The Ultimate Friendsgiving

A festive dinner for Estée Lauder and Zalando Beauty inspired by the world of beauty
- where makeup meets the art of dining.

For Estée Lauder and Zalando Beauty, Vitamin Color curated The Ultimate Friendsgiving - a festive dinner inspired by the world of beauty and the rituals of care and generosity that define the brand.

The menu reinterpreted the language of makeup into a series of edible gestures - playful, elegant, and celebratory. A set of six appetizers, presented like an eyeshadow palette, introduced the evening: each bite a different color, texture, and flavor designed to awaken the senses.

The main course featured a butternut squash and mushroom Wellington, wrapped like a gift box, symbolizing both celebration and craftsmanship. Alongside it, a cranberry sauce shaped like lips paid tribute to Estée Lauder’s legacy in beauty, while a radish and celeriac salad arranged as a red-and-white candy-cane mosaic evoked the joy and nostalgia of the holidays.

The atmosphere was intimate and luminous: a table of warmth, color, and shared delight.
