Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons, the daughters of fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons, attended the 2023 Southampton Arts Center Summerfest in Southampton, New York, on Saturday, embracing the sheer trend.
Ming wore an ethereal white corset dress with a sheer bodice and a silk skirt from Dion Lee. She topped off the look with white crisscross strap-heeled sandals. Aoki donned a black and lace maxi slipdress with sheer detail at the bodice and middle of the skirt from Rat & Boa. She completed the look with black heels from Giuseppe Zanotti.
The Southampton Arts Center Summerfest is an annual event that helps raise funds for the center and honors the donors who help make programming at the institution possible. This year’s event, marking the institution’s 10-year anniversary, was sponsored by Bulgari.
