The Week in Parties
1) As well as something going on in Denver this week, there's also been some tennis! The 8th Annual USTA Serves' OPENing Gala was on Monday: Roger Federer's No. 1 fan Anna Wintour was there, although judging by the look on the face of the man standing behind her, some tennis fans weren't especially impressed by the sight of the Vogue editrix. Other attendees included Martha Stewart, Michael Bloomberg and Diana Taylor, Keisha and Forest Whitaker, Maria Sharapova, Boris Becker, Chris Evert, and Oscar de la Renta. [Wireimage, Getty/Jezebel]
2) On Sunday night Henri Bendel and YSL Beauté celebrated the Gossip Girl-inspired window display by the show's costume designer Eric Daman, who was toasted by most of the cast (but not Blake, Ed, or Chace), Anna Sui, YSL CEO Marc Rey, and throngs of worshipping fans. [The Daily, PMc]
3) On Tuesday, designer Rogan Gregory held a screening of the work of Albert Maysles at his Bowery store, where friends and fans including Jane Mayle, Darrell Hartman, Judi Wong, Julie Gilhart, Tyler Thoreson, and Trent Reznor gathered. [NYO, PMc]
4) On the pool deck of the Empire Hotel on Tuesday night, "fashion insiders" celebrated the launch of a new line of Tide and Downy products. Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Vanessa Minnillo, Lindsay Price, Tim Gunn, Richie Rich and Jorge Ramon all showed up in their very clean, very fresh-smelling finest. [PMc]
