At the Beyond Miraculous cocktail party La Mer threw for special guests at the Grand Hyatt Ballroom, the brand reiterated its founding scientist's exploration of marine nutrients - over the course of 6,000 experiments - to achieve a patented Miracle Broth with regenerative properties for the skin.
Celebrities such as Louis Koo Tin-lok, Charlie Young Choi-nei, Vanessa Yung and Ankie Beilke sipped champagne and tested the different versions of this healing concoction at booths lining the space on Friday.
In a rather literal interpretation of the 'miraculous' properties of the oceanic 'primordial soup', guests were treated to a performance by two female dancers, clad in skin-tight white body suits, splashing about in a giant glass soup tureen.
The dancers, who took their bows in dripping wet and somewhat see-through costumes at the end, received plenty of applause and the glare of multiple camera flashes for their trouble.
