To celebrate ES Insider’s launch in New York City, socialites, influencers, media, and models all ventured over the bridge to the newly-opened Hoxton, Williamsburg for an evening of custom cocktails and Harrods champagne.

British Victoria's Secret model Cheyenne Maya Carty pitched up with her boyfriend, model, DJ, and influencer Ashton Gohil, who was looking forward to watching her walk her first VS runway. Fellow VS model and podcast host Iesha Hodges took time off from prepping for the show and joined her on the carpet in a silver dress, embracing her now-famous buzz cut. Model Jessica Barta Lam also made a noteworthy appearance in a snakeskin ensemble, as did Icelandic model Sif Saga.

Influencers Emily Johnston of @fashionfoiegras, Matilde Espírito Santo of @mylondonfairytales, and Anna Barnett of @annabarnettcooks flew in for the weekend.

Plenty of Brits stopped by to celebrate too. The now Brooklyn-based Ruen Brothers chatted about recording their next album. And while there wasn't any time to play HQ, host Sharon Carpenter spent time on the red carpet and by the fireplace. Influencers Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras, Matilde Espírito Santo of My London Fairytales, Siobhan Ferguson of Pretty City London, Anna Barnett of Anna Barnett Cooks all flew in for an Insider weekend too, enjoying a very British high tea as their party pre-game.

Socialite and Snap Pack leader Andrew Warren came through with his squad, all wearing his own Just Drew designs, complete with silver sequins. He was accompanied by Naftali Group's Danielle Naftali, luxe real estate agent Julius Barnathan, fine jewelry creator Chloe Goutal, model Michaela V, and actress Mireya Rios. Guests sipped Bombay Negronis, festive for fall Montauk Brewery Pumpkin Ale, and white wine spritzers.

In the Hoxton's homey private rooms, complete with a cozy fireplace and skeeball table, DJ ISAAC LIKES turned the late night scene into a dance party, complete with an impromptu limbo as the revellers slipped off their heels.

But the true guest of honor was Harrod's Green Man Arnie, who came into town for 48 hours for the event from London. At one point, someone stole his hat for photos.
