“Tonight is all about bringing women together,” Molly Sims told a table full of female entrepreneurs, editors, founders—including her co-host Laney Crowell, the brains behind the clean beauty brand Saie—yesterday evening at her sprawling beach house in Sagaponack, New York. The intimate dinner celebrated glowing skin, made possible thanks to both Crowell’s products and YSE Beauty, Sims’ new anti-aging skin care brand, proving that uplifting others is key to building community.

“It’s really, really important that we support each other,” Sims continued. “YSE and Saie is like a perfect marriage: [Crowell’s] makeup, cosmetics, and ethos is incredible.”

The 45-seat teak table by Janus et Cie was flanked by custom benches and set with linen runners and napkins embroidered with both brands’ logos. Each place setting had an oyster featuring a guest’s name scrawled across in script. The menu, curated by chef Woldy Reyes of Woldy Kusina included fish crudo, coconut and herb rice, mushroom steaks with charred lemons, and vanilla cream topped with Oishii’s cult Omakase strawberries for dessert. Each item was handpicked by Crowell and specifically designed “to help us all glow,” she said. Alfredo Merat serenaded the crowd with his guitar as they sat.

Dee Poku, Shoshanna Gruss, and Anna Kaiser were among those in attendance, wearing their summer finest. Looking out at her colleagues and friends against the backdrop of her very own Barbie Dreamhouse (which took four years to build), Sims couldn’t help but smile. “This is my happy place,” she said.
