On Thursday night, everything was coming up Roses for Tiffany & Co. at the launch celebration for its 2026 Blue Book collection.
And also for Connor Storrie, who found himself flanked by Tiffany brand ambassadors Rosé and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for a prime photo-op inside the Park Avenue Armory during cocktail hour. The trio were decked in pieces from the brand’s new Hidden Garden high jewelry collection, which debuted this week.
Newly minted “Tiffany boy” Storrie has been racking up the Tiffany dressing credits in the months since the debut of “Heated Rivalry.” He wore a “pretty epic” diamond choker for the Actor Awards, and a Bird on a Rock brooch for the Golden Globes.

“That was my first time seeing a diamond of that caliber and of that beauty up close. It was pretty impressive,” he said. “ I was definitely like, how does this work? There’s a whole process of like, this is legit, I better not lose this. Luckily we did not — and hopefully I will not do that tonight, either.” The actor was debuting a new Bird on a Rock brooch, perched on an amber spessartite.
“This is so pretty,” exclaimed Rosé as the K-pop singer gently touched Greta Lee’s bright green chrysoprase necklace.
“This is a very special piece. It’s part of the new Blue Book collection,” said Lee of the piece, which features two diamond Bird on a Rock pendants perched on a 22-carat aquamarine. “One of my favorite things that I learned is that it’s convertible. It’s actually a brooch, too,” she added. “So it’s sort of a two-for-one special one. It’s economically a very good deal.”
“Life of the blogger,” said Gabrielle Union from the “blue carpet,” as husband Dwyane Wade discreetly approached with a small video stick.
“You’re gonna enjoy this content later,” he quipped.
Union was wearing one of her personal Tiffany pieces — a ring that Wade gifted her for their 10th wedding anniversary — along with a smattering of diamond high jewelry accessories. Huntington-Whiteley, who features in a new Mother’s Day campaign for the brand, was also donning a cherished jewel: her vintage Tiffany diamond engagement ring.
As guests including Amanda Seyfried, Diane Kruger, Naomi Watts, Chase Sui Wonders, Yuqi and more mingled over cocktails, Teyana Taylor arrived on the carpet after making a last-minute outfit switch. The Oscar-nominated actress landed on a dramatic Calvin Klein coat, which required her to use one hand to keep it closed around her.
“ I’m bummed I didn’t get to wear the dress I had planned for, but I still love I got this moment to pop something off my shoulders and make the moment literally just about the diamonds,” she said. “When I saw this my mouth just dropped and I was like, ‘I need this. This is the one.’”
Beyond matching the elevated aesthetic of the evening, the Park Avenue Armory was also a meaningful setting for the collection’s debut: Louis Comfort Tiffany was commissioned to design the building’s Silver Room and Historic Veterans Room in 1881, both still fully intact.
Dinner was served in the Drill Hall, a typically raw space that was transformed into a “hidden garden” setting with a seemingly endless landscape of flowers and plants extending into the room; all were donated the next day to Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project nonprofit. Guests were seated at one long table, illuminated underneath a foliage-accented pergola and decorated with Tiffany tableware.
Afterwards, a new section of the dark room was illuminated as Mariah Carey’s voice filled the space. The audience quickly flocked to a newly revealed stage as the singer launched into a set of her biggest hits.
“Amazing audience, thank you so much,” she said, after closing out the evening with “We Belong Together.” She gamely waved to a small cluster of photographers before leaving the stage. “And also the cameras.”
