Viktoria wears a Romona Keveza dress ($3,850, Neiman Marcus Chevy Chase) and Sergio Rossi gold crystal T-strap sandals ($2,590, Sergiorossi.com) with Hearts On Fire drop earrings ($5,500) and a Michael Beaudry diamond ring ($47,730, both, Chas. Schwartz & Son). Justin wears a tuxedo ($595), shirt ($98), scarf ($250) and onyx cuff links and studs ($130, all J. Press), with patent leather lace-up shoes ($980, Gucci, Fairfax Square, 8075 Leesburg Pike, Vienna; 703-506-6804) and a Vitaliano Pancaldi tie ($110) and cummerbund ($240, both, Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store). Cover image and various photos were shot in the new W Hotel Washington D.C. (515 15th St. NW; 202- 661-2400), where glimpses of the building’s historic roots as the former Hotel Washington mix with mod decor (lipstick-red sofas, Versailles-meets-Vegas chandeliers). Additional photos were taken at recently reopened downtown hotel The Jefferson (1200 16th St. NW; 202-448-2300), where a two-year-long refurbishment recaptured the property’s neoclassical Beaux Arts swagger.
