Palm Beach's Club Colette shone brightly this New Year's Eve, welcoming 2025 with glitz and glamour. The intimate dinner club draped in silver, gold, and platinum, served as the perfect backdrop for those celebrating the end of 2024.
Guests began arriving around 8 p.m. — perhaps on the later side for some, but Palm Beach is known for its unique sense of time, with 10 p.m. often dubbed 'Palm Beach Midnight.' A delightful cocktail hour ensued on the terrace, where revelers toasted with sparkling champagne and exchanged excited chatter, particularly about the upcoming political changes and the newly appointed ambassadors.
One special guest, Lucy Musso, was not just ringing in the New Year but also celebrating her birthday surrounded by friends and family at two long tables set up just for the occasion.
After cocktails, the crowd drifted inside, where the dining room was sparkling, outfitted with enough sequins to give even the legendary Liberace a run for his money. The culinary experience began with the first course: a lavish 'Golden Baked Potato,' skillfully wrapped in edible gold leaf and filled with Royal Imperial caviar — truly fitting for such extravagant celebrations.
The feast continued with the classic Caesar salad and prime petite filet mignon, complemented by high-end wines and sparkling selections appealing to every oenophile present. Each dish was meant to leave guests awed, and it certainly delivered on taste as well as presentation.
Of course, the festive atmosphere wouldn't be complete without the much-anticipated midnight countdown. Joyful cheers and laughter echoed as 2025 officially arrived with enthusiastic toasts all around. DJ Brett kept the vibe lively, spinning tunes until 1 a.m., ensuring party-goers could dance the night away.
After hours of celebrating, the guests made their way outside, reluctantly leaving the sparkling surroundings, but not without noting the early morning hour, which felt practically like dawn.
The memories made at Club Colette are surely ones to cherish, not just for ushering in the New Year but for celebrating together and enjoying the finer things. With 2025 now upon them, many are left wondering what delights and challenges the new year may bring. Each toast raised at the club solidified hopes for continued luxury, laughter, and perhaps, even more extravagant New Year's celebrations to come.
