Summer is a drowsy time for international parties – awards shows are long gone and awards season is still months away – but this past Monday, A-listers, It girls and hot party facilities descend upon Michael Rubin (CEO of Fanatics) and Camille Fisher for their third annual white party. The high-profile event was held at their home in the Hamptons to celebrate Independence Day. Dress code? Summer White of course.
The highlights of the event are hard to narrow down. The venue is a sprawling waterfront building brimming with contemporary art, its exterior as gleaming as the white monolith that fills the space. (At night, the rooftop turns into a dance floor, flashing neon pink.) The guest list featured a who’s who of entertainment and sports: Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner , Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Travis Scott, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Kevin Hart, DJ Khaled, Tom Brady, Emily Ratajkowski and more. While everyone followed the dress code, there were some standout outfits – Hailey Bieber in a pleated dress by Colombian label Maygel Coronel; Kardashian in an opaque two-piece Alaïa look. In the kitchen, Lori Harvey put together an impromptu fashion show for TikTok, a white-hot video that has racked up nearly 4 million views to date.
Any party needs a great playlist, but Rubin takes things to the next level, helping to promote Usher and Neo’s performances. Behind the DJ booth were Travis Scott and Jack Harlow, and their spirits were running high. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted on the dance floor with Usher, and Affleck really kept his style around the two superstars. Elsewhere, sports icons Robert Kraft and Tom Brady could be seen catching up.
When it comes to food, nothing is spared; just back from Brooklyn with Lucali’s Pizza Guru Mark • Mark Iacono dedicates his beloved pie. Ace of Spades Champagne and Dusse Cognac were also offered. At one point, Kevin Hart (one of the night’s many liquor-brand celebrities) started posing for shots of his own Gran Cormamino tequila.
After sunset, the sky is illuminated by a ray of light. Spectacular fireworks display by the famous Grucci family (the Grucci family also curated the famous Macy’s National Day Show). Across the Atlantic, Paris Fashion Week is in full swing, and while there are celebrities in the front row, it’s clear the party seems to have a monopoly on beautiful people. Plus, there was even some haute couture on display.
