La Ligne marked its tenth anniversary with an intimate dinner party at The Pool + Grill in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday night. Founders Molly Howard, Valerie Macaulay, and Meredith Melling hosted a guest list including Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Emma Stone, Seth Meyers, Olivia Wilde, Grace Gummer, Nina Dobrev, Noah Kahan, and Laura Brown. The evening featured an ice luge, custom doodle tablecloths by Arianna Margulis, and a three-course dinner. Howard revealed her parents were married at the venue, while Macaulay wore the same white satin pants she made for her own wedding in 2016.
