Johannesburg - Popular media personality and businessman Maps Maponyane joined some of Hollywood's elite at the Moët & Chandon for the celebration of the season, unveiling of "Your Voices" by Es Devlin.
This celebration continues the House's "Toast for a Cause" initiative in support of the Endangered Language Alliance.
The star-studded celebration included Trevor Noah, Jessica Chastain, Daniel Kaluuya, Emily Ratajkowski, Sienna Miller, Michaela Coel, Taylor Russell, Alexa Demie, Jeremy O. Harris, Jesse Williams, Chanel Iman, Megan Rapinoe, Daniel Arsham, Prabal Gurung, Tina Leung, Philip Lim, Laura Kim, Victor Cruz, and Savannah Guthrie, while friends of the house Roger Federer, Sue Bird, and Don C. joined in the festivities as they popped champagne, danced, and rang in the holiday season.
Keeping with the House’s tradition of toasting for a cause during celebratory events, Moët & Chandon partnered with and donated to the Endangered Language Alliance, inspired by "Your Voices," to preserve global languages in New York City while encouraging others to toast to causes near their hearts throughout the season.
"I had such a fabulous time last night performing at Moët & Chandon’s holiday celebration," said Mariah Carey. "Kicking off the season with everybody in attendance was glorious. The fun and festivities were the perfect party starter."
Other highlights from the evening included a custom gold room photo opportunity, bottle service of Moët Impérial, and Moët Nectar Imperial Rose.
Trendsetting looks were in full force with gold and silver sequins, festive blazers, and embellished details, all captured throughout the night by celebrity photographer Hunter Abrams.
The evening kicked off with a welcome toast from Moët & Chandon president and chief executive Berta de Pablos Barbier.
"The holiday season is an important and meaningful time for our House moments of celebration, sharing with those we love, and giving back. As we look towards our 280th anniversary next year, we are honoured to collaborate with British contemporary artist Es Devlin to bring this art to Lincoln Center, as we bring the values of Moët & Chandon to New York City. We hope ‘Your Voices’ will be a beacon of light where diverse voices join and blend as a symbol of universality and inclusion from the most-loved champagne in the world to this iconic city," she said.
