Inside Swarovski’s Glittering Night at the Mark Hotel

Sparkle and shine were on full display last night in Manhattan’s Upper East Side hotel institution, The Mark. The reason? Swarovski’s creative director Giovanna Engelbert was in town and painted it with crystals—or at least the facade of the hotel. For the occasion, the likes of Christine Quinn, Emily Ratajkowski, Irina Shayk, Rachel Brosnahan, and more were bedecked in the Austrian brand’s shimmering jewelry and turned up for a dinner set with, you guessed it, more bedazzled accouterment. 

At the celebratory meal, the scene evoked a winter wonderland with snowy roofed gingerbread houses, Christmas trees, and a menagerie of birds, all crafted with Swarovski crystals. Following Champagne toasts, a meal was served, and guests took every opportunity to document the space with photos. Indya Moore, who wore a showstopping bib-crystal top, looked elegant among the setting while actor Frida Pinto posed with a lion figure. See all the photos, below.
