On a gorgeous Monday night in Manhattan, with a number of guests venturing out to the rooftop terrace to watch the beginnings of a sunset, some of the most notable members of the American fashion, publishing and theater worlds gathered at the British Residence on East 51st Street to pay tribute to Anna Wintour.

Ms. Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue and the artistic director of Condé Nast, had been named a dame by Queen Elizabeth II earlier in the year, and this cocktail party, hosted by Antonia Romeo, Her Majesty’s consul general in New York, was a chance for those in her adopted land to celebrate the occasion.

The designers Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Michael Kors mingled with younger counterparts like Tory Burch, Billy Reid, Thakoon Panichgul and Prabal Gurung, as well as the New Yorker editor David Remnick, the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and the model Gigi Hadid.
