The Maybourne Beverly Hills Launches A New Afternoon Tea

The Maybourne Beverly Hills has launched Prêt-à-Portea: The Red Carpet Collection, a version of the legendary fashion tea from the hotel’s sister property in London, The Berkeley. The fashion take on afternoon tea at The Maybourne Beverly Hills turns celebrity fashion moments into edible art and features a curation of cakes that pay homage to iconic red carpet moments, from Björk’s famous swan dress by Marjan Pejoski to Jennifer Lopez’s green Versace gown. Michelle Williams’ saffron Vera Wang gown from the 2006 Academy Awards is reimagined as a biscuit with lemon vanilla royal icing, evoking its flowing silhouette. Margot Robbie’s Chanel dress from the 2021 Oscars appears as an Earl Grey mousse éclair dipped in a silver-lustered milk chocolate glaze. Guests can enjoy this glamorous tea experience crafted by pastry chef Brooke Martin, presented on Bernardaud china, in the hotel’s Terrace Tearoom.
