Friday night’s Art of Elysium benefit, “Bright Lights, New City,” drew models Raquel Zimmermann, Caroline Trentini, and Sasha Pivovarova, along with the Olsen sisters and Victoria and Vanessa Traina, to Manhattan’s newly renovated Jane hotel. Credit for the pretty crowd goes to the hosts—Joy Bryant, Vogue’s Sara Moonves, Bee Shaffer, and InStyle’s Nicole Vecchiarelli—although a performance by Santigold didn’t hurt. “I have an important audition tomorrow,” revealed Milla Jovovich, “but I’m here to support Joy and Santi and Art of Elysium because I love what they’re about.” The L.A.-based nonprofit, which just opened its first New York outpost, encourages artists, actors, and musicians to donate their time and talent to seriously ill children. “It’s about doing what you love with these kids,” explained Shaffer, who’s graduating from Columbia in two weeks. “It’s using what you’re passionate about to help.” Dancing being a preoccupation of the twentysomething set, the co-hosts hired Matt Creed to deejay, and the sold-out party raised nearly $50,000 for the charity.—Sarah Fones

It was a crush—literally—getting into the Cartier mansion on Fifth Avenue at the jeweler’s celebration of 100 years in America. Ask the fashion editor whose foot was squished by Justin Timberlake’s planet-sized bodyguard (turns out this was a minder with a conscience, though—”I am so, so sorry,” he said, while JT distracted the limping lady with flattery). Things were just as snug over at the elevator. “My, this is cozy,” said Sir Elton John as more and more people piled in. “I might go mad in here.” Whatever it took to get upstairs was worth it, though. “Did you see the big one, with 230 carats?” Kate Hudson asked Zac Posen, remarking on a ridiculously large diamond necklace. “I just want to make love to it.” She wasn’t the only one feeling the love. In a room wallpapered with images from the book Bruce Weber was commissioned to make in honor of the centennial milestone, Tory Burch waxed rhapsodic about the photographer’s work. “It’s so original, so romantic, so America,” said the designer. “Maybe in a few decades, when I can afford him, he can shoot my campaign.” In the meantime, she’ll have to settle for more of his books—just not this one. Turns out Cartier didn’t produce enough in time to sell them at the fête. “I guess I’ll have to come back,” Dr. Lisa Airan said. “Not that I’ll mind.”—Derek Blasberg
