The Duchess, radiant in her formal attire and signature jewels, leans in conversation with Maxwell, the woman who shaped Manhattan's most coveted social circles. Behind them, the ballroom glitters with crystal chandeliers and formally dressed guests, each detail revealing the sophisticated world where New York society mingled with European royalty at events that defined an era of elegance.
