Pamela Morgan Brings Saint-Tropez to the Hamptons with a Glamorous Summer Soirée
A Taste of the Côte d’Azur in Water Mill
On Saturday night, the Hamptons social calendar reached new heights of sophistication as Pamela Morgan—lifestyle expert, chef, and entertaining maven—hosted La Vie & Luxe: A Night in Saint-Tropez at her Water Mill estate. Co-hosted with her husband Michael Trokel, the evening drew an elegant crowd of 125 guests for a French Riviera–themed fête that blended style, spectacle, and Morgan’s signature hospitality.
Timed as a celebratory follow-up to her recent New York cabaret performance Girl Talk, the event transported attendees straight to the South of France—without ever leaving the East End.
Curated by a Master of Celebration
A longtime force in luxury entertaining, Pamela Morgan has made a career out of crafting immersive experiences that go beyond the expected. With Flirting With Flavors, her events and culinary brand, she’s spent more than two decades cultivating her distinctive vision: part cookbook, part cabaret, and entirely captivating.
For La Vie & Luxe, Morgan collaborated with Hank Stampfl of Revel Rouge to produce an evening that felt more like a Mediterranean reverie than a summer party. Every detail—from the tabletop dancers channeling the beach clubs of Pampelonne to the curated menus—was designed to echo the glamour and indulgence of Saint-Tropez.
From Cuisine to Cabaret: A Multi-Sensory Affair
The culinary component was headlined by Rogue Catering, whose Riviera-inspired dishes set the tone for a night of elevated indulgence. The Cocktail Collective delivered a lineup of expertly mixed drinks, evoking sun-drenched afternoons and twilight aperitifs on the French coast.
Live music and a buzzing dance floor encouraged guests to linger well into the evening, as firelight and starlight cast a glow over the estate. Guests sipped, swayed, and socialized amid breezy décor and Mediterranean flair—a setting designed not only for beauty, but for connection.
A Guest List with Star Power
As expected, the guest list sparkled. Notable attendees included Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Candace Bushnell, Frederick Anderson, Jean Shafiroff, Wendy Federman, Leesa Rowland, and Prince Mario Max, creating a rare mix of fashion, art, media, and high-society camaraderie. Yet despite the marquee names, the atmosphere remained relaxed and playful—true to Morgan’s ethos of joyful, gracious entertaining.
Pamela Morgan: More Than a Host
Pamela Morgan has long been known for her ability to blur the lines between chef, host, performer, and curator. With her monthly blog, YouTube channel, cabaret shows, and private events, she brings a multi-dimensional approach to lifestyle content and luxury experiences—one rooted in flavor, flair, and a deep understanding of what brings people together.
La Vie & Luxe wasn’t just a themed party—it was a fully lived experience, and one that reflected Morgan’s deep intuition for storytelling through food, design, and atmosphere.
