashes went off , which my friend Kim and I thought were for our fashion by way of food influencer friend Pierce Abernethy — until we realized they were for Rowan Blanchard. Ella Emhoff and Sam Hine, who I somehow see around New York more than many of my close friends, were also one of maybe two straight couples in attendance, and briefly chatted on the dance floor before leaving.
People congregated around the bar, drinking Lunar hard seltzer and too sweet 818 tequila margaritas until the party kicked-off with a dance performance incorporating ballet, modern, contemporary, gymnastics, and plenty of vogueing, choreographed by’s Jason Rodriguez, aka Slim Xtravaganza, who also performed. Later, we saw Rodriguez casually vogueing for friends in the corner.
Every few minutes Kim would alert me to another sighing: “See that guy in the leather bucket hat? He did [xyz fashion thing]. See that guy with the pearl choker? See that person with the body jewelry?” This makes sense: Leon and Lim are in their late 40s and have amassed a staggering number of friends and collaborators in two decades, making for a celebration not just of OC, but of everything that’s ever inspired OC.
Afterwards, things got a little sloppier on the dance floor. An inebriated girl in a Playboy belt told me I was wearing “her favorite outfit of the night.” The party ended promptly at 2 AM, when the house lights came on to reveal guests taking the posters off the walls and conspicuously rolling them up to take home as souvenirs. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t also fish two intact ones out of the recycling.
