Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford Had a Gossip Girl Reunion at Falconeri’s Getty House Dinner Party

Last night, Falconeri hosted an intimate dinner at Getty House in Los Angeles to celebrate its signature Ultrafine Cashmere Collection.

Held at the exclusive Brentwood residence, the evening began with a sunset rooftop dinner overlooking the Hollywood Hills.

Attendees included a curated mix of celebrities, stylists, and industry insiders, with notable guests such as Eva Longoria, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, Sharon Stone, Matt Bomer, and Jessie Williams.

Throughout the evening, product vignettes and textural moments showcased Falconeri’s ultra-luxe cashmere, tracing its journey from Mongolia to the boutique. The event marked the brand’s first in Los Angeles, signaling plans for continued expansion in the United States.

The experience was designed to reflect Falconeri’s core philosophy—one rooted in craftsmanship, purity, and a commitment to the highest-quality sourcing. The Italian heritage brand is based in Avio, Trentino.

Falconeri’s ultrafine cashmere is crafted by twisting together two single strands, resulting in natural thermoregulation, enhanced elasticity, and exceptional breathability that sets it apart in the market. At Falconeri, cashmere is designed for every season and every occasion.

That ethos extended to the tablescape, which embraced an earthy, minimalist aesthetic. The menu drew inspiration from the cashmere-making process, unfolding in raw, spun, and dyed courses—from raw yellowtail to hand-spun noodles and dyed panna cotta.

“With this event in Los Angeles, we wanted to celebrate the purest essence of Falconeri: a conscious luxury, rooted in the authenticity of materials and the finest Italian manufacturing,” said Sandro Veronesi, president of Oniverse, the group Falconeri belongs to, in a press release. “Presenting our story in such a special setting, together with high-profile guests, allows us to share the brand’s spirit while looking ahead to one of our most dynamic markets.”

Located at 684 Fifth Avenue and valued at $40 million, the Getty House is a striking example of contemporary Danish design set against a quintessentially Californian backdrop. Designer Thomas Juul Hansen sourced the same Italian travertine used for the Getty Center—extracted from the Lippiello family quarry—creating a subtle tie-in to Italian craftsmanship and an ideal setting for Falconeri’s refined dinner.
