New Yorkers know that it’s only officially the holiday season once the city’s window displays take over, and last night, an exclusive set of guests at Tiffany & Co.’s Fifth Avenue flagship store got to celebrate the long-held ritual. During a ritzy affair at The Landmark, attendees sipped cocktails as they watched the Fifth Avenue snowflake light up in Tiffany Blue, accompanied by an unveiling of the building’s windows.
Friend of the house Olivia Wilde, actress and director of Don’t Worry Darling, had a special role to play as she personally lit Tiffany’s giant Bird on a Rock installation. The new artpiece resides on the Landmark’s eighth floor terrace and was assembled with more than 47,340 micro-LED lights.
For the occasion, Wilde dressed in a simple black gown accessorized with five pieces of Tiffany & Co. diamond jewelry—three of which featured Jean Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock design, matching the installation itself. Other notable party guests were socialites, models, and entrepreneurs including Lauren Santo Domingo, Georgia Fowler, and Sabine Getty, who were also outfitted in Tiffany & Co. pieces.
In a 2022 ELLE interview, Wilde said that, at (now) 40, she has no interest in conforming to others’ expectations—whether of her appearance or her career. “It’s so interesting for me when [ageist hate] comes from women,” she said, “because I’m like, ‘Do you plan on not getting older? Or if you already are older, do you feel that you don’t deserve the same opportunities in life?’ It’s so sad to me to look at that and realize people have such small expectations for their own lives and they are projecting those expectations onto me. And I reject your projections.”
