Television personality and businesswoman Jill Zarin is returning to the Hamptons with her 12th Annual Luxury Luncheon, set to take place on July 26, 2025, at the Southampton Inn. Known for its blend of high fashion, celebrity guests, and heartfelt giving, the event supports a cause close to Jill’s heart—thyroid cancer research, in memory of her late husband, Bobby Zarin.
A Day of Style, Community, and Purpose
What began as a summer gathering has grown into one of the Hamptons’ most anticipated social events. This year, the luncheon once again merges luxury with charitable giving. From designer gifting experiences to wellness activations, every element of the event is designed to pamper guests while raising funds for cancer research.
Zarin’s commitment to honouring her husband’s legacy through action has transformed this event into something far more meaningful than a social affair.
Ticket Options for Every Experience
The luncheon offers three tiers of access:
- General Admission ($500): Includes entry and access to brand experiences and gifting areas.
- Golden Ticket ($750): Adds elevated gifting and enhanced VIP experiences.
- Private Lounge for Eight ($8,000): Offers premium seating, rosé service, curated luxury gifts, and entry into exclusive prize drawings worth over $1 million.
Each ticket supports the cause and provides guests with access to exclusive luxury and wellness offerings.
A-List Guests and Star Power
The event is expected to attract an impressive lineup of stars from reality television and entertainment. Confirmed guests include Real Housewives favourites such as Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Cynthia Bailey, Teresa Giudice, and Kristen Taekman. Other celebrity attendees include Survivor’s Wendell Holland, The Bachelor’s Joe Amabile, and actor Jesse Metcalfe, who will be introducing his new skincare brand, NUTRL.
Co-hosts alongside Zarin include her daughter, Ally Shapiro, and luxury event producers Brian Kelly and Sean Koski of Ticket2Events.
Beauty and Wellness in Focus
Guests will be treated to a wide range of beauty, skincare, and lifestyle brand activations. Featured brands include Addyi, Saint Jo Skincare, MyQ Smart Home, Dagne Dover, upLift 5, Hulken, and NUTRL Skin by Jesse Metcalfe. Attendees can sample and shop, receive expert treatments, and take home curated gift bags valued at up to $5,000.
Additionally, guests can enjoy premium drinks and food from partners such as Avaline Wine, Piñaq, Tequila Pantalones, Cold Snap Ice Cream, Boxed Water, and LaCroix. The event promises to be both indulgent and inspiring.
A Celebration with Purpose
While the luncheon delivers a full day of luxury and entertainment, its mission remains grounded in raising funds for thyroid cancer research. The giveaway packages—valued collectively at over $1 million—add to the excitement, but the heart of the event is the effort to create real change in cancer care and awareness.
Zarin’s continued efforts to give back in her husband’s name have helped turn this annual tradition into a meaningful campaign for better health, early detection, and ongoing research.
