On March 18, Cunard hosted an intimate evening at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo to introduce its latest collaboration with celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger.
Inside a private suite, guests gathered over champagne and caviar, moving easily between conversations and tiered trays of afternoon tea. Finger sandwiches, warm scones, and delicate desserts were served alongside a steady flow of drinks, setting the tone for a night that felt polished and relaxed. The space reflected that energy. Warm wood interiors, soft lighting, and layered textures created a quiet sense of luxury.
A mix of stylists, editors, and fashion insiders filled the room, while Erlanger and her team circulated throughout the evening, greeting each guest. The evening looked to mirror the hospitality experience on board a Cunard voyage. The staging of the suite felt cosy and comfortable allowing for the collaboration to reveal itself through conversation naturally. Erlanger spoke about the partnership with a sense of ease and excitement. She shared that she is currently balancing multiple projects, including work on the upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, while continuing to travel abroad. Her enthusiasm for this collaboration felt grounded, she described it as a natural extension of how people already prepare for travel.

We first met Erlanger last year at a private members’ event at the Bryant Park Hotel. Seeing her again here, the consistency in her approach felt clear. Her work has always been rooted in style and adaptability. It’s not just about what looks good, but what feels right in a specific moment and where her client might be. That perspective carries into her partnership with Cunard. At its core is a bespoke styling program created for Queens Grill and Princess Grill Suite guests, designed to support every stage of the journey. Each guest receives a digital style guide curated by Erlanger, offering direction for different moments at sea, from daytime dressing to gala evenings and afternoon tea. The guide acts as a starting point, helping shape what to pack before the trip even begins. Guests can also book virtual consultations to refine their wardrobe in advance, or opt for in-person sessions at Erlanger’s New York studio.

Cunard has long built its identity around that idea of considered movement. From formal evenings to transatlantic crossings, the brand has maintained a consistent point of view where elegance is part of the experience. This collaboration builds on that foundation by making the process more personal. It acknowledges that what you wear shapes how you move through a space, whether that’s stepping onboard, attending a dinner, or spending an afternoon at sea.
