MarieBelle New York is always ready to celebrate, showcasing outstanding chocolate creations for all to admire. The beloved house of sweets held a celebration party at their Flagship Broome Street Store for the launch of the Hulu Original documentary Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl directed by Zackary Drucker, produced by Emmet McDermott with executive producer Scott Kaplan for CoverStory.
As background, the synopsis of Queenmaker focuses on the early 2000s, which ushered in a golden era for the New York social set—a generation of rich young women desperate to recreate the success of Paris Hilton and Tinsley Mortimer, keener than ever to show off their fortunes and one-up each other on nightly red carpets. As a result, New York City in 2007 was a world of excess never before seen in the public sphere, and suddenly, socialites were celebrities.
Gossip blogs like Gawker and Socialite Rank went viral and began sowing chaos and paranoia among the mega-wealthy. Amid these drama-filled and often cruel publications, Park Avenue Peerage’s mysterious website debuted with nuanced insight and praise for these women being torn down daily by the tabloid media. The anonymous blogger? Not who you’d expect.
FUN & NOSTALGIC
On the surface, Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl is a fun, nostalgic romp through the mid-2000s pop culture that dominated mainstream media and laid the foundation for current reality TV and the influencers of the social media generation. Interviews with the publicists, journalists, and socialites that ruled the city during that time immerse us in the gilded world of heiress-era New York City.
Notable attendees at the party included Zackary Drucker (Director), Ben Widdicombe (Executive Producer), Emmet McDermott (Producer), Scott Kaplan (Executive Producer), R. Couri Hay (Film Subject), Maribel Lieberman, Noah Levy, Kelly Brady, Scott Kaplan, Irina Liss, Urszula Makowska, Thania Peck, Marval Rex, Sydney Scotia, Lauren Servideo, Ianne Fields Stewart, Clifford Streit, Emma Snowden Jones, Varsha Thapa, Tourmaline, Julia Tricarico, Natalia Cestti, Raquel Gerlani, Valentine Huovski, Olga, George Rush, Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Jose Castelo Branco.
