This past Monday was the third annual white party for Michael Rubin, the CEO of Fanatics, and Camille Fishel, which attracted A-listers, It girls, and in-demand partygoers. On the worldwide party scene, the summer is a sleepy time, with award shows having concluded months earlier and gala season still months away. Their Hamptons home was the site of the much awaited Fourth of July bash. The necessary clothing? Naturally, summer whites.
Choosing the event’s highlights is a difficult undertaking. The venue was a spacious beachside mansion filled to capacity with contemporary artwork, the outside of which gleamed as beautifully as the white costumes that filled it. (At night, the rooftop served as a dance floor with bright pink lighting.) The guest list included a who’s who of Hollywood and sports, including Travis Scott, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, DJ Khaled, Tom Brady, and Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. Even though everyone followed the dress code, two noteworthy outfits were Hailey Bieber’s ruffled Maygel Coronel dress and Kardashian’s opaque two-piece Alaïa suit. The viral video that Lori Harvey recorded of her impromptu fashion presentation for TikTok has nearly 4 million views to date.
Any celebration needs a great music, but Rubin went above and above by getting Usher and Ne-Yo to play. Behind the DJ booths, Jack Harlow and Travis Scott kept the mood lively. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted dancing with Usher, and Affleck more than held his own. Sports icons Robert Kraft and Tom Brady were seen having sex somewhere else.
When it came to the cuisine, nothing was hidden; Brooklyn-born pizza maestro Mark Iacono of Lucali served up his beloved pies. There was also Ace of Spades champagne and Dusse cognac available. During the evening, Kevin Hart, who was among several celebrities endorsing liquor products, started serving shots of his own Gran Cormamino Tequila.
After dusk, the famous Grucci family—who also produce the well-known Macy’s Fourth of July show—lit up the sky with a colorful fireworks spectacular. On the other side of the Atlantic, at Paris Couture Week, there were celebrities in the front rows, but this party seemed to have the whole gorgeous people population to itself. Even a tiny bit of couture was on display.
