Last night in Los Angeles, Violet Grey held the inaugural “She’s So Violet” salon dinner in collaboration with The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation at the VIOLET GREY store on Melrose Place.

Hosted by Cassandra Huysentruyt Grey, Carole Bayer Sager and Lorraine Schwartz, the dinner celebrated and honored Elizabeth Taylor—the ultimate incarnation of Hollywood glamour and female empowerment—on the eve of her 82nd birthday. Dom Pérignon curated the menu for the evening, flying in Chef de Cuisine Pascal Tingaud and Chef De Cave Richard Geoffroy from France.

Attendees included: Eva Mendes, Pharrell Williams, Chanel Iman, Jack Nicholson, Anjelica Huston, Carole Radziwill, Alice Eve, Robert Evans, Erin Wasson, Brad Grey, and Bruce Weber.

VIOLET GREY is dedicated to celebrating the lost glamour of Hollywood, and no one was as glamorous as Elizabeth Taylor whose famous violet eyes inspired the naming of the company. Founded by Cassandra Huysentruyt Grey, VIOLET GREY’s editorial platform, The Violet Files, will soon be accompanied by e-commerce and a retail store on Melrose Place designed by Studio Sofield—both launching in March 2014.
