Center stage was owned by Love & Hip Hop star Hazel‑E, whose high‑energy performance lit up the night and hinted at what may be a developing residency at the venue. Cheering her on from the front row were Craig “Rhino” Smith, retired LA Clippers forward known for his dominance in the paint, and Torrey Craig, NBA defensive force who has made an impact with teams like the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. The duo brought undeniable courtside energy to the party.
But the night wasn’t just about performances it was about presence. Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, fresh off attending the ESPYs, made a stunning appearance and gracefully brushed off a minor wardrobe mishap from earlier in the evening. Her cool composure was matched by a guest list packed with NBA corporate execs, Lakers statistical analysts, and behind‑the‑scenes decision‑makers from across the industry.
Partygoers were also treated to a thoughtful selection of gifts from event sponsors. Poppi delivered its cult‑favorite prebiotic sodas, Ike’s Sandwiches served their signature late‑night subs, and Slay Swimwear offered exclusive drops from their fashion‑forward swim line adding a splash of style to the scene.
The event was produced by Affinity Nightlife, led by nightlife curator Adam Glove, whose reputation for high‑impact experiences continues to evolve. Known for drawing top‑tier talent and energy, Affinity’s production brought a more refined and strategic edge to the ESPY weekend lineup.
From the glimmering pool to a packed dance floor filled with pro athletes, influencers, and insiders, the night delivered a flawless blend of celebration and connection. A surprise pool dive mid‑party sent the crowd into a frenzy sealing the vibe and the night as one for the books.
