Michael Rubin’s annual all-white July 4th bash kinda feels like that kid at school who would throw a party every time their parents were away and invite anyone they could potentially be friends with. The Fanatics CEO’s party, though, has become an ongoing yearly tradition. Like Christmas, or a birthday.
Every year Rubin sends out invites to anyone who’s anyone from the world of entertainment, welcoming them to his plush pad in the heart of the Hamptons to celebrate Independence Day.
Because, what better way to celebrate Will Smith’s greatest movie (we're joking) than with an all-white bash inspired by P Diddy’s infamous 1998 shindig colloquially known as the "White Party?"
This year, like last year, the luxurious bonanza was an absolute celeb fest with everyone from Jay-Z, Lil Baby, and Ben Affleck to Emily Ratajkowski, Justin Bieber and Highsnobiety cover star Winnie Harlow in attendance.
Heck, Rubin's A-list party even had live performances from NeYo and Usher. Also like last year, however, we're still yet to receive our invite. Mike, get in touch!
Still, while we couldn’t be there in-person, we were certainly there in spirit, in the sense that we spent our entire evening meticulously eye-balling each and every celebrity's whited-out outfit. Et voila!
Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck staying true to his sneakerhead credentials, no matter the dress code. The AIR star and director arrived at the Hamptons alongside Jennifer Lopez wearing an all-white three-piece and a Swoosh for good measure, by way of his 3M-trimmed Nike Air Force 1 sneakers.
JAY-Z
Only JAY-Z could make it onto a list of best 'fits with only 10 percent of his look actually revealed. Then again, when you spin up to a party with the top down on a Range Rover carrying a group of similarly famous pals (including Corey Gamble), it's pretty hard to ignore. Nice bucket hat, Jay.
EmRata, Kim K, Kendall, Hailey Bieber, Lala Anthony & Lori Harvey
Someone sound the iconic TikTok alarm (!!!) for Lori Harvey has dropped another one. Hot on her heels of her A-list Barbie Tok, Harvey dropped a video featuring Emily Ratajkowski, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Lala Anthony, no less.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber's style has come a long way since his "Lightskin Bieber" days. Nowadays it's more knitted polos and baggy pants instead. We're into it, mind.
Jennifer Lopez

JLo is giving prom vibes, which isn't a bad thing — we're just preoccupied by her sneaker-wearing date, as usual. Still, what else would you expect from Ben Affleck, the man renowned for his Grammy-worth grimace?
Odell Beckham Jr

Whoops! Odell Beckham Jr seems to have snuck in a fluorescent yellow Louis Vuitton bucket hat into the white clothes-only party. What a rebel.
Winnie Harlow
It's been a busy week for Winnie Harlow. After partying with Highsnobiety in Paris following the reveal of her interview and cover story, the trailblazing model popped across the pond to keep the party moving at the Hamptons. Impressive stamina, truth be told.
Lil Baby
BACKGRID, Press
If anyone sees Lil Baby and Odell Beckham Jr in the same room, please let me know, because we're almost certain they're wearing the exact same outfit, aside from Lil Baby's Chrome Heart's and Beckham Jr's impish LV bucket hat, of course.
James Harden

Judging from the face of James Harden, who's wearing a sleek white suit with some ERL-style sunglasses, has just glimpsed the Lil Baby and Odell Beckham Jr outfit faux pas. The horror!
