I spent Saturday afternoon watching my third Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New York City, an annual event I look forward to because it includes many of my favorite things: Champagne, horses and men in expensive leather boots. This year had a few changes. First, because it Governor’s Island was being resod, the venue was Liberty State Park; and second, there was no sit down luncheon; and third, Prince Harry was unable to come this year. (His grandmother was doing a little block party in London to celebrate 60 years of being the bigwig of some island country near Europe or something.) Which was all fabulous in my book because it means a shorter ferry ride, seconds on the buffet line, and the focus returning to the polo player Nacho Figueras, respectively. It was a lovely, sunny day full of bubbly, lounging and polo.
First stop at the polo match: Cesar Cassier and Poppy Delevingne at the Veuve counter
Jessica Stam vamping it up in a Maison Michel veiled straw hat
Rachel Zoe with her adorable, baby blue-eyed baby, Skyler
Coco Rocha and I during my favorite part of a polo match: stomping the divets
Arden Wohl keeping it chic in the shade
Cesar and me at halftime. (But I’m not sure if that’s what you call it at a polo match. There’s probably a much fancier word.)
The always lovely Dree Hemingway, who showed up wearing a Yankee’s baseball cap because she got the headwear-required memo late in the game
Genevieve Jones
Hilary Rhoda and her friend Teresa
My favorite DJ and violinist duo (and, coincidentally, the only DJ and violinist duo I know) Mia Moretti and Caitlin Moe
The legend that is Amy Sacco, who has a new spot opening this week on 16th Street, and Natalie Joos
And last but not least, the hottest thing on four legs: Nacho Figueras

Shirtless? Oh, I don’t think so. Remember, I wrote a book called Very Classy!
[...] This was a ridiculously busy week in New York. It started with the CFDA Awards on Monday night; then the launch of Fendi’s Baguette bag and the Acne dinner on Tuesday; the Whitney Art Party and Chanel’s dinner at Balthazar to debut Karl Lagerfeld’s new book, The Little Black Jacket; and finally, on Thursday night I had a friend’s birthday party and cocktail party for Tara Subkoff’s collaboration with the bespoke suiting company Doyle + Mueser. (It was actually an even busier week if include the Veuve Clicquot polo match at the weekend.) [...]
Pity !!! You would totally rock the Capri / all white / furry chest / sunglasses look. Being shirtless doesn’t have to be anti-classy, even royalty gets snapped in their beachwear. XXX
