A Champagne-Soaked Celebration at the Tate Modern With Zoë Kravitz, Tilda Swinton, and Anderson .Paak

Zoë Kravitz, dressed in an elegant Saint Laurent gown with a dramatic bow cascading down her back, made a grand entrance at the Tate Modern in London on Thursday night—gliding down the museum’s sweeping spiral staircase for Dom Pérignon’s ultra-glamorous Révélations bash. Now in its fourth edition, the champagne house’s annual fête welcomed 350 A-list guests, including Tilda Swinton and Emma Corrin, for an immersive evening of art, performance, haute cuisine, and—naturally—free-flowing vintage Dom Pérignon.

The evening also marked the unveiling of Creation Is an Eternal Journey, a new exhibition exploring Dom Pérignon’s storied past, creative present, and visionary future through films, portraits, artwork, and memorabilia. Guests entered the museum through a fog-shrouded passageway, where servers appeared in silhouette holding trays of flutes while hypnotic music—an original composition by Ben Ellis—set the tone.

Inside, guests discovered whimsical anecdotes about Dom Pérignon’s most iconic devotees: Marilyn Monroe reportedly sipped it during photoshoots, Elizabeth Taylor introduced it to Truman Capote (who likened it to perfection itself), and Andy Warhol favored it at Studio 54. The exhibition’s centerpiece, however, spotlighted the maison’s latest creative collaboration with seven visionaries: Kravitz, Swinton, Iggy Pop, Anderson .Paak, Takashi Murakami, choreographer Alexander Ekman, and Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth.

In her 18-year career, Kravitz has emerged as a creative force—from Big Little Lies and The Batman to her directorial debut Blink Twice. Before entering the exhibition, she reflected on her early inspirations. “I watched a lot of movies growing up—mostly what my parents [Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet] were watching,” she told Vogue. “I loved The Little Rascals from the ’30s, and I remember being so drawn to Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday, Foxes, and Bugsy Malone. She had this strong presence, even as a kid. One of my first jobs was with her in The Brave One, and she really impacted me.”

What’s next for Kravitz on her own creative journey? “I want to keep directing and writing—to explore things that feel vulnerable and a little scary,” she said. “Those are the stories that connect with people. When you express something uncomfortable, it makes someone else feel seen. My goal is always to capture the humanity in the in-between moments. That’s what storytelling is—reflection and connection.”

The evening kicked off with a culinary experience by Smyth, who served a series of elevated bites—potato leeks with caviar, langoustines, tomato tartare—all paired with Dom Pérignon’s just-unveiled 2008 Plénitude 2 vintage. Swinton, radiant in a floor-length, sleeveless cerulean gown by Standing Ground, took in the exhibition alongside Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell. Nearby, Evan Mock—wearing Thom Browne shorts—mingled while Corrin, in a playful fringe-trimmed Conner Ives look, relaxed on a velvet sofa. Alicia Vikander, in a sculptural mini by David Koma, caught up with Kravitz across the room.

A standout moment came when Swinton took the floor to deliver a self-penned poem, Notes for Radical Living. With poise and purpose, she read lines like: “Hold a calm mind. Champion second chances. Seek growth. Trust in change. Hold faith in miracles. Dance daily. Challenge assumptions. Be trustworthy.”

After the reading, the exhibition gave way to a dance party led by Anderson .Paak and trumpeter Maurice “MoBetta” Brown. Swinton—joined by her partner, artist Sandro Kopp—was among the first to hit the floor. With a glass of Dom Pérignon in one hand and her gown’s train wrapped around her arm, she danced with abandon to Mariah Carey’s Emotions and Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody. She even sang along with .Paak to Leave the Door Open.

Kravitz soon joined her, and the two danced together, laughing and belting out lyrics. When Prince’s Kiss came on, Kravitz showcased her moves and vocals to the delight of the crowd. The party didn’t wind down until midnight—guests left the museum buoyed by bubbles, art, and the enduring allure of creative expression.
