Inside the starry inauguration of Shops at Hudson Yards, where Anne Hathaway and Whoopi Goldberg, renowned artists, have visited New York's new neighborhood, endowed with a budget of $ 25 billion. dollars.

Last night I was surrounded by dollar signs.

To my left, the real-life version of the millennial generation "Gossip Girl" wearing Ascot scarves, bow ties and an air of confidence. To my right, influencers dressed in what I call red lipstick, fur coats and "Instagram nines" heeled boots wearing a dollar bill print.

I was at the official opening of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, a shopping destination in the new quarter of Hudson Yards, worth $ 25 billion, which began its work about four years ago. This is the most expensive real estate development in the history of the United States.

Tastemakers, influencers, social figures and celebrities represent New York's elite, then some gathered at the invitation party, which Sharif El Gamal of Soho Properties described as "Sim City on Steroids, but Real" of Rich Bockmann, a Real Deal reporter. Bockmann himself said that the event looked like "a circus".

My first impression fell somewhere in the lines of "This is on".

That may be because 8,000 people were invited, but according to Vogue, some 13,000 people showed up during the evening. I was not surprised that he feels more excited than Times Square, but with fewer tourists.

It was particularly popular in the area where I spent a lot of time: the official opening of queensyard, the British-inspired restaurant of the luxury restaurant group D & D London, whose the restaurant portfolio has been visited by celebrities and princes like Princess Diana and Naomi. Campbell. It stayed until 2 am, well after the time, the rest of the great openings of The Shops began to close.

I could not blame the crowd that I had a hard time getting rid of grilled cheddar cheese and truffle toast, not to mention the word machine.

I ended up missing my moment on the red carpet, but not Anne Hathaway.

Lin-Manuel Miranda either.

Whoopi Goldberg was also present.

And Andy Cohen.

And Tom Brady.

Not to mention designers Diane von Furstenberg and Vera Wang.

Liza Minnelli played in the official opening of Neiman Marcus, The Shops, the first brick and mortar retailer. There was also a brbad band, tap dancers and a capella singers.

I ended my evening with a last glbad of red and a walk in an art gallery of The Shops.

Brian Underwood, director of Oprah magazine, nicknamed the grand opening "the most chic shopping malls I know" on Instagram.

Same, Brian, the same.
