Concours With A Cause

The 2026 Hamptons Concours d’Elegance brought more than $100 million in collector automobiles, celebrity guests and luxury experiences to Bridgehampton, all while supporting two important East End charities and celebrating RAND Luxury’s 20th anniversary

RAND Luxury celebrated its 20th anniversary in grand style with the 2026 Hamptons Concours d’Elegance, an invitation-only gathering that once again sold out in advance. Hosted at the private Bridgehampton estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel, the event brought together automotive collectors, celebrities, luxury brands and philanthropists for one of the Hamptons’ standout summer occasions.

Executive Producer Bradford Rand and his team assembled more than $100 million in collector automobiles, creating an impressive backdrop for an afternoon that blended concours culture with luxury lifestyle experiences. Celebrity guests added their own flair to the judging, with Candace Bushnell presenting the Sexiest Car Award, Todd English presenting the English Award and Ramona Singer presenting the Forever Fabulous Award. Michael Patrizio of title sponsor MAST Capital presented the Diamond Award.

Among the 2026 winners were Dr. Sam Rizk’s 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, which earned the Sexiest Car Award; James Minutello’s 1968 Jaguar XKE, recipient of the English Award; Gregg Gottsegen’s 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS, winner of the Forever Fabulous Award; and Robert Schmitter’s 1964 Porsche 356, voted People’s Choice.

This year also introduced a new “Morning of Wellness” component, co-produced by Morgan Shara. The experience offered fashion, skincare and wellness programming, including a movement and meditation session led by Aspen Shakti founder Jayne Gottlieb. Rand and Shara are already looking ahead to expanding the concept to select destinations around the country.

Guests throughout the day explored an extensive showcase of private aviation, fine jewelry, watches, fashion, art, real estate and home design, while enjoying brunch, premium wines and spirits. Notable attendees included Candace Bushnell, Ramona Singer, Todd English, Fern Mallis, Mike Dirnt of Green Day, Jean Shafiroff, Lois Robbins, Jonathan Tucker and Antonella Bertolucci, among many others.

Beyond the glamour, philanthropy remained central to the event. Proceeds benefited the South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, continuing RAND Luxury’s tradition of combining exceptional automobiles with meaningful charitable giving.

After two decades, RAND Luxury’s Hamptons Concours has evolved into far more than a car show. It is now a full-scale celebration of design, lifestyle, community and giving—powered by extraordinary automobiles and a distinctly Hamptons sense of occasion.
