Attendees gathered Sunday night for a pre-Met Gala event hosted by United Talent Agency (UTA) in New York City. The cocktail party took place at Nubeluz by José Andrés, located within The Ritz-Carlton New York in midtown.
The gathering occurred the evening before the annual Met Gala, a significant event on the fashion and culture calendar. Pre-parties had taken place for several days leading up to the main event.
UTA organized the early evening soiree, starting at 7 p.m., ahead of a busy Monday for many of its clients. This marks the second consecutive year the talent agency hosted its pre-Met event at the Ritz-Carlton venue.
Among those seen at the party was recording artist Chance the Rapper.
Other guests spotted included actor Regé-Jean Page, who was observed near the bar area. Artist Rashid Johnson and his wife, Sheree Hovsepian, were also in attendance, seated near the venue's large windows offering city views.
A gallery of attendees from the event included musicians and actors.
The party provided a relaxed setting for industry figures ahead of the main event's preparations.
