On a quiet street corner in Williamsburg, beneath a glowing neon sign, sits Kellogg’s Diner, which, tonight, has been transformed into club-kid paradise—thanks to one Pat McGrath and four pots of brilliant jewel-toned powder. Riffing on the Tuileries takeover she staged in Paris earlier this fall, McGrath descended on Brooklyn for another guerrilla-style makeup happening—only this time with an explosively colorful and subversive twist.
As models like Hailey Baldwin and Stella Maxwell slid into burgundy leather booths lit by pink and orange bulbs alongside downtown girls Petra Collins, Tavi Gevinson, and Carlotta Kohl, McGrath and her 20-person team began dipping into rich, reflective pots of magenta, violet, sapphire, and gold paint. Also on the scene: editorial hairstylist and longtime friend Guido Palau—who slicked strands back into wet chignons, teased them into bouffant ’dos, and twisted them into froths of curls—and manicurist Jin Soon, who painted nails in bright high-gloss varnish.
Inspired by the dark, glittering spirit of the New York party scene—and the late-night hangs that come with it—they transformed the crowd into a gang of cat-eyed punks and Bowie-esque glitz kids with flecks of shimmering shadow that floated through the room. What followed was a riotous celebration of color that invaded our Instagram feeds through the hashtags #PatsDiner and #Phantom002—and proved that in the right hands, a powerful pigment can make the night come alive.
