Alex Rodriquez saw fireworks at Michael Rubin’s White Party, but they weren’t in the sky. 

The annual bash in the Hamptons returned after a one-year hiatus just in time to celebrate America’s birthday. While there, the MLB alum—whose relationship with Jaclyn Cordeiro ended in May—proved he was ready to party like its 1776 by locking lips with a brunette woman.  

And he wasn’t the only celebrity seeking one good time after another during the July 1 event. 

Also among this year’s attendees was Teyana Taylor, who donned a skintight white dress and strappy golden heels for the occasion, as well as Jay-Z who was ready to run this town in a white blazer.

Meanwhile, Alix Earle turned the evening into a G.N.O. worthy of Hannah Montana. She, Tate McRae, Ashton Earle, Sally Carden and Stassie Karanikolaou were ready to stay out and play out in their white dresses, with the Dancing With the Stars alum showing off their looks on TikTok ahead of the event. 

Other guests included French Montana, Corey Gamble, Mike Tyson, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, Winnie Harlow as well as brothers Logan Paul and Jake Paul—all of whom were ready for a knock out evening.

As for why the annual July 4 bash didn’t happen July 4? According to Rubin, it wasn’t because of the other massive celebration happening in New York the same week (a.k.a. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumored wedding, expected to be taking place at Madison Square Garden on July 3)—but it wasn’t not because of it, either.

“We were debating the dates,” Rubin told People ahead of the party. “We were certainly aware of that date, but we didn’t change it because of that date. But we were aware of that date and we didn’t want to have people have to choose.”

As he noted, “People come to the White Party no matter when we do it,” adding that this year’s event was going to be “spectacular.”

And between his bash, Swift and Kelce’s nuptials, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup taking place at the same time, Rubin emphasized, “I think the stars are going to be in New York from July 1 till July 19. New York's never seen anything like this.”
