Amanda Lepore, a woman known for her love of Louboutins, broke her own rule of avoiding Monday nights in Midtown to attend the Christian Louboutin Beauté party celebrating their new fragrance collection, Fétiche. The event at the swanky Silencio club on West 57th Street was a magnet for fashion’s elite, drawing in everyone from Teyana Taylor and Larsen Thompson to drag queens and social media stars.
The party’s vibrant energy, fueled by a combination of good vibes and Louboutin’s signature glamour, made the Monday night feel more like a Friday. “I don’t even know what night it is; it’s such a good vibe that I forgot it’s Monday,” said Drag Race star Kerri Colby, highlighting the event’s inclusivity and celebratory spirit. “Louboutin is so inclusive—it was one of the first luxury brands to extend sizes to everyone—and representation matters, angel. It’s good to see all the people looking good and coming out.”
The night kicked off with a DJ set by Violet Chachki, the Drag Race Season 7 winner, who kept the energy high as guests posed for Reels at the thoughtfully curated photo moments around the venue. Just past midnight, the crowd was treated to a surprise set by Tinashe, whose song “Nasty” is currently taking TikTok by storm. The performer, who has been busy making appearances at shows for brands like Off-White and Tommy Hilfiger, captivated the crowd with her infectious energy.
“Tinashe eats and eats and eats and kills and kills and kills, she’s going to bring it—I really want to be friends with her,” Colby said of her girl crush.
The atmosphere was electric, with Leigh Lezark, a veteran of Fashion Week, twirling on the light-up red and white checkered dance floor in her platform heels. Meanwhile, influencers flocked around makeup maestro Patrick Ta, eager to capture a selfie with him. Backstage behind the DJ booth, CT Hedden and Jaycie O’Day gossiped about their upcoming European fashion week adventures.
The party was a veritable who’s who of fashion and beauty, with Reformation model Yada Villaret, downtown ‘doll’ twins Jake and Josie Dupont, and creators like Erica Pelosini, Meredith Mickelson, Flaviana Matata, Zandra Pohl, Abi Hoffman, Alioune Badara Fall, Igee Okafor, Eva Gutowski, and many more adding to the dazzling scene. Even industry veterans, fresh off the LaQuan Show in Bushwick, made their way to the party, adding to the mix of glamour and creativity.
As the clock struck 2 a.m., guests, energized and armed with a new sensual scent, headed out into the night, their spirits high, ready to conquer the rest of New York Fashion Week. The Louboutin Fétiche launch was a resounding success, a testament to the brand’s enduring appeal and the vibrant energy of fashion week.
