INSIDE

Red, white and black-tie – that was the message behind the fabulous Red & White Ball thrown by the Metro New York North Chapter of the American Red Cross last month. Early on a sunny Saturday evening, WAG’s Zoë Zellers followed a line of stretch limos and black Range Rovers down the Merritt Parkway to the NetJets Hangar at the Westchester County Airport. At the valet circle, guests stepped out of their cars, their polished loafers and silver Jimmy Choo pumps leading the way (which were seemingly the “it” shoe of the night).

Inside the fabulously oversized space, our neighborhood’s beautiful and charitable guests enjoyed a (wide)-open bar and appetizers before a seated dinner. Friends weaved their way between the tables which were the real stars of the eve. This year for its annual ball, The American Red Cross invited designers to create their own clever “tablescapes” which ranged from high culture to pop culture (think red and white roses versus red and white Campbell’s Soup cans ornamenting the dinner tables).

Before the event guests also oohed, ahed and bid on the extravagant auction packages which seemingly offered something for everyone – including the golfer, the wine connoisseur, the fashionista, the spa-lover, the vacation jetsetter, even the Harlem Globetrotters fan! Meanwhile, the designers could be found close to their tables, posing for photos and mingling with curious fans, answering that age-old question, “So, what inspired you?”
