Tiffany & Co. opened its largest West Coast flagship store at South Coast Plaza in a black-tie celebration featuring celebrities, VIPs and press. The 15,000-square-foot boutique, designed by renowned architect Peter Marino, marks a significant expansion of the luxury jeweller's retail presence and celebrates California's cultural influence on the brand's design.

The store showcases California-inspired elements, including artworks by Damien Hirst and Michelangelo Pistoletto, alongside rare gems such as a morganite from Mesa Grande. The opening featured the inaugural Blue Box Café outside New York, led by acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, which served a French-influenced menu including Santa Barbara spot prawns and wild turbot. The evening concluded with a performance by singer Ashe, who performed her hits and paid tribute to Dolly Parton.
