It was so nice to see the fabulous Sharon Jacob @sharonjacob1234 last evening at the Orchid Dinner and her daughter Stella. Sharon said she was channeling Babe Paley and Marilyn Monroe in her white Gabriela Hearst gown, her mother’s pearls, and a vintage stole. What better place than the Plaza to do that. Sharon and Bill Jacob were event chairs for the dinner. The Orchid Dinner at The Plaza hosted more than 350 guests last night, raising crucial support for New York Botanical Garden’s @nybg global plant research, conservation, and education initiatives. The evening was in celebration of The Orchid Show: Florals in Fashion, which opened on February 17, 2024 in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and runs through April 21, 2024. #newyorkbotanicalgarden #theplaza #babepaley #marilynmonroe #ladiesofmadisonave #orchiddinner
