Daniel Boulud will headline NYC's Le Dîner en Blanc
The all-white affair that is Le Dîner en Blanc is returning to NYC this fall, landing in an undisclosed location on September 19. Billed as the 'World's Largest Dinner Party,' the roaming event gathers thousands of people around the globe, all clad in white, to celebrate an evening of gathering, food and revelry under the stars. This year, lucky New Yorkers attending the French-inspired picnic will be joined by an authority of the cuisine itself: the one and only Daniel Boulud. The acclaimed chef, restaurateur and cookbook author will be curating picnic baskets for the exclusive evening. 'Dîner en Blanc always brings a burst of French summer feasts to cities around the world in a celebration of friendship, fashion, and food,' said Boulud in a press release. 'As a French New Yorker, I'm honored to prepare a festive picnic basket for this magical evening. It will certainly be the largest and chicest gathering of fête a laFrancaise!' Priced for $130 per person, the Épicerie Boulud Basket: Capucine includes plenty of nibbles, including green gazpacho and paté en croûte to lavash, hummus and baba ganoush spreads. The Roasted Chicken Salad serves as the main, and the basket includes two desserts: a raspberry shortcake with vanilla creme and poppy seeds and orange blossom madeleines. If your tastes lean towards vegetarian, you can order the Épicerie Boulud Basket: Tournesol. For $115, the basket includes all the fixins' listed up above, but swaps the chicken for the Vaduvan Cauliflower. While reserving the food is not a requirement, the inclusion of the picnic baskets may just help lighten your load. You see, as luxe as the party puts on, Le Dîner en Blanc is incredibly DIY, calling back to the party's roots as an informal gathering of friends. Despite its now worldwide status, making cameos at 120 cities in over 40 countries around the world, the event is partially curated by its guests, as attendees are required to bring tables, chairs and food (if you don't end up choosing the catered option). If you'd rather not lug your foldout chairs on the subway, the New York party provides rented furniture with two tables and two chairs priced at $86. Don't forget to pack the decor, as this year, diners are challenged to wear outfits and create tablescapes that fit the global theme: floral elegance. This is all on top of the entry fee, priced at $60. As polarizing as the event may be, the pop-up dinner party has taken over some iconic locations in NYC. First arriving in the city back in 2011, the soiree commandeered the streets of the Meatpacking District in 2023, and last year, the party turned Union Square Park white as 3,000 people took over the square.

A Moonlit Soirée Returns: Le Dîner en Blanc Singapore Announces Comeback in Historic Collaboration with Moët & Chandon
A decade later, the legendary white-on-white affair is reborn—elegant, enchanting, and exclusively in Singapore. SINGAPORE, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A cherished tradition returns with a flourish as Le Dîner en Blanc, the world's most iconic white-on-white pop-up soirée, reclaims its place in Singapore's social calendar on 6 September 2025. After a ten-year rest, the evening of secret elegance is back, bolder, brighter, and more breathtaking than ever. Marking a historic first in the event's 35-year legacy, this year's edition of Le Dîner en Blanc will unveil an official Singapore partnership with Moët & Chandon, a renowned name in luxury champagne. A debut not in Paris or New York, but right here in Singapore. Thoughtfully timed between National Day and the electric glamour of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the event is poised to become a luminous celebration of beauty, belonging, and shared artistry. "This isn't just a return, it's a renaissance," said Chiang Yee, who was personally appointed by the event's founder, Sandy Safi, to lead this landmark Singapore edition. "With Moët & Chandon as our main partner and a heritage collaborator rooted in Singapore's own story, the stage is set to reimagine timeless elegance through a contemporary lens", he added. Supporting him in this endeavour are Dr Clemen Chiang, who first brought the event to Asia in 2012, and Nicole Yee, founder of women's platform CozyCot, overseeing fashion and beauty partnerships for this year's Safi, CEO of Le Dîner en Blanc International, expressed her enthusiasm for the Singapore edition, stating, "We are immensely proud to see Chiang Yee, the youngest host in Le Dîner en Blanc's history, lead this extraordinary revival. Singapore has always been a key city for the launch of Le Dîner en Blanc in Asia, and this partnership with Moët & Chandon elevates its legacy to new heights, blending innovation with our timeless vision of elegance and unity." "We are thrilled to embark on this unprecedented partnership with Le Dîner en Blanc in Singapore," said Julian Quintero, General Manager, Moët Hennessy Diageo Singapore. "This collaboration beautifully marries the art de vivre of France with our commitment to curating elevated, unforgettable moments. Singapore is the perfect stage for this world-first." In a poetic nod to legacy and elegance, the event will also collaborate with Singapore's prestigious five-star luxury hotel, an icon whose very walls predate the nation itself. The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is steeped in heritage and will provide the perfect foil to the evening's contemporary flair. Founded in 1988, Le Dîner en Blanc has enchanted cities across the world with its blend of surprise, elegance, and collective creativity. Guests arrive dressed head-to-toe in white, bringing their own meals, tableware, and vision to a location disclosed only at the last possible moment. Each edition becomes a fleeting yet unforgettable tableau, equal parts performance, picnic, and dreamscape. To mark this special occasion, the guest list expands to 3,000 attendees. The largest yet, while staying true to the event's most beloved traditions: secrecy, equality, and shared artistry. Even media guests will receive sponsored invitations and join as equals, seated among fellow revelers, immersed in the same unfolding magic. "Everyone arrives on equal footing," added Chiang Yee. "That's where the magic lies. The destination may be unknown, but the feeling of unity is unmistakable." In a world where luxury increasingly means experience, not excess, Le Dîner en Blanc offers a rare kind of opulence: the kind rooted in memory, wonder, and connection. It is a moment to pause, to savour, and to rediscover the joy of shared elegance. Further announcements including participating maisons, design collaborators, and special guest appearances will be unveiled ahead of the official media launch in July. -END- About Le Dîner en Blanc Singapore Le Dîner en Blanc Singapore is the local chapter of the global French-origin concept that brings thousands of people together for a secret, all-white outdoor dining experience.
