While many New Yorkers of the social variety took it easy this weekend in preparation for the Costume Institute Gala, it was nice to see that a few people were still willing to let their hair down. On Saturday night, the Gramercy Park Hotel’s annual Spring Fling drew a seriously VIP crowd: Quincy Jones, Naomi Campbell, Jessica Alba, Karolina Kurkova, and Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn all piled—and we mean piled—themselves into the elevators to greet hosts Harry Josh and Nur Khan on the rooftop, where tequila shots were the drink of choice.

No matter how loose the crowd became, though, it was hard to avoid talk of the Met. “I’m kind of nervous,” admitted Kate Bosworth, who revealed that she’ll be sitting at Stella McCartney’s table. “I just got a text from her saying having fun is the priority.” Honorary chair Marc Jacobs‘ fiancé, Lorenzo Martone, seemed to be taking his hosting duties seriously, too. “We have some big guns coming, and it looks like it’ll be a good night,” he said. With reports that Madonna, Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, and Winona Ryder will all be arriving on the duo’s arms—four arms for four girls?—he’s probably right.
