Celebrity Sightings in NYC: From Pizza Parties to Galas
Stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Kendra Scott, and Michelle Pfeiffer were spotted at various events across Manhattan.
New York City was a hub for celebrity activity last week, with stars attending a range of events from fashion parties to charity galas. Jewelry designer Kendra Scott hosted "The After Slice," a pizza-themed party at her Soho flagship store to celebrate her inaugural Fashion Week send-off. The event drew notable guests including Justine Skye, Brigette McHale, Danielle Pheloung, Remi Bader, Brad Goreski, and Audrey Trullinger. The celebration featured limoncello shots, a build-your-own cannoli bar, and pizza served from a custom Kendra Scott x Joe’s Pizza truck. Justine Skye reportedly took over the DJ booth, debuting unreleased tracks from her upcoming album, and a significant line formed down Spring Street to attend.
Elsewhere in the city, actor Benny Blanco was seen dining at 4 Charles in the West Village on the same Tuesday evening. The following evening, actress Emily Blunt hosted The American Institute for Stuttering’s 20th Anniversary Gala at the Rainbow Room. On Wednesday, Ella Beatty and Billie Lourd attended the premiere of their Netflix film, “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,” at the Paris Theater.
Later in the week, John Legend performed at The Shed’s 2026 Gala, with Adrienne Warren also taking the stage. The gala's attendees included Kara Young, Jeff Koons, Marc Jacobs, and Thom Browne. On Friday, Jennifer Lawrence was spotted having dinner at Ambassadors Clubhouse New York in NoMad, where she reportedly wore a simple black dress and dined on elevated Punjabi cuisine.
Concluding the week, The NAT Foundation held its second annual gala in New York City on Sunday to coincide with the start of Climate Week. Michelle Pfeiffer was among the prominent figures present, alongside Bailey Bass, Sabrina Elba, Gabriela Hearst, Dr. Sylvia Earle, Maggie Baird, Pattie Gonia, and Hindou Ibrahim. The gala, themed "Water Is Life," aimed to raise funds for nature-focused initiatives supported by Conservation International, Blue Marine Foundation, and Open Planet.
