At the Miami Beach convention center, this year’s Art Basel offered a preponderance of Keith Haring works, several of Richard Prince’s Monochromatic Jokes paintings, and at least two robotic dogs affixed with replicas of Elon Musk’s head. At the party circuit that surrounds the fair, there were, as always, packs of starlets and socialites in their Miami-chic best, arty photo backdrops, and lots and lots of free-flowing champagne. Naturally, every year of Art Basel Miami Beach brings its own unique party moments that you can’t put a red dot on. Capital One brought in Diana Ross to run through an album’s worth of her greatest hits for a performance within Alex Prager’s Los Angeles-inspired installation; Marc Jacobs toasted a season of “Joy”; and Tag Heuer celebrated a new watch. Here, all of the best party pictures from ABMB 2025.

Alex Prager’s Mirage Factory With Capital One x The Cultivist

Alex Prager’s Mirage Factory installation is a surrealist reinterpretation of Los Angeles, done in miniature. Diana Ross, meanwhile, is larger than life. Capital One and The Cultivist brought both together on Wednesday night. In between California cuisine-inspired courses provided by chef Dave Beran, Ross ran through her hits including “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” and “The Boss.”
