The lobby of the Met Breuer building was filled with more blazers than a prep school on Wednesday evening, thanks to workwear brand Argent. The company took over Marcel for a 10th anniversary dinner, celebrating “work friends” and the many women who have become loyalists of their clothes in the past decade.

The presence of Hillary Clinton kept a buzz going throughout the cocktail hour, drawing a small crowd around her wherever she went. Joining Clinton were Huma Abedin, Chloe Fineman, Barbara Bush, Isolde Brielmaier, Amrit Kaur and more.

Fineman paired a plaid blazer from the brand with a pair of jeans, a rare break in the crowd of pantsuits.

“The leaves are turning and it feels great,” the comedian said. “And anything with jeans, I’m happy.”

After seven seasons on SNL, Fineman revealed her exit from the show earlier this year. On the subject of work friends, Fineman pointed to her former SNL family.

“Tonight I’m going to sit next to Keri Powers, who is a producer for SNL. And even though I am on to other things, those are my true work friends,” Fineman said. “We hang out every week.”

Argent has been organizing “work friends” events annually, but founder Sali Christeson said they wanted something extra special for their 10th anniversary.

“There’s so much magic in bringing women together across different cities, industries, jobs, ages, everything. And that was what I always wanted to do,” Christeson said. “And the fact that we’re able to do this at this scale with the women that we have here is a dream realized. To me, it’s less about the brand and more about these women forming new connections that go on to create magic.”

Looking out onto a sea of women in her clothes still remained “surreal,” even 10 years in.

“I don’t know that I’ll actually be able to answer that or process that until after,” she said. “It really feels like a wedding. I have so much gratitude for every woman in this group.”
