"LUX Magazine Sets the Hamptons Ablaze!"

In an unforgettable soirée, LUX Lifestyle Magazine set the Hamptons ablaze with its second annual LUX HOT LIST party, held amidst the lush gardens of none other than the hottest bed and breakfast in the Hamptons: The Baker House 1650. The event was a visual delight, as captured by the talented lens of Sara Stone and Mixmediaplus.

The crème de la crème of Hot List award winners and esteemed guests came together under the starry Hamptons sky to celebrate the release of the latest issue, graced by the dazzling Bethenny Frankel on the cover. Haute Hamptonites mingled with visitors from distant shores, strolling through the enchanting gardens while toasting with the finest sparkling wines courtesy of Single Married Divorced. The music duo MOJO played under the tree canopy. But the evening's pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the bespoke signature cocktails concocted by none other than Curamia Tequila, Elysabeth Vineyards, Montauk Distiller, and Via Carota. The latest energy sensation, Gorgie, made its debut and left everyone buzzing with excitement.

Feeding the eager crowd was none other than New York's culinary virtuoso, Janet O'Brien, who served mouthwatering bites that left guests yearning for more. Food enthusiasts found their haven at the bountiful Fresh Direct stand, where they eagerly gathered bags brimming with the freshest seasonal vegetables.

Fashionistas were in for a treat as designer Kimberly Pucci, hailing from Newport, RI, unveiled her latest collection before hitting the runway at NYFW. The event also featured a bloom bar that was nothing short of spectacular, as guests were gifted exquisite Island florals to grace their homes.

The showpiece of the evening was the coveted gifting table, where guests had the privilege of filling their beach totes with luxury products from this year's illustrious winners, including Rebesana, HECH, Columbia Skincare, Aisi Apparel Co., AX3, Beautifect, and a bevy of beauty treasures that left everyone feeling like they had just stepped into a world of opulence and indulgence.
