Black and White was the theme of the evening at Vogue and Grey Goose India’s Fly Beyond Awards where achievers from all different walks of life were celebrated for excellence in their respective fields. Hosted on the 16th of this month at the Grand Hyatt, the night was lit up with a bevy of stunning stars all decked up for the event (Kareena Kapoor positively sizzled in her monochromatic Prabal Gurang gown while Hrithik looked dapper as ever in a snazzy Troy Costa suit). Doing the rounds at the event were some lip-smacking, theme-based cocktails and delicious hor d’oeuvres. While the French Mule, 3 Good Things and Negroski were exceptional, the iconic Grey Goose cocktail Le Fizz seemed most appealing. Other ‘Hero Cocktails’ being served at the bar included Grey Goose Le Parisien and Grey Goose L’arome.
Commenting on the association of two of the most iconic and luxurious brands in the country, Grey Goose and Vogue, Mr. Arjun Mehra, Publishing Director, Conde Nast India said, “Vogue as the most successful fashion and lifestyle magazine and arbiter of all things stylish is well placed to curate a group of super achievers across the fields of acting, food, art, journalism and more. We are delighted to celebrate and felicitate the most successful people who amaze us with breaking barriers and doing the unexpected.” Mr. Manish Seth, Director of Marketing & Sales, Bacardi in India added, “Fly Beyond is more than a campaign for us. Grey Goose was born out of a passionate pursuit of the extraordinary and our aim tonight was to honour noted artists who have gone beyond the usual and gone onto doing some extraordinary work within their fields. Grey Goose would like to salute the ‘Fly Beyond’ spirit of these achievers.”
