USHER hosts a star-studded Secret Garden Party at The Times Square EDITION following the 2024 Met Gala.
Following last night’s highly anticipated Met Gala, renowned singer-songwriter USHER hosted a Secret Garden Party – a vibrant late-night celebration set within The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens at The Times Square EDITION.
The exclusive fete featured a live DJ set by D-Nice, along with drinks, dancing and a glitzy array of entertainment and fashion world guests, including Naomi Campbell, Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Michele Lamy, Taraji P Henson, Winnie Harlow, Kyle Kuzma, Willy Chavarria, Storm Reid, Jonathan Simkhai, Coco Rocha, Queen Latifah, Ne-Yo, Christian Siriano, Leon Bridges, Roberto Bolle, Chris Appleton, Victor Glemaud, LaQuan Smith, Trevor Jackson, Amber Ruffin, and USHER’s wife Jenn Goicoechea.
The entire space, which already features a lush Orangerie-inspired backdrop, was further transformed into an opulent lush garden space with fresh greenery, florals and over-the-top topiary, a nod to the Met Gala theme, The Garden of Time. Throughout the evening, guests sipped on fresh cocktails prepared with Volcan Tequila and Belvedere Organic, as well as Whispering Angel Rose, and snacked on indulgent bites prepared by Chef John Fraser.
Birch Event and East Olivia Design, a leading global event design house, partnered with The Times Square Edition to bring Usher’s Secret Garden to life. The venue, The Terrace and Gardens, served as the perfect backdrop for Usher’s creative vision.
Their innovative approach infused the modern space with an organic flair, seamlessly melding verdant green installations with bursts of vibrant florals. Once guests entered the space, they were welcomed into a captivating hidden oasis, where lush tropical and garden greenery, meticulously selected by East Olivia, adorned the space from floor to ceiling.
