Ariana Grande, Reese Witherspoon and More Attend the WSJ Innovators Dinner at MoMA in New York

On Tuesday night in New York, the WSJ Innovator Awards brought an influential and wide-ranging crowd out to the Museum of Modern Art. The evening began with a cocktail in the museum’s lobby that sometimes left the stars star-struck: Ariana Grande’s mouth dropped in awe as she entered the room while WNBA player A’ja Wilson posed with glammed-up New York Liberty mascot Ellie the Elephant. (Ellie was a popular photo op throughout cocktail hour.) Soon, Grande was holding court where the carpet delivered guests back into cocktail hour. Grande posed for photos with Reese WItherspoon and Tim Cook as photographers, handlers and bodyguards encircled them — not your usual New York party photo trio. “You look gorgeous,” said Charli XCX, holding Grande’s hands as she took in the star’s Vivienne Westwood Bridal look. Grande was soon joined by her “Wicked” costar Cynthia Erivo, who was dressed in green for the evening. The pair walked off hand-in-hand to the carpet, where they found “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu. The duo were on hand to present Chu his WSJ Innovator award later in the evening. The director was being honored alongside “Saturday Night Live,” Cook, Marc Jacobs, Charli XCX, the WNBA and Salma Hayek Pinault
