Mon May 05 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## UTA Hosts Star-Studded Pre-Met Gala Cocktail Party
**New York, NY** – United Talent Agency (UTA) kicked off Met Gala weekend with a lavish pre-party on Sunday night. The agency’s A-list clients gathered at Nubeluz by José Andrés, located within The Ritz-Carlton New York, for their annual “Sunday Soirée.”
The exclusive event, held for the second consecutive year at the same venue, saw a glittering array of celebrities in attendance. Spotted mingling amongst the Diptyque-scented ambiance were Regé-Jean Page, “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo, designer Grace Wales Bonner, Monica Barbaro, Myha’la, Bloody Osiris, Ella Emhoff, Aurora James, and Chance the Rapper. Party co-hosts included artist Rashid Johnson and his wife Sheree Hovsepian, and photographer Tyler Mitchell.
Guests enjoyed Johnnie Walker Blue cocktails and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline before receiving a sweet send-off: a candy bar featuring cookies imprinted with the Metropolitan Museum of Art logo, a playful reminder of the upcoming fashion extravaganza. The early evening gathering provided a relaxed prelude to the high-octane energy expected at the Met Gala itself.
