On the heels of its soiree at South Coast Plaza, Max Mara held a gala at its Rodeo Drive boutique for the book Irina Baronova and the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, which was written by Victoria Tennant. The actress wrote the book about her mother, the celebrated ballerina Irina Baronova. It was published by University of Chicago Press Books.

The event was hosted by Town & Country and Irena Medavoy and Mike Medavoy of Phoenix Pictures. Plenty of Hollywood movers and shakers were there including Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions.
