Guild Hall: “The Lost Leonardo” Special Presentation

For decades, Brooke Shields has remained one of fashion and entertainment’s most recognizable faces—from iconic fashion campaigns and unforgettable red carpet moments to defining generations of beauty and style. But beyond the flashbulbs, Shields has always been fueled by something more lasting: community. After spending her childhood in the Hamptons, she still resides most of the year Out East today, where the quieter moments continue to shape her life. These days, she’s launching a clean haircare brand inspired by real conversations with women in her audience, and starring in and executive-producing a new TV series. Through it all, Shields is embracing reinvention with the same spark that first made her a household name.

If you blinked while driving down Main Street in East Hampton this week, you might have missed it. Tucked behind a white-shingled cottage draped in ivy at The Maidstone Hotel, Stuart Weitzman quietly opened its first-ever Hamptons summer shopping installation, and it is exactly the kind of discovery that makes a summer out here feel special.

There are a few places in the Hamptons where you can feel the entire summer happening at once. But, standing on the deck at the Surf Lodge, sunlight and bass bouncing across the waters of Fort Pond in Montauk, the solstice may need to be reconsidered.
