My Look: VIP Party Mood

The Gstaad Palace is home to one of the most famous nightclubs in the Alps: GreenGo Nightclub. It is definitely the best place to party in Gstaad with its stylish interior design straight from the 1970s. Under the pulsing lights, I loved to dance the night away to the sounds of resident DJ Jim Leblanc and international acts in my beautiful new sparkly jumpsuit by German designer duo Talbot Runhof, that are well known for their beautiful evening wear. The perfect stylish, yet comfy outfit to enjoy the vibrating beats of the night.

As you can see, the club has a new highlight with the fun artwork by @wonderwalls 3780 that decorates the fumoir, featuring many celebrities that stayed at the Palace.

My look: Midnight blue sequined jersey jumpsuit Didi4 by Talbot Runhof, fox fur jacket in blue degrade colors by Dior, silver-tone crystal clip earrings, and embellished-heart tassel necklace, both by Alessandra Rich, black calf leather lace up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent, and Celebrations embroidered canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan.

My Look: Kispi

Finally after three years, the Kispiball (Kispi is an abbreviation for Kinderspital which means children’s hospital in German) took place again at the wonderful Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich.

I danced all night long in my Dolce & Gabbana gown and enjoyed being among my dear friends.

My Look: Red Lace

«Seduction, Stripped Down» is the name Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons gave to the collection.
In her S/S 2022 runway notes, Prada said, «We thought of words like elegant—but this feels so old-fashioned. Really, it’s about a language of seduction that always leads back to the body. Using these ideas, these references to historical pieces, the collection is an investigation of what they mean today.»

In this case the very feminine color red is paired with seductive lace fabric and spiced up with unconventionally placed corsetry boning. The belt is worn inside cinching the waist. Can you imagine that I wear nothing under this dress?! This is modern sexiness that only Prada can do!

My look: Guipure-lace belted cotton-blend midi dressicon, crystal-embellished leather clutch, leather-trimmed PVC sandals, buckle-embellished arm cuff, all by Prada, and silver-tone crystal clip earringsicon by Alessandra Rich.

Maiden Shanghai is a new exploration of authentic Chinese cooking in a spectacular setting at the new FIVE Zurich hotel that will open its doors next week. With dramatic views over the Swiss city, it contains a bold dining area and outdoor terrace, aas well as a private dining room. The decor playfully fuses the traditional with the boldly modern, creating spaces that feel open yet connected.
