This weekend, social media was sprinkled with posts of Fourth of July barbecues, holiday fashion statements and sparkly fireworks displays. Among them was a flood of posts featuring celebrities from every industry wearing all white.
The photos were from a party where everyone who is anyone was in attendance. Jay Z and Beyoncé, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart and plenty of sports stars toasted to America’s birthday against a beach backdrop. There was high fashion and lots of glitz as the stars reveled in the Fourth of July celebration.
So what exactly was the all-white Independence Day party?

Who were the sports stars in attendance at the all-white party in the Hamptons?
There were athletes from several sports and leagues in attendance at Michael Rubin’s Independence Day extravaganza.
Kevin Durant wore a Prada shirt and mingled with the crowd. His Phoenix Suns teammate Devin Booker brought a pop of color with a red Detroit Red Wings hat and free agent Kyle Kuzma sported blue hair with his ensemble.
NBA MVP Joel Embiid and soccer star Kylian Mbappé posed for a picture, and Donovan Mitchell, Tobias Harris and James Harden also looked like they were enjoying themselves. After spending the last two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, Harden has opted into the final year of his contract and where (and if) he gets traded has been a hot topic of conversation.
Rising stars and superstars from the NFL were at the party, including Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and newly retired seven-time champion Tom Brady. Burrow wore a mesh shirt and shorts set as he posed with Mitchell and chatted with veteran receiver Davante Adams. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was celebrating life alongside Pro Bowler Odell Beckham Jr. and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
Brady posted a gallery of photos on Instagram with moments from the soirée. Among the images was the quarterback posing and smiling with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and sharing a candid moment with Parsons, who handed the future Hall of Famer his first loss at the hands of the Cowboys.
“Nobody does a party like @michaelrubin,” Brady wrote for the caption. “…i definitely needed ALOT of electrolytes today. Happy 4th of July!”
