A Toast to Tony: Inside El Museo’s Million-Dollar Gala

By Christa Terry
A photograph captures two elegantly dressed women seated at a round table during a formal event, surrounded by other attendees in a dimly lit venue with warm, ambient lighting. The older woman on the left wears a black and white patterned jacket with polka dots, a pearl necklace, and pearl earrings, and has short blonde hair styled in soft waves. The younger woman on the right wears an off-the-shoulder floral dress with large ruffled sleeves, bright orange earrings, and has her hair pulled back in a high ponytail. Both women are smiling slightly, looking directly at the camera, with plates of partially eaten food, wine glasses, and a centerpiece of white flowers on the table. A sign with the number "10" is visible in the background, indicating a table assignment at the event.
