Experience the glamorous Prêt-à-Portea, The Red Carpet Collection, where iconic fashion moments are reimagined in dessert form at The Maybourne Beverly Hills

If you're into high tea and high fashion, you’re going to love this! According to the Daily Front Row, the Maybourne Beverly Hills just launched Prêt-à-Portea, The Red Carpet Collection, and it’s seriously next-level. This is the first time this chic, fashion-forward tea experience has landed in the US, and it’s already making waves.

What makes it so special? Imagine enjoying your afternoon tea while indulging in desserts that pay homage to some of the most iconic fashion moments from the red carpet. These aren’t your average scones and finger sandwiches. Each sweet treat is a nod to a glamorous look from past Oscars, Grammys, and other big events, all reimagined by the hotel’s executive pastry chef, Brooke Martin. And just like at its sister hotel, The Berkeley in London, the treats are as fashionable as they are delicious.


Set in the hotel’s gorgeous Terrace Tearoom, which blends Hollywood glitz with the beauty of English garden elegance, the experience is nothing short of stunning. The Prêt-à-Portea collection serves up a variety of fashion-inspired desserts on striped china by Bernardaud, adding an extra layer of luxury to your tea time.
Here are just a few of the red-carpet-worthy treats you'll get to try:
Björk’s 2001 Oscars Swan Dress: A passion fruit pavlova shaped like the infamous dress.
Michelle Williams’s 2006 Oscars Gown: A lemon and vanilla biscuit inspired by her Vera Wang dress.
Lupita Nyong’o’s 2015 Oscars Look: A Vanilla St. Honoré representing her pearl-covered Calvin Klein dress.
Taylor Swift’s 2021 Grammys Outfit: Christian Louboutin sandal-shaped biscuits in soft pink.
Angela Bassett’s Judith Leiber Clutch: A black cherry sacher torte inspired by her lip-shaped clutch.
And that’s just the beginning! You’ll also find desserts like a gold-dusted coffee mousse inspired by Billy Porter’s bold Oscars outfit in 2020 and an Earl Grey mousse éclair designed after Margot Robbie’s 2021 Chanel look. There’s even a Zendaya-inspired strawberry mousse that brings her colorful 2023 SAG Awards dress to life.

Of course, no collection of iconic red-carpet moments would be complete without Jennifer Lopez’s viral 2000 Grammys dress by Versace. You can enjoy a coconut mousse with pistachio sponge and pineapple-lime chutney that perfectly captures the essence of J.Lo’s unforgettable look that helped launch Google Images.
This isn’t just tea—it’s an afternoon filled with delicious bites and unforgettable fashion. If you’re a fan of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, or just someone who loves a good cup of tea, you’ll want to make a reservation for Prêt-à-Portea, The Red Carpet Collection at The Maybourne Beverly Hills. The experience is available every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM PST, and reservations can be made on their website.
Trust me, this is one tea experience you don’t want to miss—especially if you want to feel like you’re sipping tea right alongside the stars!
