A crowd of more than 500 attended the Saks launch party gala on 09/26 to celebrate the store's new renovation and support the MSPCC. The Cavalcade of Stars performed, featuring "Cher," "Tina Turner," "Elton John," "Madonna," "The Blues Brothers," and the emcee, "Austin Powers." Cupcakes were provided by Courtney Forrester's Sweet, and the signature drink of the evening was the Swarovski Crystal Pear Martini (in honor of the store's Swarovski crystal mural).
