A black-tie ballet gala? Yes, please! Last night the American Ballet Theatre returned to Lincoln Center for its annual Fall Season, with a massive bash that featured dinner, dancing, and a show.

The evening honored Katie Couric (a longtime ABT supporter), and The Shubert Foundation (the nation’s largest funder of unrestricted grants to not-for-profit dance and theater companies). It was also the world premiere of a pas de deux choreographed by ABT principal dancer James Whiteside.

See all of the A-listers who attended — and what they wore — below.
