The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism took center stage at the 2012 Red Carpet Celebrity Style Lounge on 22 February 2012 at the L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Celebrities and VIPs in attendance received lavish gift bags highlighting the Dominican Republic's coveted Arturo Fuentes cigars and Godiva's rich Santo Domingo chocolate.
Magaly Toribio, Vice Minister of International Promotion from the Ministry of Tourism said: "Dominican Republic is becoming a major presence in Hollywood with a newly inaugurated Dominican Republic Film Commission office in Los Angeles and many new incentives for producers to film in our magnificent country. Because many Dominican celebrities call the Los Angeles area their second home, we are especially pleased to share the tastes and styles of our large island nation at the Academy Awards Gifting Suite."
Dominican-born designer Lucia Rodriguez was at the Celebrity Lounge event styling celebrities with her gowns.
Dominican Republic is a popular destination for Hollywood's elite, as well as the perfect film location for international television and movies. In 2011, the government of Dominican Republic announced the new, state-of-the-art Pinewood Indomina Studios, which will further enhance the growth in film and TV production in the country.
The Red Carpet Celebrity Style Lounge was held in honor of the 84th Annual Academy Awards, Hollywood's celebration of the biggest names in the film industry hosted by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Nominees, celebrities, press and more attended the event, which raised money for The Humane Society of the United States.
