Also enjoying dinner under the stars: designer Norma Kamali with Paul Hastings partner Marty Edelman, ad gurus Ted Sann and Charlie Miesmer, Bloomberg’s Betty Liu, stylist Ann Caruso, Reed Smith’s David Hryck, Wink boutique’s Ilse and Stephen Werther and “Real Housewife” Kristen Taekman, who arrived fashionably dressed and remained drama-free.
