This Fourth of July weekend, the main topic on everyone’s mind was Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s starry New York City wedding. Even if you aren’t a Swiftie, the news dominated the social media feeds and circled the web like a viral pop hit. And so it’s hard to believe that anything else went down in New York between July 1 and 6—and yet, it did. As the month kicked off, celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Millie Bobby Brown to Sofía Vergara, Teyana Taylor, Tate McRae, Martha Stewart, and Snoop Dogg, migrated to the Hamptons for some sun, some lobster rolls, and some partying.
Entrepreneur Michael Rubin hosted his famous All-White Party at his massive home in Bridgehampton on the first of the month—where a romance between Ice Spice and Tobey Maguire stole the show.
And on the second, Montauk’s Surf Lodge opened with a series of all-day bashes in partnership with Nylon—which included everything from a parade of Starbucks refreshers to beat to heat, to a who’s who of reality TV stars.
Murda Beatz, Hugel, and Carlita took the stage to perform in front of the starry crowd, who devoured towers of fancy Popeyes chicken fingers in front of a glowing ocean view (in 100-degree weather). And on July 4th, Snoop Dogg rung in Independence Day with a set of his notorious hits.
All through the holiday weekend, the stars served us plenty of summer party-girl style inspiration. Brown’s slinky tan minidress decorated with silver studs is set to live rent-free in my mind all season. Gonzalez kept things simple in a super-cropped top in olive green. Vergara went for a tie-dye blue maxi dress. And the All-White Party guests took breezy beach dressing up a notch to look red-carpet ready.
Ahead, see photos of the celebrities who started off the season strong out East.
