Up Close and HABITUAL: NYLON Music Issue Party with Florence Welch

Florence Welch at the Habitual-Nylon Dinner at the Mondrian Hotel Soho.

We met up with our friends at NYLON last night to celebrate their new Music issue, on stands now. The dinner and afterparty hosted by Editor-in-chief Marvin Scott Jarrett and the inimitable Florence Welch took place in the Mondrian Soho Hotel. We started with dinner in the beautiful penthouse, which ended up being delayed over an hour after fireworks unexpectedly went off over the Manhattan bridge, but the views of the city were well worth the wait.

Though we arrived a little late, the afterparty downstairs at Mister H was still in full swing. Guests like Leigh LeZark from the Misshapes and Harley Newton were treated to beats by DJ Josh Madden. We also spotted Portia de Rossi, Shenae Grimes of 90210, and “Twilight” alum Kellan Lutz, who is now the face of the Dylan George men’s line. Was he spying on us?

Florence faced the cameras in an Anna Sui floral print dress, paired with a black fedora, ankle strap pumps, and a Chanel Mademoiselle bag (don’t tell Gucci!) . She continues on tour with Florence + The Machine through the summer and will also open for U2 on select dates. If you are in New York, you can catch them playing Central Park this Friday.

Behind the Scenes: NYLON Young Hollywood Party

Emma Roberts at NYLON Young Hollywood Event

NYLON held their Young Hollywood party at Bardot last night to celebrate the most recent issue. The event was hosted by Emma Roberts (who looked very cute in lace), and attended by many of the young stars in town, including Glee’s Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale, Current Dancing with the Stars contestant Chelsea Kane, Jordin Sparks, and Shenae Grimes.

As usual the event had great turnout, with mobs of young ones waiting outside to get in, since the place reached max capacity real quick. Apparently the 20-something crowd hasn’t heard about the indoor smoking ban, because everyone was puffing away contentedly.

NYLON always throws a fantastic party. There was definitely an energy. A youthful, vibrant energy. Maybe George Bernard Shaw was right when he said “youth is wasted on the young”, but they sure know how to party!
