“Virtual Reali-Tea” takes the Hamptons.
Celebrities, influencers and a few “Real Housewives of New York City” legends stepped out for Page Six’s VRT Out East party at Barlume Beach in Montauk Thursday night.
Luann de Lesseps, 61, stunned in a hunter green matching set, while Sonja Morgan, 62, dazzled in a gold-sequin leotard and a silky pink floor-length robe.
Kelly Bensimon, 58, showed us that less is more when she strutted in wearing a pair of low-rise cutoff denim shorts and a navy blue halter crop top.
The evening took place less than one month after it was announced that “The Golden Life,” E!’s spinoff series with the OG “RHONY” cast, had been green-lit for more episodes.
After filming the first part of the series in sunny Florida, the network confirmed that the next part would take place in the Hamptons.
Morgan, de Lesseps and Bensimon — who last reunited for Bravo’s “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 4 — were also joined by the latest additions to “The Golden Life” cast: “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Margaret Josephs, 59, and journalist Candace Bushnell, 67, whose work inspired “Sex and the City.”
While the stars were there to celebrate, there seemed to be a little more going on behind the scenes as Morgan and Josephs engaged in a tense conversation from the moment they arrived.
“Virtual Reali-Tea” co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real were present for all of the hot gossip. The rest of us will just have to wait a few more months to find out exactly what was going down (wink, wink).
Elsewhere at the soirée, de Lesseps ran into an old pal — Barbara Kavovit — who appeared as a “friend of” on “RHONY” Season 11.
While Kavovit publicly declared the end of her friendship with de Lesseps back in 2019, she told Page Six they recently made amends.
We caught the pair hugging it out and taking photos together at the event. Suffice it to say, they now seem to be cool (not, like, uncool).
The love fest continued with Hilaria Baldwin, 42, as she reunited with Josephs months after filming the upcoming Prime Video series “Reality Retreat” together.
Meanwhile, Morgan and de Lesseps — who also brought her daughter Victoria, 31, as her plus-one — proved that some things never change when we caught them flashing their undergarments to each other in the middle of the party.
We even grabbed a quick word with Bushnell — the real-life Carrie Bradshaw — and she revealed which “Sex and the City” characters resonate most with her fellow “Golden Life” co-stars.
“I think they would all be Samantha,” she said. “They always are so independent and have so much fun and they are bold — just like Samantha!”
The evening ended with a fireside chat amongst the “Golden Life” women and a perfectly chaotic group photo.
Other notable attendees included influencer Kate Diament, “Excuse My Grandma” creator Kimberly Murstein, brand strategist Lexi Barbuto and Spotlight Magazine editor-in-chief Sydney Sadick Adams.
