Marcella Hymowitz knew that she wanted to host a memorable celebration for her husband Gregg’s 60th birthday, but she wasn’t sure what to do for it. Inspiration struck when she was reminiscing about her own prom and Gregg reminded her that he didn’t go to his: “I looked at him and was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s it — we’re going to have a prom! I’m throwing you a prom!’”
The Hymowitzes are billionaires, so this wasn’t going to take place in a high-school gym. “I wanted to make it the most over-the-top ’80s prom ever,” says Hymowitz, who runs a workout and dance studio for children and adults called the Pearl NYC. “Think Dynasty — elegant, high end — not frizzy hair and neon,” she says.
