The Hamptons were brimming with excitement over Memorial Day weekend as celebrities flocked to the luxurious destination. Rapper 50 Cent dazzled a stylish crowd at Surf Lodge in Montauk with a surprise performance. Among the attendees were Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, who had recently tied the knot, as well as Liev Schreiber and Sports Illustrated cover model Brooks Nader. The bubbly brand, Le Chemin du Roi, was reportedly flowing during 50 Cent’s set, adding to the festive atmosphere.
During the weekend, various celebrities were spotted engaging in leisurely activities around the Hamptons. Millie Bobby Brown and Jon Bon Jovi’s son were seen exploring the racks at Alice + Olivia in East Hampton, with Brown adding some summer pieces to her wardrobe. The “Stranger Things” star appeared to be in a shopping mood, picking out a floral dress and the “Harmony” skirt with tulips. Meanwhile, “Vanderpump Rules” star James Kennedy attracted a lively crowd at Bounce in Montauk with his DJ show, even standing on the bar to pour champagne for partygoers. Notably, despite the festive atmosphere, Kennedy, who is sober, refrained from drinking during the performance. He even took a moment to FaceTime his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, while shirtless on stage.
The weekend was not only filled with glamorous performances and shopping sprees but also exclusive dining experiences and celebrity sightings. The Parrish Art Museum in Southampton hosted Canvas & Cuisine, a curated dining experience by esteemed chef Angie Mar of Le B. Attendees included prominent figures in the fashion industry such as Khaite founder Catherine Holstein and ARIAS creative director Nina Sarin Arias. Over at Sunset Beach in Shelter Island, reality star Luann de Lesseps was spotted enjoying some downtime. Additionally, Mary-Kate Olsen and former Rangers player Sean Avery were seen browsing through de Lesseps’ new store in Amagansett, sparking rumors of a potential romance.
As the summer season kicks off, new establishments have emerged in the Hamptons to cater to the influx of visitors. N’AMO restaurant in Montauk, Village Bistro in East Hampton, and the new Grey/Ven store are among the trendy spots that have recently opened their doors. Maverick’s owners have also expanded their presence with the launch of Shark Bar in Montauk, transforming the former Cyril’s space into a vibrant new destination for patrons. The Hamptons continue to evolve as a playground for the rich and famous, offering a blend of entertainment, luxury, and high-end experiences for all who visit.
