Inside the World Monuments Fund’s Red-Inspired Hadrian Gala

On Oct. 24, the World Monuments Fund hosted its 33rd annual Hadrian Gala at the Rainbow Room in New York City. The celebration honored Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Mellon Foundation; philanthropist and cultural preservationist Suzanne Deal Booth; and renowned fashion designer Christian Louboutin for their dedication to protecting monuments around the world. Guests arrived at Rockefeller Center donning red-inspired black tie attire and helped raise a record $1.4 million toward the World Monuments Fund’s ongoing preservation efforts. Notable attendees include Fairfax Dorn, Michael Govan, Ashley Olsen, Diane von Furstenburg, Marc Glimcher, Annabelle Selldorf, and Bénédicte de Montlaur. Photos by Yvonne Tnt/BFA.
