On Saturday, the Dolce restaurant hosted the “Top 10 Social Ladies of Ukraine” award ceremony, organized by the team of the TV project “High Life with Ekaterina Osadcha.” The event started according to all social rules - with a traditional red carpet, photo call and welcome drink. True, the path, spread along the wall and fenced with ropes, looked more like a boxing ring, around which photographers, journalists and passersby crowded.

At the entrance to the secular reservation, guests were greeted by a doorman and a lady with a dog - a luxurious black shepherd dog, which loudly barked at the first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Denis Bass. After the shepherd, Mr. Bass was attacked by journalists, to whom he told about the rules of wearing a tuxedo. Following the deputy mayor were the leader of the Labor Ukraine party Valery Konovaluk, people's deputy Bohdan Gubsky and his wife Evgenia, honorary president of the public organization Culture and Universe 2000 Marina Kinakh, writers Les Podervyansky and Andrey Kurkov, as well as a special guest of the ceremony - a player Italian Milan Kakha Kaladze (pictured). However, the appearance of Mr. Kaladze in an elegantly wrinkled tuxedo went virtually unnoticed: while the football player was walking along the red carpet, the black limousine of singer Alexander Ponomarev was parked at the curb.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the welcoming speeches ended, and the guests were offered a welcome drink from the Amsterdam art duo Happy Hour Chandelier: dancer Nanine Laining in a white swimsuit hung upside down on an improvised chandelier and poured Mumm champagne from bottles hanging around her into glasses served from below by the designer Marcel Wenders.

After sipping champagne, the guests finally hid from the annoying gaze of the public behind the doors of the restaurant, where ten Kyiv socialites were presented with insignia.
