Spotlight Magazine and Founder & Editor-in-Chief Sydney Sadick brought together their community in Southampton for an evening celebrating August Cover star Stacey Bendet, founder and creative director of luxury fashion label Alice + Olivia, and the women shaping fashion, culture, and beyond.


Set against a stunning sunset, the evening brought together an inspiring mix of fashion, culture, and creative talent for cocktails, conversation, and an up-close look at Alice + Olivia’s signature style. Guests mingled throughout the beautiful Southampton space, taking in the collection while celebrating Bendet and the women whose vision, ambition, and influence continue to shape their industries and communities.


From the gorgeous clothes to the warm summer setting, the evening was a true celebration of the Spotlight community and the incredible women at the heart of our latest issue. Guests sipped wine from Daou Vineyards and cocktails by Lalo Tequila throughout the night, while artist Sophie Fain painted beautiful live illustrations for the guests.

A special thank you to everyone who joined us in Southampton to celebrate Stacey Bendet, Alice + Olivia, and the remarkable women who continue to inspire us.
