Adorned in everything Audrey, eleven of this season’s debutantes strolled through the courtyard of newly opened Brennan’s for “Breakfast at Brennan’s.” Pearl necklaces rested on the collar of each little black dress, which was complemented by long, black gloves and a tiara nestled gently atop a neatly pulled-back bun as the debs celebrated with a breakfast fit for Hepburn herself. Hosts Kathleen and Terry White honored Scout Beron, Grace Catherin Cary, Clare Conwill, Ellie George, Ashland Hines, Isabel Jackson, Sage Laborde, Laney Langenstein, Maddy Livaudais, Karoline Patrick and Nicole Wienmann. As breakfast began, hot mini-beignets dusted in sugar were passed in paper cones. Demitasse cups of turtle soup and bite-size truffle grilled cheese sandwiches warmed guests before Brennan’s breakfast specialties, including their newly updated grits and grillades, were served. From the bloody marys to the milk punches to the over-the-top dessert display, this event left everyone talking about what a fabulous morning they had. To remember the party, guests left with a chocolate lipstick wrapped in a real lipstick case. The breakfast certainly kept the “mean reds” away. Holly Golightly would agree.
