Montauk Trades Its Sunset Crowds for a Night of Bracelets and Kite Strings

A stretch of Montauk sand became the setting for an evening built on two very different crafts: bracelet-making at one table, kite-building at another. Julianne Moore, Ashlyn Harris, and Sophia Bush were among the guests who traded their usual evening plans for something closer to summer camp, working with their hands under the East End sky. The gathering leaned into nostalgia — the kind of pastime that predates red carpets — while still marking a new memory for a group more often photographed than photographing. It is the sort of night the Hamptons does best: unhurried, a little bit childlike, and easy to dress down for.
