High summer took a chic turn on Thursday night when Saks Fifth Avenue took over the beloved Sag Harbor Tavern for a splashy summer soirée.

As attendees arrived at golden hour, the night began with a fresh raw bar and cocktails—including Saks-branded spicy pineapple margaritas, champagne, and cosmopolitans. The sun set on the scene with live music by Kate and the Sturdy Souls, as well as pre-dinner bites including croquettes, caviar deviled eggs, and zucchini fritters.

Metrick and Fanning were front and center for the event’s main dinner, which featured a lineup of the Tavern’s signature crudo, summer ravioli, and grilled branzino—plus its famed dry-aged cheeseburgers, which earned instant enthusiasm upon arrival. Afterwards, guests mingled around the outdoor fire pit with coffee, cocktails, and Saks-branded s’mores—ensuring a stylish toast to summer. The occasion also celebrated Saks’ new curated Summer Fashion and Vacation Wear shops, which feature top trends and exclusive designer capsule lines for the season—including the yellow scalloped Zimmermann dress Fanning wore to the event.
