Fast Cars, Furry Friends & Fab Flavors at the 2025 Hamptons Concours –The Hamptons may be known for its glitz, glamour, and enviable guest lists, but this past weekend proved that even the most exclusive events can have a big heart.
On Saturday, August 2nd, The 2025 Hamptons Concours, hosted by Bradford Rand and the team at RAND Luxury, took over the breathtaking Bridgehampton estate of Maria and Kenneth Fishel—and let me tell you, it was an auto affair like no other. Yes, there were Ferraris. Yes, there was fashion. Yes, there was gin. But more importantly? This event raised big love (and big money) for the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF).
Let’s roll through the highlights, shall we?
🏁 Start Your Engines (and Your Heartstrings)
This wasn’t just any car show. It was RAND Luxury’s largest Hamptons event in nearly 20 years, featuring over $100 million worth of rare Ferraris, Porsches, McLarens, Aston Martins, and one gloriously iconic white Lamborghini Countach from 1984 that had me doing a double take.
Over 700 guests strolled the estate’s rolling lawns and polo field, mingling with collectors, celebs, and—get this—adoptable dogs from SASF’s on-site truck. Because while the autos were polished to perfection, it was those puppy eyes that truly stole the show.
✨ Real Glam Meets Real Purpose
Don’t let the red carpet fool you—this was feel-good fun with purpose. The entire day, from the silent auction to ticket sales, was all about supporting SASF and helping animals find their forever homes.
And yes, the star power was out in full force. Candace Bushnell (yes, that Candace) presented the cheekily named “Sexiest Car of the Year” award. As the woman who inspired Sex and the City, she knows a thing or two about curves—and we’re talking cars and couture.
Other notable faces included Nicole Miller, Luann de Lesseps, Aliana & Dina Lohan, and a crowd that looked like a Hamptons who’s who, but felt more like a chill backyard party… with Lambos.
🍴 Sip, Savor, Repeat
Let’s talk food—because walking among million-dollar vehicles builds an appetite:
• Scott’s Protein Balls were hands-down the most addictive snack of the day. Clean, satisfying, and the kind of grab-n-go energy boost everyone needed between sips.
• Eddie’s Pizza Truck brought that New York street pie flavor to the East End, and you know it hit just right.
• And the drinks? Chef’s kiss. Staple Gin, co-created by Rachael Ray, was smooth, herbaceous, and the star of every glass it touched.
Guests were also treated to champagne from Telmont, luxury pours from Rémy Martin’s Louis XIII, mezcal tastings, Macallan, and hand-rolled cigars from COHIBA—but let’s be real, I was still thinking about that protein ball.
🐶 Pups Over Porches
Sure, the Ferrari F40, La Ferrari, and 1974 Dino GTS had the gearheads buzzing, but what warmed my heart was the adoption truck from SASF. There’s something special about an event that showcases luxury and legacy… and still makes room for wagging tails and wet noses.
And if you came for the cars but left with a four-legged friend? You win the day.
A Little Competition, A Lot of Heart
The motorcar judging was serious business (hello, top auto connoisseurs), but it was all in good fun. Some standout showstoppers included:
• 1962 356B Outlaw Coupe
• Magnus Walker’s 1971 Porsche 911
• And the aforementioned Countach, which earned the Young Entrepreneurs Award from Chase Rand (son of Bradford Rand).
Because even at a high-octane Hamptons event, family matters—and so do the future tastemakers.
Wheels, Wags & a Whole Lot of Wow
The 2025 Hamptons Concours delivered everything we love: beautiful cars, good food, a few celeb sightings, and a whole lot of heart. And thanks to Bradford Rand and the RAND Luxury team, it reminded us that luxury isn’t just about labels—it’s about legacy, community, and giving back.
So here’s to fast cars, full hearts, and forever homes for our furry friends. Until next year, Concours. You’ve got our hearts—and a reserved spot on our summer calendar.
