The Luxe Hotel Bel Air, Los Angeles (The Hollywood Times) – 1/8/2026
Nathalie Dubois and DPA are back hosting “The DPA Golden Gift Suite” the week of the Golden Globes at The Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel. Nathalie Dubois-Sissoko and DPA are back with their fabulous DPA Golden gift suite in honor of the Golden Globes.
I am very excited to cover this event as some of the brands have been featured in The Hollywood Times from time to time and it’s exciting to see these brands not only expand their successful businesses but also are giving back to the community through their creative endeavors.
The DPA Golden Gift Suite did not forget the one-year anniversary of the tragedy of the LA fires: Maureen Anne Meehan, author of the “60 dates in six months” novel (and soon to be released film), will also be signing her new book, “Inferno on the Coast”. She wrote the book in honor of the fires’ victims, (and 100% of the profits of this book are donated to charitable organizations). DPA invited also again the brand This Girl Walks into A Bar, whose owners lost their house and 75% of their business in the Palisades fire.
The Hollywood Times was able to get an Exclusive Video interview with Maureen Meehan where she shared some personal thoughts and some advice on what to do if God forbid one’s house gets burned down or severely damaged. As I have interviewed Maureen many times, I personally know that her successful career she has is attributed to her compassion and fellowship towards others and giving people words of encouragement, through her brilliance as a judicial officer of the court, author, lawyer, grandma, mother, and recently a Movie Producer. The Novel “Inferno on the Coast” is dedicated to all affected by the devastating palisades fire. To all affected, here is to hope and recovery.
Maureen quote for inspiration “When Paradise meets fire. Only courage survives.” I am also extremely excited to see one of my favorite Clothing brands “Single Tree Lane” by Anita Davenport.
In the heart of Single Tree Lane’s creation lies the dynamic vision of Anita Davenport, a woman whose background is as rich and diverse as her designs. With roots deeply embedded in both Black and multiethnic heritage, Anita’s journey into fashion is not just a tale of personal style but a celebration of cultural diversity and empowerment. As we step into 2026 Anita’s Brand Singletree Lane honors a Divine Feminine collection, featuring over 150 all-over print tops dedicated to showcasing the strength and stoicism of women.
I have many pieces from Single Tree Lane and hoping to get some more at DPA Golden Gift Suite. I wear Single Tree Worldwide, and everyone approaches me in various languages and is aw of such a colorful vibrant design.
DPA and Nathalie Dubois are famous among the stars to always find the best fashion designers, and new jewelry brands: International fashion designer Von Menian will present exquisite gowns for any red carpet appearances, and will gift some of its jewelry and scarves, Vie Lorie together with Balacia created a very cute leather wallet, containing a pair of diamond earrings, and one-of-a-kind jewelry Miliani Creations will bring once again Tahitian black pearls pieces to be gifted to female and male selected guests.
The “coup de Coeur” of DPA is this time L’Amour Mère. Created by Natasha Gregson Wagner (the daughter of Iconic star Natalie Wood), the luxury fragrance line is inspired by generational love, childhood memories and the enduring love shared across generations of grandmothers, mothers and daughters. With scents like the signature “Natalie” featuring gardenia (woods’ favorite), the debut collection features three flagrances, each evoking the memory of Natalie Wood, the French Riviera and Wagner’s Russian grandmother.
Stingray spot remover was also a great addition. This family-owned company produces an exceptional multi-purpose cleaner, and they were in Oprah’s 2025 favorite things!
The gift lounge will be opened to guests January 9th and 10th , 2026 from 10am to 6pm. The LUXE HOTEL SUNSET BOULEVARD is located at 11461 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049
The lounge is expected to welcome many A-list celebrities including stars from shows or movies such as Abbott Elementary, nobody wants this, The Diplomat, Severance, The White Lotus, The Bear, Avatar, Wicked, to name only a few.
