Vogue100 and PatBO Hosted a Sunset Yacht Soirée with Patricia Bonaldi

A golden hour evening on the Atlantic ocean couldn’t have been more perfectly staged. Warm breezes drifted off the water, the sky already blushing toward gold, and a glowing full moon foreshadowing the next night’s supermoon. Against this backdrop, Patricia Bonaldi welcomed Vogue100 aboard a sculpted Sanlorenzo yacht for a sunset gathering inspired by PatBO’s exuberant spirit.

Vogue100 arrived by tender as the sun began its slow descent. Daniela Botero Saunders stepped aboard in a floor-length PatBO lace gown with a corseted bodice and side cut-outs, while Gloria Zhu dazzled in a vivid red fringe maxi that swayed with rhythmic ease. Bondaldi—radiant in her own signature fringe—greeted them, delighted by how each woman brought their own vibrant energy to the evening’s palette.

By the time Vogue100 settled onto the top deck, the sky had deepened into honeyed tones, and the full moon cast a diffused glow across the city skyline. Glasses of chilled Ruinart champagne clinked as the evening unfolded over small bites. Conversations flowed easily, with the designer sharing insights into her world of playful elegance and pattern mixing, each anecdote reflecting the backstory of PatBO.

As twilight gave way to nightfall, the yacht became a floating constellation of laughter and light. “PatBOat!” someone cheered, and soon the toast echoed across the main deck, accompanied by swaying fringe, shimmering silhouettes, and the Miami skyline glistening like a stage crafted for celebration—a perfect finale to a sunset soirée. “To be global is to be local,” Patricia Bonaldi said, a reminder of the ethos behind her brand and the vibrant energy that defined the evening.
