However, this year's spectacle took an unexpected turn when a protester breached security near some of the world's most high-profile guests.
An anti-Jeff Bezos protester reportedly rushed toward the event, coming "just 20 feet or so" from celebrities before police intervened.
The individual is believed to be part of a group protesting Amazon over its labor practices.

According to Page Six, eyewitnesses described a sudden disturbance near the venue entrance.
The protester allegedly created a "commotion across the street" before forcing his way through a crowd of fans and media behind a steel barrier.
"We're told he leapt over the first of two steel barriers standing between him and the party, sprinted through traffic coming down the famed avenue along the side of Central Park, and vaulted the second steel barrier," Page Six's Oli Coleman wrote.
The report states that "nearly a dozen" police officers quickly tackled the individual before removing him from the scene.
As the incident unfolded, designer Tom Ford was seen wrapping his arms around actress Julianne Moore.
