Jimmy Buffett attended a benefit dinner for the Surfrider Foundation over the weekend with Richard Gere and Anjelica Huston. From WWD Eye Scoop: “Chanel at the Montauk Shore”
The Crow’s Nest in Montauk was Chanel Central on Saturday. The design house brought out champion surfer Laird Hamilton, the ambassador for its J12 Marine watch, with his wife, pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, and their two tow-headed daughters, Reece, 6, and Brody, 2, for a day-long celebration of the timepiece and publication of “The Wave,” by Susan Casey.
That evening, partygoers reconvened on the hotel’s terrace for dinner, benefiting the Surfrider Foundation. There were a few additions — for instance, Anjelica Huston, a longtime friend of Hamilton and Reece who arrived with Jimmy “Margaritaville” Buffett, with whom she was staying. Richard Gere and Carey Lowell, who were also in attendance, are friends with Buffett, too, though the actor couldn’t recall how they had met. “I don’t even know why I’m here,” he said, before returning to Rachel Weisz, who commandeered his attention throughout cocktails.
