The elegant Women’s Collection salon was adorned with simple yet sophisticated floral arrangements inspired by those featured in Living with Flowers—a fitting backdrop for the occasion.

The evening's guests included Amy Astley, Athena Calderone, Alexandra Michler Kopelman, David Netto, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Jules Fox, Jo Carole Lauder, Ronald Lauder, Lizzie Tisch, Jonathan Tisch, Romilly Newman, Samantha Varvel, Jackie Terrebonne, Mark D. Sikes, Sophie Elgort, Sheila Bridges, Corey Damen Jenkins, Jerry Lauren, Mia Randria, Indre Rockefeller, Michael Sebastian, Natalie Massenet, Mason Lane, Brent Winston Neale, Wes Gordon, Lili Buffett, Sam Jacobs, and Jane Keltner de Valle.

Attendees also had the exclusive opportunity to be among the first to explore the book, which is currently on display at the Ralph Lauren store and Ralph’s Coffee.

Officially released on Tuesday, February 25th, Living with Flowers offers a glimpse into Lauder’s love of florals, sharing creative ways to incorporate blooms into home décor, entertaining, and everyday life—elevating both special occasions and simple moments with beauty and joy.
