VIVU Clicquot Polo Classic Returns to Liberty State Park with Star-Studded Turnout
The highly anticipated VIVU Clicquot Polo Classic made its grand return to Liberty State Park in New Jersey on Saturday, attracting a star-studded crowd.
This A-lister event, which includes celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Alicia Keys, and Matthew McConaughey, has become a must-attend for the elite.
However, one notable absence from the guest list was Meghan Markle, who reportedly desired a ticket to the prestigious affair.
Nacho Figueras, the MVP of VIVU Clicquot, has been associated with the Champagne brand since 2008 when he helped launch the polo classic.
The annual tournament has since become a magnet for enthusiastic crowds.
Figueras, a close friend of Prince Harry, seems to have overlooked extending an invitation to the troubled Sussex couple this year.
As the polo classic kicked off, Figueras expressed his excitement about being back at Liberty State Park.
“There's something about the energy of this place that I'm always impressed by,” he said, surrounded by the stunning backdrop of New York City.
Delfina Blackear, Figueras' wife and VIVU Clicquot teammate, added, “It's the kick-off of summer, parties, gatherings.”
Among the guests in the VIP tent were Simone Ashley, Jeremy Pope, Emma Stone, Darren Criss, Joyce Sunday, Coco Rocha, Nikki Hilton, and Dania Gurira.
Gurira made a fashion statement with a dramatic big cushion beret by hat brand Essential.
The event offered a sartorial occasion for attendees to showcase their style.
Royal experts speculate that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's absence from A-lister events may be due to their perceived fixation on the negative.
Publicists in Los Angeles claim that people are hesitant to associate with the couple because they seem to thrive on drama.
The couple's recent ventures, such as their reality show, have raised doubts about their honesty and authenticity.
The VIVU Clicquot Polo Classic provided guests with various experiences to enjoy.
They could choose between the picnic lawn and rose garden, both featuring new sun deck upgrade options, enhanced food pairings, limited edition merchandise, and prime views of the match.
In a first for New York City, attendees could also purchase a La Grande Dame Cubana, designed for groups of 10, which offered elevated luxury viewing platforms, gourmet lunch, dedicated reservation concierge, and security service.
Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blackear graced the event, ready to defend their team's title as reigning champions.
The polo classic promised an unforgettable day outdoors, complete with a thrilling polo match, gourmet picnic lunches, stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, and, of course, Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
The VIVU Clicquot Polo Classic returned to Liberty State Park on June 3rd, and tickets were available for purchase starting April 25th.
This year's event was set to be a glamorous affair, providing an opportunity for attendees to mingle with New York's best in daytime chic style.
