Inside the party, which was held at the Los Angeles County Musuem of Art (LACMA), guests gathered within the outdoor "forum" area beneath the main museum galleries facing the Japanese Pavilion. A vestibule composed of curved faceted mirrored walls created a "hall of mirrors" effect as guests passed into the large party room.

A 20-foot-tall arrangement of 10,000 yellow orchids anchored the entry to the main party space, which featured a custom fabricated 40-by-15-foot-wide central bar, presented by Tequila Don Julio, in stainless steel at the center of the room, over which hung 24 six-foot-tall Noguchi-inspired parchment lanterns, bathing the room in a warm white coloration, according to a press release obtained by Fox News Digital. 

Guests enjoyed a meal curated by Chef Evan Funke of Funke, Beverly Hills, and Funke Catering & Events. The meal consisted of lasagna alla Cantonese, Mediterranean sea bass, grilled prime ribeye with custom chocolate bark for dessert. 

To top it off, partygoers were offered by-the-slice Domino's Pizza and In-N-Out burgers throughout the night.
