This year, Oscar nominees were treated with Hollywood traditional glamour and chic, receiving a range of luxurious gifts which included designer bags, shoes, jewelry, cashmere throws, sunglasses and champagne to toast the accomplishments at the 5,000 square foot penthouse with views of Santa Monica and Century City.
Fashion designer Michael Kors customized two of his signature Spring 2005 bags for both the male and female nominees, reported Fashion Monitor Toronto. The women’s bag, made out of white leather with glamorous gold lining and hardware, was a little larger and more practical than the runway exemplar. For male nominees, the designer created a handy yet indulgent canvas tote with luggage leather straps and suede lining.
Gift collection from Estee Lauder included makeup, skincare and fragrances. World-known craftsman Manolo Blahnik presented brown men's leather slides and women's gold sandals.
Male guests of the Spa received a crystal Baccarat decanter set with two tumblers and female nominees collected a Baccarat Eye vase and Baccarat Circle necklace.
Other gifts included an exclusively-designed Loro Piana monogrammed cashmere and suede blanket, Robert Marc Aviator Sunglasses and a bottle of La Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot champagne.
