Christian Louboutin and artist Malú dalla Piccola staged a four-act performance dinner called Table Talk at the United Palace theater in Washington Heights on Wednesday evening.
Guests collected red-hued entry tickets and sipped Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in the lobby before ascending to a candlelit stage table. Dancer Madi Tanguay performed ballet solos in Louboutin footwear while a four-course menu by Thu Pham Buser was presented with theatrical flair, including scallop crudo on thick ice blocks and a large pâté en croûte that took three days to prepare.
