2nd Annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic at the

Governor's Island in New York

Imagine taking a VIP ferry to the Governor's Island to see one of the most prestigious polo matches there is....a "legendary afternoon tea" so to speak. Now, that's a dream. Serious. A catered lunch, unlimited drinks by Veuve Cliquot. And of course, everyone is required to wear their Polo classic...men in clean, cut suits, and women in their most elegant hats. Now, that would be impressive.

Yadda, yadda. So we have Prince Harry from Wales (sure...nice guy, he is the co-founder of American Friends of Sentebale, all the money raised from this polo match will be donated there) AND we have the Black Watch team captain, and undoubtedly, very handsome Nacho Figueras from Argentina. (fyi: Nacho is the face of the new Polo fragrance...) Considering, Argentina is our (Benny & I) romantic, honeymoon getaway, and most unforgettable adventure....I have my money on the Black Watch team for sure! (sorry prince harry)

Miss Chloe Sevigny herself, dressed elegantly. It didn't matter what age you were, there were kids ranging from 3 yrs. old to 15yrs old and adults from every age range. Everyone looked their best, everyone looked hot.

Lorenzo Martone & Marc Jacobs, they sure didn't mind making out the whole time on the red carpet.
