From Jessica Alba and Portia de Rossi, to Andre Iguodala and Steve Kerr, multiple celebrities were seen adorned in dazzling outfits attending RH's (formerly Restoration Hardware) gallery premiere party last Thursday, March 17th. The home luxury gallery settles in what was once the Bethlehem Steel Building on Pier 70 in the Dogpatch, and features five showroom floors, the Palm Court restaurant, and renovated art-deco elevators.

Seen riding these elevators to mingle and lounge with Napa and Sonoma wines up on the rooftop terrace were Warriors players Andre Iguodala, Juan Toscano Anderson, Otto Porter, and coach Steve Kerr. Kerr told Vogue, "The arena is right down the street, so we may come here after games." As renovations of the venue persevered during the last few years of COVID lockdowns, its star-studded debut signals refreshment for both the neighborhood and Restoration Hardware's style. "I don’t remember the last event like this," Kerr fondly states. "This gathering feels like the city is coming back alive."

Others seen gracing the gallery's pink Calacatta-marbled foyer in sleek outfits were actresses Alexandra Daddario, Erin and Sara Foster, and artist Bella Hunter. Similarly dressed stunningly were spouses Ellen Degeneres in a charcoal bomber and Portia De Rossi in a Celine wrap skirt, who were seen drawing laughs as they took comical photos at the grand staircase.

De Rossi has a particularly significant connection with RH, as her company General Public has cultivated a partnership with the 42-year old company for the last four years. General Public offers high quality reproductions of artwork for more accessible prices, which aligns perfectly with colleague and RH CEO Gary Friedman's vision. “Gary’s a big thinker, and we both agree it’s silly that an artist should make one piece and sell it to just one person," De Rossi stated. The two were seen sharing laughs while LA musician Shallou's beats thumped in the background. “It’s obvious that Gary is drawn to amazing architecture, structure, and form," De Rossi continues, "and that’s how he makes such beautiful pieces. He loves clean lines and classic pieces.”

Another notable figure in the gallery was actress and Honest Beauty co-founder Jessica Alba. The talented businesswoman sported a yellow tweed mini dress by designer Rowen Rose. She was seen meeting the event's chef Val Cantu of Californio.
