Chanel at The Plaza Hotel

Night of Diamonds: Newly transformed into luxury apartments, The Plaza Hotel opened its doors to Chanel's 1930s-themed Nuit de Diamants (Night of Diamonds) dinner, a grande gala of 300 lush and lively attendees. Black and white was the theme for this extravaganza boasting the U.S. debut of 20 of Chanel's one-of-a-kind diamond pieces. Twas also a perfect excuse to show off the newly renovated ballroom. If you think a diamond can light up a face, just look at these fashions and beauties (guests)!
