More than half a century on from Truman Capote’s
Black and White Ball, a new generation of swans
returned to Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel for a ballo in
maschera for Save Venice. The Artist and Muse
theme captured the imagination of New York High
Society, who came to dine and dance under red,
glitter-covered Roman statues. Hamish Bowles
handed out the prizes for best masks – though
co-hostess Lauren Santo Domingo was unable to
take part, having left hers behind as she rushed out
the door en route to the venue. With $1.2 million
raised for La Serenissima, it was another late night
in the city that never sleeps.
