July 26th came and went, and with that, Jill Zarin’s 12th Annual Luxury Luncheon sadly came to an end. Put together by celebrity event planners Brian Kelly and Sean Koski of Ticket2Events, Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin put together an event to remember. Here are all the highlights that you may have missed.
The Stars
Held at the Southampton Inn, there wouldn’t be a star-studded event without some of the biggest names from the Real Housewives franchise present. Ally Shapiro, Zarin’s daughter, came to support her mother and promote their shared brand, Jill Zarin Home. Several television personalities returned to the event after attending last year, including Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Aydin and Real Housewives of Dallas star LeeAnne Locken. Other Housewives who graced the red carpet included Kristen Taekman, Luann de Lesseps, and Cynthia Bailey.
The Products
This year, the best brands and the brightest in wellness, lifestyle, and beauty came to showcase their products. The hottest rolling tote bag brand, Hulken, held a gorgeous photo booth station featuring a swing and a rotating display of their bags filled with dozens of flowers. Saint Jo Skincare uniquely displayed their products in a vending machine, one of the first vending machines to dispense skincare products and not snacks. Addyi, an FDA-approved pill for women’s sex drives, brought in a hot pink car to wrap up their station. Actor Jesse Metcalfe also brought his skincare brand NUTRL Skin to the table.
The Food
There can’t be a luncheon without food, and this year, there were a variety of different vendors. Shrimpy’s Burrito Bar held a food truck station in front of the Southampton Inn, while Hamptons Catered Affairs brought rounds of hors d’oeuvres out for guests. Famous New York bakery Levain brought a selection of their most popular cookies, and drinks were provided by LaCroix Sparkling Water, Boxed Water, and Piñaq. Cold Snap brought their frozen treat machine, which dispensed creamy ice cream using cans—almost like a pod coffee machine!
The Gift Bag
The Annual Luxury Luncheon is famous for its enormous gift bags, and this year didn’t disappoint! Wrapped in a shiny Hulken bag, it featured a curated selection of summer “must-haves” for all the event’s VIPs. Top brands like Sunday Riley, Sol de Janeiro, Vacation Inc., Truvani, Akar Skin, EltaMD, GrandeLASH, Cann, Athena Club, Lola Blankets, Good Wipes, and Beauty Bio brought their most popular products, valued at up to $5,000.
