Jill Zarin’s Luxury Luncheon is back—and with it, the Hamptons' social season finds its unofficial high point. Returning to Southampton in summer 2025, the star-studded gathering promises a dazzling intersection of glamour, philanthropy, and curated indulgence, all under the curation of event impresarios Brian Kelly and Sean Koski of Ticket2Events.
The invitation-only experience—hosted by television personality and entrepreneur Jill Zarin—has built a reputation not just for who attends, but how the event seamlessly blends lifestyle experiences with meaningful impact. The luncheon honors the memory of Zarin’s late husband, Bobby Zarin, with proceeds supporting cancer research.
This year’s activations spotlight an impressive lineup of brands across beauty, fashion, tech, wellness, and home. The return of the coveted Beauty Bar offers guests access to prestige offerings from upLift 5, Coola, LUMIFY® Redness Reliever Eye Drops, Saint Jo Skincare, and more. Dolce Aesthetics NY and Rowe Plastic Surgery will be on-site delivering in-demand aesthetic treatments, while Addyi—the only FDA-approved medication designed to enhance women’s libido—will also make a debut appearance.
Actor Jesse Metcalfe is bringing his new skincare line, NUTRL Skin, directly to Hamptons attendees, launching it in tandem with Buff Medical Resort—a high-end wellness destination based on Lake Constance in Germany.
Fashion and lifestyle brands will have a strong presence through interactive displays. Guests can explore Jill Zarin Rugs, smart-home innovations by MyQ by Chamberlain, and chic collections from Tommy Hilfiger and Print Fresh. There’s also a spotlight on Jill Zarin Home’s latest additions—Palm Springs-inspired indoor-outdoor rugs, hand-blown candles co-designed with daughter Ally Shapiro, and a new bedding line now retailing at Bealls Florida and HomeGoods.
Complementing the on-site experience is the highly anticipated $5,000-valued gift bag—curated with a best-in-class collection of prestige items from brands like Sunday Riley, Sol de Janeiro, Vacation Inc., EltaMD, Truvani, GrandeLASH, and NewBeauty. Official bags from Hulken and Dagne Dover will be packed with coveted products, with Roadway Moving ensuring seamless delivery for all attendees.
The debut of a new VIP Premier Lounge will keep guests refreshed with Avaline Wine, Piñaq Cocktails, Tequila Pantalones, Boxed Water, LaCroix, and Cold Snap—the buzzed-about on-demand ice cream maker. Hamptons Catered Affairs will handle a bespoke summer lunch menu, topped off with sweet indulgences from Levain Bakery.
As always, the guest list reads like a who’s who of reality TV and social media elite. Zarin will be joined by cast members from Real Housewives franchises across New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, and Potomac—including Luann de Lesseps, Teresa Giudice, Cynthia Bailey, and Phaedra Parks. Bravo staples like Marysol Patton and Gizelle Bryant will mix with Netflix personalities like Joey Sasso (The Circle), Jade Shenker (Owning Manhattan), and Shannon St. Claire (Love Island). Other confirmed names include Jesse Metcalfe, Foodgod, Patti Stanger, and Dina Lohan.
More than just a gathering of influencers and industry figures, Jill Zarin’s Luxury Luncheon has become a platform for advocacy, beauty, and connection—with a touch of indulgence. As Ticket2Events continues to evolve the event’s offerings, the luncheon remains an anchor in the East End’s calendar and a testament to the power of thoughtful, stylish celebration with purpose.
