A constellation of celebrities and prominent media personalities gathered in New York City on Wednesday evening to celebrate the engagement of Alex Soros, noted philanthropist, and Huma Abedin, former aide to Hillary Clinton. The exclusive event, hosted at the SoHo residence of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, saw a blend of political and entertainment figures.
Among the notable attendees were former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, alongside MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Adding a touch of Hollywood glamour were actor Adrian Brody and Georgina Chapman, accompanied by fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, media executive Barry Diller.
The engagement of Soros and Abedin was initially announced earlier this year via social media. Soros shared a heartwarming photograph of the proposal, capturing the moment he knelt before Abedin. Abedin, in turn, had previously revealed their relationship in a Valentine's Day post, showcasing the couple enjoying a romantic Parisian setting.

This engagement follows seven years after Abedin's separation from her former husband, Anthony Weiner. Abedin, a longtime associate of Hillary Clinton, has served in various capacities, including roles at the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, and the 2016 presidential campaign. She currently contributes to MSNBC.
Soros, who assumed leadership of the Open Society Foundations in 2023, has been increasingly active in political circles, meeting with prominent Democratic figures and even engaging with Pope Francis. He has also made numerous visits to the White House.
