Last night's Create & Cultivate 100 list party was no average awards season fête. Held at Milk Studios in Hollywood, the bash celebrated successful women from across 10 industries, with guests ranging from red carpet regulars like award-winning actress Hilary Swank and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to entrepreneurs like ClassPass founder Payal Kadakia and The Goods Mart founder Rachel Krupa to content creator/artist Laci Jordan to celeb hairstylist Justine Marjan and more.
There was plenty to keep guests entertained at the Chevrolet-sponsored black carpet party, which featured 100 music honoree/DJ Lola Langola (who spun everything from hip hop to classic '90s R&B beats), a pink video booth, and even a wall where guests could ring a doorbell for Milkbar cookies and Chandon champagne. (Of course, the bubbly and treats were served up by a gloved hand through a window — which you might've caught on our Instagram Stories?)
We were on the scene to chat with a handful of inspiring honorees and attendees to ask, "What's a skill that you've cultivated that has helped lead to your success?" Below, see who we caught up with along with their wise words of wisdom (and see more on our IG Stories from the event), check out the full 100 list at Create & Cultivate here, and scroll through the gallery above to see who else attended the starry soirée.
"I am a multi-tasker and I love to have my hands in everything. I'm not someone who waits for a job as an actress. I like to be able to produce and be creative and have a makeup line and music. I think being a multi-tasker has helped me." — Ashley Tisdale
"The skill that I've cultivated but have not mastered yet is trying to focus on my strengths and delegate other areas that are not my strength to other people." — Caitlyn Crosby, founder of The Giving Keys and Brave Kids Collection
"Communication that is direct, but kind." — Meritt Elliott (left), designer and co-founder of The Great. and Emily + Meritt
"To not be so sensitive and to really let things roll off my back." — Emily Current (right), designer and co-founder of The Great. and Emily + Meritt
"A skill that I've cultivated over time that I feel like has led to my success is my ability to focus. I can focus when I'm in a room or at a party and just really make sure that I'm solving a problem in my mind. That's really helped me solve anything I ever need to." — Payal Kadakia Pujji, founder of ClassPass and artistic director of Sa Dance Company
"Say the first positive thought that comes to my mind when I'm in a crowd to whoever will listen." — Daniel Musto, celebrity stylist and fashion expert
