High-end fashion brands take over the Hamptons party scene
The Hamptons, never short on chic, managed to be even more glamorous with a weekend packed with parties thrown by fashion brands.
Gucci held a huge bash at stylist Elizabeth Saltzman’s estate in East Hampton where guests took golf carts to get to the grounds. A-listers like supermodel Christy Turlington, Spike Lee, fashion veteran Bethann Hardison, Natasha Lyonne, Sophia Bush and socialites like Athena Calderone and Casey Fremont hit a neon-colored dance floor and got down to tunes spun by Mark Ronson and Kitty Cash.
Christian Louboutin hosted a lunch at Duryea’s in Montauk for their new Greekaba capsule collection, serving up ouzo and octopus with live music from a traditional bouzouki player. Newly single Minka Kelly, whose ex Trevor Noah has been spending time in the area with pals this summer, was spotted at the event. Other guests showing off their “red bottoms” included “White Lotus,” star Lukas Gage and celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson.
And another day, another celebrity beverage launch. Model Bella Hadid made the rounds promoting her new non alcoholic brand Kin Euphorics, hanging out at local Montauk joint John’s Drive-In.

Palmer, who is starring in the new Jordan Peele film “Nope,” mingled with guests like designers Prabal Gurung, Brandon Maxwell, and LaQuan Smith.
