Sydney, Australia: It’s fitting that Whitney Peak’s second MET Gala was an homage to Karl Lagerfeld, the man who did so much to shape the house of CHANEL into what is is today. Dressed in fluffy white couture, the actress looked luminous – exactly the same beauty and strength that saw her named as the newest face of Coco Mademoiselle, the iconic CHANEL fragrance.

We might have been a million miles away from the MET Gala, but Sydney was able to experience some of the magic by way of dinner at Felix, a French-inspired restaurant that echoes all the warmth and elegance and understated cool factor of a classic Parisian Bistro.

Friends of the house, taste makers and editors enjoyed dinner and cocktails before dancing and karaoke continued well into the night – with songs selected by Peak (TLC, Beyoncé and Fergie among them). Of course, Coco was ever present – larger-than-life fragrance bottles scattered around, drinks infused with some of the key ingredients (citrus! jasmine!) and of course the fragrance itself worn by everyone in the room.

Coco Mademoiselle was originally crafted by perfumer Jacques Polge in 2001 as a means to attract a younger, spirited, rebellious CHANEL customer. With notes of Orange Blossom, Turkish Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Patchouli and White Musk, the punchy floral-amber has gone on to become a house icon – a scent that stands for fun, passion, warmth and vibrance.

Peak really couldn’t be a more fitting face – she’s vocal, ambitious, and on the precipice of what is sure to be an incredible career (not to mention, absolutely stunning). We might not have Paris or the MET or Whitney in our orbit, but we do have one night with Mademoiselle.
