Artists influencers, fashionistas, and socialites have escaped the cold winter weather of New York and Europe for Miami Art Week - or Art Basel.

On Thursday night, the glitterati was out in full force than at the Art News x Surf Lodge dinner and party at the W Hotel in Miami Beach. The dinner, hosted by Swizz Beatz (in an amazing lavender suit) and Andrew Warren, had guests dining poolside under the stars.

The Surf Lodge team didn’t disappoint in making the party a must-attend, as would be expected when the Montauk summer favorite packs up and flies south for the winter.
