The Academy Awards, Hollywood’s biggest night of glamour, fashion and celebrity, is just a weeks away, and Philly will be rolling out its own red carpet at 10 Arts Lounge to celebrate.
On Sunday, March 2, 10 Arts Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia, will play host to the 3rd Annual Philadelphia Red Carpet Party during the 86th Annual Academy Awards. The event will feature complimentary beer from Peroni, cocktails made with Casamigos and Caliche, lite fare and a dessert bar by Chef Nathan Lingle.
The party—free for guests 21 and over—begins at 6 p.m. with the complimentary cocktails, food and desserts during red carpet arrivals, followed by $8 drink specials, champagne bottle service and a live screening of the Oscar awards ceremony at 7 p.m. Unlike in Hollywood, guests are invited to arrive at any time during the event.
“The Oscars red carpet is one of the most-watched, and most elegant, events in Hollywood. Honestly, what better place to take all of that glamour in than with a fashionable crowd of your friends in the lobby of The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia?” said co-host Jimmy Contreras.
Contreras and Philadelphia Style magazine Editor-in-chief Kristin Detterline will be offering live commentary—sassy and unedited—as guests watch the broadcast projected on big screens in the soaring rotunda. The evening will also include red carpet looks by Saks Fifth Avenue and complimentary gift bags for the first 200 guests.
The dress code is “cocktail chic” and Contreras and Detterline will select a best-dressed lady, best-dressed gentleman and best-dressed couple at the party for awards. The prizes will include dinner for two at 10 Arts, a spa gift certificate from Richel D’Ambra and, for the lucky couple, an overnight stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia.
The Red Carpet Party is free for guests age 21 and over who RSVP. RSVP is requested by Thursday, Feb. 27 via email or by calling 267-687-0224. Space is limited.
10 Arts Lounge is located on Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts at 10 S. Broad Street.
