In luminous shades of pink, white, and shimmering garden hues, Luminous Global cast its spell over Coconut Grove last Friday with the 4th Annual Light Up the Night Gala at the storied Mayfair House Hotel & Garden. Themed The Enchanted Garden, the soirée unfolded as both a celebration and a call to action—empowering women to take charge of their health while raising critical funds for the early detection of breast cancer.

The evening drew an elegant guest list including supermodel and Real Housewives of New York original cast member Kelly Killoren Bensimon; Florida State Representative Fabián Basabe; Claudine De Niro; and Marta and Ron Bloom—all in support of the Luminous Advocacy Group and its visionary Global Founder & CEO, Marylin Dans.

Guests sipped artfully crafted LALO Tequila cocktails—the Hibiscus Paloma and Rose Margarita—beneath twinkling lights at the al fresco reception before moving indoors for a candlelit dinner and poignant survivor testimonials. The program also honored this year’s benefactors, including Jose and Heidi Dans, Norma Jean Abraham, Ana VeigaMilton, Sari Sosa, Dr. Ramona Probasco, and Julio Figueroa Cisneros, as well as distinguished awardees: Xiomara Beatriz Brandfon, Rosario Rico Toro Korn, Enrique Martinez, Jessica Cristobal, Vivian Quiroga, Frank Navarro, and Manny Lara.

Also in the spotlight was Luminous—the groundbreaking breast familiarity tool designed to give women a visual reference for their breast health. By illuminating soft tissue and blood flow, the device encourages users to establish a baseline, making it easier to detect changes over time. Already available across the EU and UK, and soon expanding into the Middle East and U.S., Luminous is reshaping the conversation around early detection and awareness-first living.

One of the evening’s highlights came courtesy of “Pop Provocateur,” Robbie Elias (@RobbieEliasofficial) who took the stage, dazzling guests with a kaleidoscope of crowd-pleasers—from “Mr. Brightside” to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” to cult-favorite “Pink Pony Club.” In true showman fashion, Robbie turned the ballroom into a pulsating dance floor, leading a frenzied celebration/dance marathon that lasted late into the night. As the newest member of Miami Sound Machine, Robbie Elias divides his time between sharing the stage with Gloria Estefan and igniting the crowd with his electrifying performances at his residence at Faena. He even “out-Beyonces Beyoncé!”

Blending glamour with gravitas, the Light Up the Night gala shone as both a celebration and a call to action—empowering women, honoring survivors, and inspiring a future of greater health equity. To learn more or to support the Luminous Advocacy Project, visit www.luminousglobal.org.

Leave it to Melissa Odabash—London-based designer, former model, and queen of jet set chic—to celebrate 25 fabulous years of her namesake brand with the kind of show that has us already booking flights to Capri.

This past weekend in Manhattan, Odabash was featured in NYFW Shows powered by Miami Swim Week®, where she transported guests to a Mediterranean escape. Picture this: 360° LED projections of the Amalfi Coast wrapping around the venue, a dazzling walk down memory lane with 25 years of glossy magazine covers, and a runway full of bronzed goddesses strutting looks that whispered (okay, shouted): “Take me from the beach to the bar, and don’t forget the rosé!”

Resort Wear That Actually Lives Up to the Hype

The Spring/Summer 2026 Collection was pure practical glamour—that magical sweet spot where your beach cover-up doubles as your dinner outfit, and your swimsuit is just as ready for a dip as it is for a late-night dance on tables in St. Barth. (Yes, we said it. Optional, but encouraged.)

Favorite runway moments:

• Tailored linen pant-and-button-down sets, cinched just right at the waist.

• Flirty rompers that are as flattering as they are effortless.

• Sheer kaftans floating over bikinis like a sea breeze.

• One-shoulder jumpsuits and translucent pant sets that scream, “I’m not just on vacation, I am the vacation.”

The color palette includes a chic mix of timeless neutrals (black, white, off-white), a dash of dark denim, and the sweetest blush pinks—basically the kind of palette that works just as well for brunch in the Hamptons as it does for Aperol spritz o’clock on the Amalfi.

Details, Details, Details

Melissa knows it’s all in the craftsmanship:

• Crochet, lace, knits, and linens with just the right amount of sparkle.

• Signature lacework—think dresses and co-ords styled over swimsuits.

• Ethereal touches—cottons dusted with silver shimmer.

• Versatile silhouettes—bohemian skirts, après-beach luxe dresses, and coral-inspired prints you’ll want to pack yesterday.

25 Years of Jet Set Dreams

From supermodels to socialites, Odabash has been dressing the world’s most stylish women for decades, and her 25th anniversary show was the perfect reminder why: she makes resort wear you actually want to live in.

With the Spring/Summer 2026 Collection, Melissa Odabash proves once again that glamour doesn’t have to be impractical—it just has to come with a side of wanderlust.

On Monday, September 15th, Chelsea Industrial in New York City set the stage for Natalie De’Banco’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation, Concrete Safari. The collection, a dialogue between untamed nature and the urban grit of New York, drew a distinguished and star-studded audience. Among the front-row luminaries were Saweetie, Victoria Justice, Dascha Polanco, Nicky Hilton, Rachel Hilbert, and athletes including Olivia Nelson-Ododa of the Connecticut Suns and Kiki Iriafen of the Washington Mystics, alongside influencers, models, and tastemakers such as Jackie Aina, Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu, and Batsheva Haart.

The Collection

Concrete Safari embodies the modern woman’s duality—refined yet audacious, cultivated yet untamed. De’Banco marries modern sportswear with eveningwear, blending architectural tailoring with fluid, slinky silhouettes and subtle, daring edges. Oversized jackets and sleek separates convey an effortless yet cultivated style, perfectly attuned to the rhythm of the contemporary woman.

The color story traverses ivory and seafoam, anchored by sage and terracotta, punctuated with hyper-real safari graphics, gilded spinal accents, and artisanal hand-crocheted details. A newly introduced line of accessories bridges daywear and evening occasions, designed to meet the dynamic needs of a New York woman—functional yet luxuriously refined.

Last Tuesday, Miami scored big when Buchanan’s Whisky rolled into town with its celebrated Buchamión—a 27-foot truck transformed into a traveling fiesta—to toast fútbol, flavor, and plenty of flair.

As the official North American whisky supporter of the FIFA World Cup 26™, Buchanan’s is taking this vibrant experience on a national tour, inspired by Latin America’s lively pregoneros. The Miami stop? Nothing short of unforgettable.

Hundreds of fans gathered to sip on signature Buchanita cocktails, collect exclusive merch, and move to the beats of DJ Dímelo Flow, who kept the dance floor alive with irresistible Latin mixes. The energy soared during the official dance contest, where guests competed for a chance to win FIFA World Cup™ match tickets. And the cheers reached a crescendo as fans celebrated Colombia’s hard-fought victory over Venezuela—with whisky glasses raised high.

Special guest Isabella Echeverri added to the excitement, sealing Miami’s reputation as a fútbol and nightlife capital, and giving us a dazzling preview of the road to 2026.

From fútbol to flow, Miami delivered rhythm, style, and celebration—and the countdown to the World Cup just became that much more thrilling.

On Thursday, July 10, the future of luxury air travel in Miami took off in style as PS (formerly known as The Private Suite) broke ground on its highly anticipated new terminal at Miami International Airport (MIA). In true Miami fashion, the celebration was a chic, open house-style event with remarks from Amina Porter, CEO of PS; Ralph Cutié, Director & CEO of MIA; and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, among other civic leaders and partners.

PS MIA, slated to open in Spring 2026, marks a milestone as the first private terminal for commercial passengers at MIA, offering travelers an elevated, crowd-free alternative to the traditional airport experience—complete with TSA and customs clearance onsite. The new terminal is not just an expansion of PS’ signature luxury—it’s a restoration project, transforming the former Pan American Airways headquarters into a serene and opulent pre- and post-flight haven.

The forthcoming PS terminal is housed in a Miami-Dade County Historical Site, designated in 2014. The building—an icon of mid-century brutalist architecture—was once the beating heart of Pan Am’s global empire. Now, under the discerning eye of renowned interior designer Cliff Fong and the historic restoration team at RJ Heisenbottle Architects, the space is undergoing a thoughtful transformation.

Guests at the groundbreaking were treated to a first-look walkthrough of the design plans, which aim to honor the structure’s gold-paneling, reflecting pools, and original Pan Am logos. The refreshed space will artfully blend natural textures with rich tropical hues, capturing the essence of Miami’s vibrant energy with the refinement of PS’ signature ambiance.

Once open, PS MIA will provide guests with a truly private and peaceful airport experience—no lines, no crowds, no stress. Designed for those who value privacy and comfort as much as convenience, the terminal will feature:

• Five Private Suites with dedicated security, customs, and TSA clearance
• Two Salons with full-service dining and curated lounge experiences
• An Outdoor Courtyard designed for a moment of calm under the Miami sun
• A Day Spa offering massages and beauty treatments
• Personalized service from PS Hosts who handle everything from check-in to tarmac transportation

Guests will arrive at PS via a private entrance and are seamlessly whisked from lounge to aircraft via BMW 7 Series sedans, bypassing the main terminal entirely.

The groundbreaking in Miami is part of PS’ growing footprint, which began at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and recently expanded to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)—with Paris marking its first international location at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

At PS LAX, Hollywood A-listers, business moguls, and luxury travelers regularly opt for the white-glove service that includes private suites with ensuite bathrooms, curated meals by renowned chefs, and full bar service—all steps away from their flight.

In Atlanta, the design reflects southern hospitality infused with PS’ elevated sensibility—think: handwoven textiles, custom lighting, and gourmet comfort food.

And in Paris, PS has partnered with Air France La Première to deliver a seamless, ultra-private terminal experience on European soil, offering their signature blend of discretion, design, and hospitality with a Parisian flair. Guests can expect full TSA and customs coordination, private suite service, and direct tarmac transport to their aircraft—just with a French twist.

Each location is uniquely tailored to its city’s character, yet maintains PS’ gold standard of travel luxury. With Miami joining the club in 2026, PS is solidifying itself as the definitive name in pre-flight indulgence for the modern jetsetter.

“Miami is a city that knows how to do things with style—and we are proud to bring a travel experience that matches that energy,” said PS CEO Amina Porter. “Restoring the iconic Pan Am building to usher in a new era of luxury and ease is a full-circle moment, and we can’t wait to welcome travelers to PS MIA.” “MIA is one of the most vibrant and dynamic airports in the world, and the addition of PS signals our commitment to meeting the needs of every type of traveler,” added Ralph Cutié, CEO of Miami International Airport.

Mayor Daniella Levine Cava echoed the sentiment, calling PS MIA “an exciting moment for Miami-Dade County’s continued leadership in travel, design, and hospitality.”

As travelers increasingly seek more personalized, elevated travel experiences, PS’ expansion comes at a perfect time—and in perfect Miami style. When it opens its doors in 2026, PS MIA will stand not just as a private terminal, but a love letter to the golden age of air travel—with all the comforts of modern luxury.

Tequila Don Julio turned up the volume and style on a balmy Miami summer night as Mexican singer Camila Fernandez lit up the rooftop of trendy Astra restaurant and bar with a soulful acoustic showcase that blended modern artistry with her rich cultural roots.

The evening, hosted in partnership with Tequila Don Julio, Universal Music Latin, and Fono, unfolded under the stars in true Wynwood fashion: breezy, bold, and undeniably magnetic. Camila serenaded guests with a live performance of her latest single “No Puedo Dormir Sin Ti.” Her voice effortlessly enthralled the crowd, proving why she’s one of Mexico’s most captivating young talents. As the daughter of legendary Mexican singer, Alejandro Fernández, known around the world as El Potrillo, Camila is no stranger to the spotlight. But on this night, she claimed it entirely for herself, with a voice that’s both timeless and current.

The music was only part of the story. In a beautiful nod to heritage, guests were treated to a curated display of Camila’s iconic Mariachi performance outfits—rich with embroidery, color, and character—bringing a tactile sense of tradition into the elevated, open-air space. It was a celebration of Mexico past and present, glamour and grit, wrapped in silk and stitched with soul.

At the heart of the evening was Tequila Don Julio, setting the tone with meticulously crafted cocktails that were as vibrant and expressive as the night itself. Attendees sipped standouts like the La Caminera (with Don Julio Blanco), Una Vida (with Reposado), and the fan-favorite Se Cancela La Llorada (featuring Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino), while enjoying a thoughtful spread of light bites under the Miami sky.

Then came the moment that made everyone’s phones fly up: a surprise appearance from Mexican pop sensation DANNA, sending waves of excitement across the rooftop and marking the evening as the summer kickoff the city didn’t know it needed.

No detail was overlooked. Guests were gifted mini bottles of Don Julio 1942, the ultra-premium tequila that’s become a staple of refined celebrations and unforgettable nights.

More than a party, the night launched Tequila Don Julio, Universal Music Latin, and Fono’s larger summer partnership—a cross-country celebration of Mexican artistry and heritage with upcoming stops in Los Angeles, Houston, and New York. But on this particular night, with the Miami breeze floating through bougainvillea and the sound of Mariachi-meets-modern echoing over the city, the magic was right there—on the rooftop.
