As I approached Alice + Olivia and Paris Hilton’s Pride party at Terminal 5, I could hear the hum of people and music from the street. Inside, it was both a feast for the eyes and a millennial fever dream — and I mean this in the best of ways.
The first thing most guests did when they walked in was take photos — of the room, of themselves, of the food, or in front of just about every vertical surface in the venue that had been built into a step-and-repeat-style photo wall. Some were decked out with flowers. Some had neon signs. Others advertised a brand orThe main photo wall served as the backdrop for some famous faces being photographed: Bijou Phillips, Olivia Palermo, Cuba Gooding Jr.
Just beneath the stage, a swarm of attendees seemingly jockeyed for the best spot to see Hilton while dancing to Ty Sunderland’sset. Meanwhile, Half Magic was touching up the makeup of a few well-coiffed gay men. Kids ran around with bagels in one hand and a mocktails in the other. From a few feet away, a couple of their dads in business suits were getting Shake Shack burgers.
Finally, the room dimmed, laser lights flourished around the room, and all eyes were on the stage. Sunderland’s DJ booth had been cleared, and the “High Priestess of Pop” came out with a team of four hunky background dancers. In advance ofI’m not a music critic, so I won’t try and get into the cultural significance or musical ability of the 43-year-old pop star. But technically, I am qualified to, and everyone was having the most fun humanly possible listening to Hilton sing.
As I was walking out after the performance, I saw Dylan Mulvaney, who was beaming after the show. “I stan Alice + Olivia, gay people, and Paris Hilton,” Mulvaney tells NYLON. “So this is kind of like the night of all nights.”
