The affair was also McCartney’s spin on an English garden party and brought out the likes of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, Chris Rock, and Lorne Michaels. Taking in the new collection, including the forthcoming Ultraboost x Parley shoe made from recycled ocean plastic materials, were Lauren Hutton and Lily Collins who were as entranced by the setup as Gabrielle Union and Ashley Benson. But all eyes were on the birds last night. Before guests shimmied with models clad in floral frocks, slick suiting, and everything in between, it was a few birds of paradise—a parrot and cockatoo in the mix—that were the most popular (and well-behaved) party animals who posed for selfies with guests. As the sun started to set, a performance from Ky-Mani Marley got others including Kenya Kinski-Jones, Mia Moretti, and Rachel Feinstein grooving into the evening.
