Philanthropist, author, and television host Jean Shafiroff opened her elegant New York home to celebrate the birthday of legendary photographer Patrick McMullan while spotlighting the upcoming ACE Programs for the Homeless Gala. More than 150 guests gathered for an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and camaraderie during New York Fashion Week, blending high society sparkle with heartfelt philanthropy.
The evening extended well past its planned two hours, culminating in an impromptu performance by actress and singer Jill Hennessy. Adding to the significance of the night, Jean Shafiroff, Patrick McMullan, and Henry Buhl were honored with citations from NYS Assemblywoman Rebecca Seawright for their dedication to charitable causes.
The guest list reflected a dazzling cross-section of New York’s cultural, philanthropic, and social circles. Among those in attendance were Ray Kelly, Hunt Slonem, Roger and Barbara de Cabrol, Luann de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer, and Michael Musto, along with many other notable figures.
Balancing glamour with generosity, the soirée embodied the city’s unique ability to merge celebration with compassion—proof that in New York, style and substance are always better together.
