The Frick Collection’s Fellows, Young Fellows and their sundry plus-ones turned out across two consecutive evenings—Tuesday, June 9, and Wednesday, June 10—for the museum’s annual Spring Garden Party. Inside, the partygoers perused the “Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette,” but the real fashion plates could arguably be found outside, taking their turns around the museum’s highly exclusive Fifth Avenue Garden. Said garden had some competition, as the see-and-be-seen set leaned hard into stunning seasonal pastels and flouncy floral motifs. Live jazz from musicians at The Juilliard School set the mood, and the cheery margaritas and flutes of champagne that accompanied seasonally inspired nibbles and desserts cemented it. Gallery talks ran throughout the evening, open to all those who ventured indoors to take a private peek at the permanent collection or “Ruffles & Ribbons.” One suspects, however, that most of the style commentary was happening out in the garden, where the crowd paraded and peacocked long after the sun went down. These were some of our favorite looks:
