Editor’s note: Normally, we’d try to feature multiple events in this space, running one photo from each as part of our Party Hopping column. But you don’t need to be a desperate housewife to become starstruck by the eyepopping guest list of this affair held at a Preston Hollow estate. Enjoy the photos here and look for more coverage of this and other charitable social events in our next Digital Society Magazine (late January 2026).
