Peter Philips and Dior Parfums toasted their Holiday 2025 Circus of Dreams makeup collection in New York City Tuesday evening.
Guests at the Wild Cherry dinner were greeted with Dior-branded popcorn boxes, a nod to the restaurant being located with the Cherry Lane Theatre, and of course a huge gold Dior star motif.
The guest list included Liza Koshy, Hannah Bronfman, Meredith Duxbury, Linda Wells, Yada Villaret, Alioune Badara Fall and Hailey Sani.
The collection, inspired by the magic of the circus show and with a campaign fronted by actress turned circus master Anya Taylor-Joy and Deva Cassel, reinterprets some of Dior’s best-known makeup products.

“The circus is a never-ending source of inspiration,” said Philips, creative and image director of Dior Makeup. “Its swirl of colors and sequins takes you back to a childhood world inhabited by magicians, trapeze artists and tightrope walkers performing for a wide-eyed audience.”
The fun is set to continue into next year. “Our launches are actually very fun. We have a fun approach to makeup,” Philips teased.
On how it has been working with Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Dior, on the shows, Philips said: “We’ve done two shows together now so we have gotten to know each other. He does a great job. It’s a very different approach and the way he talks about it is very inspiring. I’ve been working with a lot of designers over the years, and every designer has his unique approach. With Jonathan, it’s a whole new way of communicating.”
His is one of collaboration, with more to come on that next year.
