Guests must adhere to the signature all-white dress code, embracing elegance and creativity in their attire. The table setting must also be entirely white to maintain the event's iconic aesthetic.

Dîner en Blanc is an experience of refinement, and guests are expected to come prepared with essentials that uphold its signature elegance. Each pair must bring a table, two white chairs, a white tablecloth, and matching serviettes to create a stunning, unified aesthetic. A gourmet picnic basket filled with delicacies, complete with proper stemware and white dinnerware, is also required.

In keeping with the event's French-inspired tradition, wine and champagne are specially curated by Allegra, founder of Vinya Table in Key Biscayne and Coral Gables. Guests must reserve their selection online, as bringing personal alcohol is not permitted due to local regulations. However, attendees are welcome to bring their own non-alcoholic beverages. With these thoughtful details, Le Dîner en Blanc ensures an evening of sophistication, indulgence, entertainment, and seamless elegance.

Kevin Durant, Houston's Trill Burgers team up for Texas flood relief
Starting August 15 and lasting for a week, a burger and t-shirt featuring Kevin Durant's likeness will be available at Houston's Trill Burgers. Rapper Bun B, who has long been known for his dedication to Houston,is collaborating with newly acquired Rockets star Kevin Durant for a limited time promotion at Trill Burgers. Starting Friday, August 15, and lasting for a week, the 'Easy Money Burger' and 'Easy Money T-Shirt' — in reference to the All-Star forward's nickname — will be available at the two Houston-area locations of Trill Burgers (co-founded by Bun B). The shirt can also be purchased online. Proceeds will benefit flood relief for the Texas Hill Country, which suffered devastating damage and loss of life during the July 4 holiday weekend. 'We wanted to do something to make his introduction to the city meaningful,' Bun B said of his new partnership with the NBA star. The two are longtime friends. Dating back to his college days, Durant has extensive ties to the region and state. Houston's CW 39 (KIAH) has more: The Easy Money Burger was created using all of the player's favorite burger toppings: ketchup, mayo, pickles and American cheese. Each burger will also be served with custom packaging with imagery that represents Durant's basketball career at the University of Texas. 'This partnership is dedicated to the Central Texas Hill Country area, where KD played college basketball,' Bun B said. 'We wanted to create something that will give back to the community Kevin is connected with and so passionate about, and we hope to provide meaningful support for our Texas neighbors as we all work together to recover from this devastating flooding.' 'Collaboration is the true essence of community,' Durant wrote in a story published on his personal Instagram page. He expressed appreciation to Bun B and Trill Burgers for the opportunity.

Donald Trump celebrates pantheon Trump-approved Kennedy Center honorees
Everyone likes to share their taste. Donald Trump is just like us, except he also has tanks. On Wednesday, the president returned to the Kennedy Center to make announcements about this year's honorees, showing off his vision for the arts institution that would fulfill the goal he promised earlier this year: to 'reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation.' Trump is eager to leave his imprint on America not just through participating in legislation and budgeting but by changing what culture we recognize and celebrate and teach, across American museums, universities and beyond. For colleges, he is brokering deals where he promises to withhold funding until the schools pay the government for various misdeeds he says they have committed, thereby earning a clean slate for some period of time. For DC, he brought in the FBI, military and tanks. For the Kennedy Center, it was even easier: he simply appointed a board that would name him as chairman. 'It's going to be a big evening,' Trump said, about the upcoming Kennedy Center awards evening. 'I've been asked to host,' he said, adding that he'd declined, but that the board had insisted. 'Next year we'll honor Trump.' His 'STARS' turned out to be: George Strait, the record-setting country recording artist. Also, Michael Crawford, 'one of the greatest talents I've ever actually seen,' Trump said. He waxed rapturous about Crawford's roles in the theater, most notably in 'The Phantom of the Opera.' Trump gave a big lead up to an 'action movie icon and a friend of mine, a very unique man,' Trump said. That was Sylvester Stallone. 'He was very honored to be honored.' Gloria Gaynor, singer of the great American gay anthem 'I Will Survive,' also made the list — 'an unbelievable song,' Trump said. 'One of those few that get better every time you hear it.' Ivana Trump agreed — this was the song, she wrote in her memoir, 'Raising Trump,' that she listened to in court with headphones during her divorce trial from Trump. Also making the list: the legendary makeup-forward rock band KISS. The president's love of culture has always been deep if narrow and has often turned to disco. A Spotify playlist of his 2020 campaign presidential rally songs brings together artists as diverse yet clustered together as Elton John, the Village People and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. That playlist also includes the Rolling Stones, who are among the many artists who have objected to Trump's endorsement of or use of their music. Trump clearly adores the song 'Macho Man' and the brassiest of show tunes. This is the president who once allegedly had a fellow around to play him the song 'Memory' from Cats whenever he was too upset. The experience of seeing 'Cats' is what Trump recalled, with great passion, in a meeting with Kennedy Center trustees in March, during which he pledged to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals back to our nation's capital. One funny thing about 'Memory,' that show's most famous song, is that it's famous because of Betty Buckley's performance, which Trump says he remembers with great detail. Buckley herself says she built that performance from following around women who were homeless. In doing so, she had a realization. She explained to the New Yorker: 'I began to follow homeless people—women my age, women who were like me—trying literally to interpret them. I was playing it pathetically—but what I saw instead on the streets were women really trying to hold on to their dignity, so their self-presentation was all dignity and grace.' After announcing the honorees, the president offered some thoughts of his own about homeless people. As part of his plan to make Washington 'beautiful'—now that he has taken over the city's police department and dispatched federal officers and the National Guard — Trump said, 'We're going to have to remove the tents and the people that are living in our parks.' 'They're saying 'he's a dictator,'' Trump said of critics of his current approach to governance. 'Instead of saying 'he's a dictator,' they should say 'We're going to join him.'' The president promised more intervention in cities beyond D.C., including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York: 'Our whole country is going to be so different.' 'I don't want to call a national emergency,' he said, 'but if I have to I will.'
