Photo: Dina Litovsky
The social calendar in November was packed with events all over the city that brought out some of the biggest names in fashion, art, and culture. At the Guggenheim International Gala, hosted by Dior, Anna Wintour dined while Judith Corrente donned Dior Haute Couture. Rooney Mara showed up in Givenchy at Cartier’s 100th anniversary of La Panthère and Naomi Campbell, clad in Tom Ford, mingled with 50 Cent at the American Museum of Natural History’s Fall Gala.
The Cut sent photographer Dina Litovsky and a crew of party reporters to capture the most social month of the year. Click ahead to see New York’s party set bring out its finest finery.
