In Beverly Hills, where red carpet photo ops have been elevated to an art form, The Peninsula Beverly Hills launches the newest addition to its Peninsula Academy: “The Red Carpet-Ready Experience,”  which offers guests the opportunity to be photographed in a style that captures the glamour of celebrities on the red carpet at a movie premiere, the Emmys, or the Academy Awards. This Peninsula Beverly Hills program is one that women, men or couples will long remember.

The “Red Carpet-Ready Experience” begins in the privacy of the guests’ hotel room or suite, when a professional stylist does their hair and makeup so that they are red-carpet ready. The stylist will consult with female guests as they borrow exquisite pieces from the hotel’s exclusive Henri J. Sillam  jewelry boutique to glamorize their gowns. The guests will then be photographed by award-winning Hollywood photographer Ryan Forbes, whose work has appeared in Town & Country and Elle Décor.

During the photo shoot Forbes will pose the guests in elegant settings within the hotel such as the Living Room or the Roof Garden, or stepping out of the hotel’s Rolls-Royce. For the full red carpet experience, guests can be photographed against The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ step-and-repeat banner, a backdrop like those used at Hollywood movie premieres and awards events. A week later, the guests will receive a selection of proofs from which to select the perfect portrait. The “Red Carpet-Ready Experience,” including the in-room styling, photo session and two 8-inch x 10-inch color portraits, is US$ 950.

Peninsula Academy reservations are subject to availability and advanced booking is required. Contact The Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel Concierge for details at (1-310) 551 2888 or e-mail pbh@peninsula.com.
