Bulgari Hotels and Resorts premiered their new documentary film, An Emperor’s Jewel — The Making of The Bvlgari Hotel Roma, last week with a pair of bicoastal screenings in both Los Angeles and New York City.
Several members of the Bulgari team were in attendance at the event held in New York City on June 20, which HELLO! also attended, as were several creators and influencers.
One of the major attendees was model, designer, and second daughter Ella Emhoff, with the 25-year-old joining guests at the historic Morgan Library & Museum for a screening of the documentary.
Ella, 25, a notable resident of Bushwick, looked chic and fit the museum’s glossy setting perfectly, wearing a black scoop-neck mini dress with waist-cinching detailing, and styled it into an overall preppy fit.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ step daughter paired the dress with white socks and black buckled shoes, a black and white shoulder bag, and accents of gold jewelry, plus her wide-rimmed glasses and signature curls. The dress allowed for her many intricate tiny tattoos on her arms and legs to shine.
Others in attendance include creators like Natalie Lim Suarez, Dylana Suarez, Caroline Lin, Karina Bik, Sophie Krakoff, Aysha Sow, Lizzy Hadfield, Jannel Therese, and Carly Cardellino.
The documentary film captures the conception and construction of the historic hotel in Rome’s town square, bringing to life the many years the project consumed, from sourcing the marble for its foundation to the detailed tile mosaic creations on its walls.
