More than 100 of Hollywood's brightest artists donned designer lounge wear and their coziest pajamas, sipped peppermint martinis, and were gifted with spa packages. The event was hosted by James Guidotti, CEO of Giovanni, whose Sunset Strip hair stylist father Arthur Guidotti founded the haircare brand in the 1960s to become the "OG of Hollywood Hair." Dressed in a Versace smoking jacket, Guidotti welcomed guests at the home of celebrity stylist Dean Banowetz, aka Hollywood Hair Guy. As a gift to the Boys & Girls Club, Hollywood and the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, guests arrived with toys to bring cheer to LA's youth. The stylists, too, were showered with gifts from Giovanni. The key players of style were all in attendance, including the tress talent for Jamie Lee Curtis, Post Malone, Prince, Scarlett Johansson, Jamie Foxx, and for films such as Avatar, Barbie, The Hunger Games to Tombstone and beyond. Local 706 President Julie Socash was also front and center for the celebration. ERRATA: In the Winter 2025 issue's article "Looking at The Book of Clarence," it was omitted that Department Head Make-up Matiki Anoff designed the looks on all principals who did not have a personal make-up artist. She also collaborated with the crowd supervisor to design all the looks on the background performers in the film.
