There’s something undeniably debaucherous about the Top of the Standard on Halloween weekend. With all the decadent costumes and the amber lighting, you may or not recognize anyone, and with anonymity, comes bad—or at least very uninhibited—behavior. On Saturday night, everyone from Brian Atwood (as a silver rhinestone cowboy), Aziz Ansari (in a tuxedo, waving hello from the side of the DJ booth), Jason Wu (in full Day of the Dead makeup), and Michelle Ochs (as a spot-on Cruella de Vil) gathered to dance and drink the night away.
“Happy Halloween!” exclaimed a red bead-draped Gigi Burris. “This is always my favorite Halloween party,” added Julia Loomis by the bar. “Everyone goes all out.” Simon Porte Jacquemus could be seen dancing on the piano, and Mark Ronson showed up late—and took to the turntables to give us a surprise set. “Who are you tonight?” asked Ronson as he made his way from the DJ booth to a banquet by the window. “And where are we going next?” concluded a friend nearby. For some, it seemed the night was just beginning.
