This high-end Hamptons fashion event accidentally got wet and wild! <\/p>\n
We hear that a private Balmain dinner<\/a> in the Hamptons ended up with \u201cseveral guests falling into an indoor wading pool that was perilously close\u201d to a long elegant dining table.<\/p>\n The chic VIP event was to celebrate the upcoming Couture Council of the Museum at FIT honoring Balmain\u2019s Olivier Rousteing<\/a> at its upcoming annual luncheon<\/a> next month at\u00a0Lincoln Center. The Hamptons event was also put on by Bloomingdale\u2019s.<\/p>\n A witness at the event told Page Six that a number of attendees, \u201cin dresses and gowns worth between $7,500 and $25,000 and wearing millions of dollars in jewels, fell into the pool while trying to mingle with other guests during the dinner at a private home in East Hampton.\u201d<\/p>\n High society guests attended a Balmain and Bloomingdale\u2019s event in the Hamptons.

Robert Couri Hay\/Instagram<\/p>\n Another source said: \u201cSome women actually steeped into the wading pool\u2026 It was a gorgeous dinner!\u201d <\/p>\n (The wading pool next to a long table was pretty shallow, according to social media pics from the event, so no one would\u2019ve gone off the deep end, so to speak.) <\/p>\n An insider told us, \u201cThe sophisticated dinner featured Waterford crystal glasses and over 50 crystal chandeliers suspended above one long table that was situated next to the edge of a shallow indoor pool, which doubled as a runway for pedestals showcasing mannequins dressed in Balmain.\u201d<\/p>\n Luckily the water was shallow! Robert Couri Hay\/Instagram<\/p>\n But apparently some fancy dresses got soggy. BFA.com \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n And, \u201cAlthough waiters from top-tier caterer, Olivier Cheng, stood guard at the edge of the pool, which was just four-feet from the table, five people still fell into the water!\u201d<\/p>\n After the fifth social took a dip, with a \u201cface-plant,\u201d we hear that the hostess \u201chad the floor of the [level of the] pool raised and the water drained away, and the problem was solved.\u201d Phew! You can do that in the Hamptons! \u201cThe dripping-wet and unharmed guest jumped up and laughed off the incident.\u201d <\/p>\n One of the night\u2019s hosts joked that she likes to throw parties with \u201can element of danger,\u201d and cracked that she hoped the temporary chandeliers decorating the event didn\u2019t fall onto the tables. <\/p>\n The chic bash was also thrown by Bloomingdale\u2019s. BFA.com \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n Ramona Singer was along the VIP guests. Carl Timpone\/BFA.com\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n \u201cShe also warned them about the proximity of the pool to the table, and said that whoever fell in would get a free Balmain dress,\u201d said a spy. (One guest who got wet apparently asked the hostess for the free dress and was told she would get it!) <\/p>\n We hear that attendees included Ramona Singer, Fern Mallis, Jean Shafiroff, Monica Elias, Nicole Salmasi, Valerie Steele and 100 top Balmain clients. <\/p>\n \u201cAfter dessert, everyone went downstairs to go bowling and dance,\u201d said the insider. <\/p>\n Guests also danced and bowled at the private home.
