The evening unfolded like a scene lifted from one of Faena’s own dreamlike productions. Grace Faena welcomed Vogue100 beneath the watchful presence of Damien Hirst’s monumental, gold-toned woolly mammoth skeleton, sealed inside its glass enclosure. As daylight softened over Mid Beach, guests drifted onto the palm-lined lawn of the Faena Hotel Miami Beach—the crown jewel of the Faena District and, as founder Alan Faena often describes it, “a total work of art.” The gathering served as a final toast to Miami Art Basel, blending sunset cocktails with an elegant dinner in the open air. With glasses of Ruinart raised high, attendees celebrated Grace Faena—designer and creative force behind the hotel’s Big Bang Boutique—as she greeted Vogue100 members and thanked them for joining her “at home on such a meaningful weekend.” The mammoth’s illuminated bones shimmered behind her as she appeared in a flowing halter and skirt rendered in molten gold, a striking ensemble of her own creation that reflected the warm glow of the evening. Stretching across the garden, a single elongated dining table anchored the scene. Christofle china edged in gold, polished silverware, and ornate candelabras created a luminous tablescape, softened by compact arrangements of roses tucked into silver julep cups. Above, strands of café lights threaded through the palms, transforming the tropical lawn into an intimate, candlelit salon. In the distance, Es Devlin’s Library of Us—a towering, rotating triangular structure filled with thousands of books—caught the light along Faena Beach. Installed for Art Basel and commissioned by Faena Art, the work functioned both as an outdoor reading space and a symbolic lighthouse for the district, underscoring the hotel’s commitment to cultural life beyond its walls. As dinner began, servers circulated with vibrant plates of pink grapefruit and orange salad coated in a glossy citrus vinaigrette, followed by yellowfin tuna tartare and empanadas emerging hot from the wood oven. From the copper grill came a generous parrillada: skirt steak, branzino, chicken, and chorizo, paired with bowls of chimichurri, criolla sauce, and garlic aioli. Champagne flowed freely as conversations meandered from standout artworks to fashion highlights and fair favorites. Grace Faena’s gold gown shimmered with every movement as she spoke with Daniela Botero Saunders, who wore a gleaming silver look of her own. Together, they reflected on Miami’s creative spirit and the reasons they chose to build their lives and raise their families in the city, while Saunders’s husband, Brent, nodded along. The mood grew even warmer when Faena’s mother, Monica Goldsmith, stopped by the table to greet guests—her presence lending the evening the intimacy of a family gathering rather than a hotel affair. Alan Faena soon joined the scene, impeccably dressed in cream silk and his trademark white hat. He spoke about the hotel’s art-driven philosophy and Miami’s role as a crossroads of cultures. Creating meaningful experiences for the city and its people, he said, is at the heart of Faena’s mission. “It’s a blessing to create emotions and reactions,” he reflected, adding that while he once thought of Miami as transient, the city ultimately gave him a home, a family, and—gesturing toward Grace—“a superstar.” Further proof of the night’s magnetic pull came with the arrival of DJ and producer Diplo, who stopped in to greet the hostess and quickly struck up a connection with fashion designer Jennifer “JJ” Lee. He even tried on her hand-embroidered crimson sequin Esque/By Dragon blazer, while Lee stood beside him in a red fringe gown, clearly pleased with the pairing. As the evening drew to a close, Grace Faena took the floor once more, expressing her gratitude to Vogue100. Curious about the group that had gathered around her table, she passed the microphone from guest to guest, inviting stories and reflections. What followed were shared memories of friendships formed, fashion moments cherished, and front-row experiences that spanned years. By the final clink of glasses, Vogue100 had become part of Faena’s ever-expanding cultural universe—suspended somewhere between Damien Hirst’s glowing mammoth in the garden and Es Devlin’s Library of Us slowly turning by the sea. It was a poetic and resonant finale to Miami Art Basel.
