A little over a month after her Los Angeles funeral, friends and family of L’Wren Scott gathered at Manhattan’s St. Bartholomew’s Church on Friday to say another good-bye to the designer, who committed suicide in March. The private memorial service was attended by Anna Wintour, Cathy Horyn, Martin Scorsese, Baz Luhrmann, Graydon Carter, Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, Olivia Munn, Renée Zellweger, and Mick Jagger, who performed a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Just Like a Woman” in his longtime partner’s memory.

In addition to Jagger’s tribute, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Barkin, Rachel Feinstein, and André Leon Talley all eulogized Scott, as did her brother, Randy Bambrough. Her niece, Hannah Bambrough, and Jagger’s son, James, read poems, while Jagger’s grandchildren, Mazie and Zak, read Psalm 23. Finally, Jagger’s backup singer, Lisa Fischer, sang “Amazing Grace.” After the ceremony, Talley told the New York Post, “The mood was beautiful, solemn, elegant. The mood was L’Wren. She would have approved of everything, the flowers, every single thing. It was brilliant.”
