Last night in Malibu, Nina Dobrev, Dakota Johnson, January Jones and Ashley Madekwe joined Hollywood’s reigning “Most Powerful Stylist” Kate Young at the 2nd Annual Maison St-Germain where Kate transformed Little Beach House Malibu into a whimsical, Parisian oasis leading up to Bastille Day (7/14). After debuting in NYC this June, Kate’s LA iteration of her first-ever immersive installation incorporated wild juxtapositions of flavors, styles and sensorial experiences, leading guests on a romantic-yet-whimsical journey throughout the beachfront home.   

Drawing inspiration from traditional la fête nationale celebrations, the stylish crowd – including Catt Sadler, Hart Denton, and Eric Balfour – was invited to enjoy a rare fleeting moment of exuberance in celebration of the thousands of elderflowers harvested once a year to create St-Germain. Each space of the 10,000 square foot property served as a new discovery for guests to explore, layered with botanical arrangements from Jeff Leatham, performances by recognized musician Jess Williamson, a stimulating rooftop jardin designed by Nine & Eye, along with a secluded section for crystal readings from stylist-turned-Shaman Colleen McCann. The sparkly crowd mingled throughout the beachfront oasis, taking selfies in front of the rooftop mirrored arrangements reflecting the avant-garde landscape, while sipping on specialty cocktail pairings by St-Germain Global Ambassador Camille Ralph Vidal.

Kate, dressed in Gucci, and Nina Dobrev, in Zara, along with January Jones, in Shoshanna, danced the night away to beats by music producer Noah Passovoy, while tantalizing hors d’oeuvres were served throughout. Following the event, all florals will be donated to the Sportsmen’s Lodge to spread the joyful spirit of Bastille Day.
