OPENING FÊTES FOR CARTIER Dazzling W e knew when we laid eyes on Cassandra Moses, the genius chef at Art 2 Catering, that we were in for a divine dinner. The star of our culinary lineup was the Maine lobster tail with avocado cream and citrus foam, followed by prime beef tenderloin cooked to perfection, and the dessert — heavenly Upside Down Pavlova with thyme- infused whipped cream. Fashion standouts — Bela Cooley, looking statuesque in black Rosie Assoulin and Shelby Goff, who went with a one- shoulder Halpern gown in delicate greens and white. Apparently, they left their husbands at home to enjoy a girl's night out — surrounded by monumental jewels.
