Wedge heels were de rigeur for this chic, lawn-friendly crowd as guests mingled over lobster rolls and rosé, while browsing a sponsor-showcase featuring luxury skincare, resort wear and wellness brands. What caught my eye? Addyi, the first and only FDA-approved pill designed to boost women’s sex drive, making a bold debut at the exclusive, invitation-only event – became the grab of the day. Luann de Lesseps, Cynthia Bailey, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Olivera, and Kristen Taekman all checked out the pink pills.

Guests sipped Avaline wine, Tequila Pantalones and Piñaq cocktails, and enoyed a futuristic Cold Snap ice cream machine, adding a playful touch to the afternoon. Behind the scenes, Jill’s trusted team – Brian Kelly and Sean Koski of Ticket2Events – ensured that every detail was flawlessly executed.
