February 8th, 2025

On Saturday Mickey and Madeline Arison, along with Pat and Chris Riley, hosted the “Saturday Night Vice” Gala, presented by Amerant Bank, an exclusive fundraising event to benefit the Miami HEAT charitable fund. Saturday Night Vice intersects the world of basketball with iconic Miami Vice fashion. Celebrity guests Eric Andre, Swae Lee, Jill Martin, Ana Navarro and Lenny Taverez joined the festivities to raise more than $1.1M.

Guests were immersed in a one-of-a-kind VIP experience including personalized locker room nameplates, iconic tunnel-fit photos, custom The Original Vice jerseys and more. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro were joined by the entire HEAT player roster including the recent acquisitions Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell and Kyle Anderson for a surprise performance of “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins (HEAT player version).

Players also participated in a style competition judged by Tyler Herro. Live auction items included an F1 experience for two tickets for all three days of F1 Miami in the 72-Club with VIP Car Service; the opportunity to escort a player on Media Day, fly on the HEAT team plane for the 2025 pre-season game in Puerto Rico, attend press conferences, and watch all practices while in Puerto Rico, and two-year lease on a 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ, an electric SUV that redefines sophistication with its sleek design, premium interior, and cutting technology. Guests danced the night away alongside the HEAT players and legends before receiving a personalized Giorgio Armani garment bag with The Original Vice jersey inside to close out the evening.

Beyond the entertainment, the night highlighted the HEAT’s deep connection to the Miami community, something the players value greatly. Bam Adebayo reflected on how the organization fosters that connection, especially for young fans, saying, “The way the city and the organization connected me is through the community. Seeing kids experience the HEAT up close, practice in the facility, and enjoy those moments is truly special.”
The emphasis on community extends to all levels of the organization. Nikola Jović and Alec Burks, a recent addition to the team, both recognized and shared that The HEAT is big in the Miami community, and their happy to help do their part. Jaime Jaquez Jr. echoed that sentiment, saying, “The city shows so much love to us, so it’s only right that we reciprocate that back.”
For some players, giving back takes on a personal mission. Keshad Johnson recently took part in a local outreach initiative, helping elementary school students receive free haircuts. “Everybody, from top to bottom, we are in tune with the community. I’m just trying to get more involved,” he shared. Meanwhile, Terry Rozier, through his 12 Blessings Foundation, has partnered with the HEAT to support local kids, adding, “The HEAT are always hands-on and make it easier for me when I’m trying to do something like passing out gifts.”
For others, the idea of giving back extends beyond Miami. Pella Larsson, originally from Sweden, shared his ambition to grow the sport in his home country, saying, “I definitely want to give back where I came from and help grow basketball there.”
Of course, fashion was also a key part of the night, with players bringing their unique styles to the event. Duncan Robinson, rockin’ a turtleneck, admitted he second-guessed the decision, saying, “Some thought the turtleneck made sense, but I’m getting a lot of feedback that maybe it wasn’t.” “I just didn’t want to wear a tie.” Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo credited his mentor, Kevin Graves, for inspiring his suit choices, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. gave his girlfriend credit for picking out his look.
Established in 1997, the Charitable Foundation – Miami HEAT strives to positively impact the lives of at-risk families in our South Florida community by supporting organizations focused on three primary areas: youth programs, education and health and wellness initiatives. Programs receiving support include the Jackson Memorial Foundation Angels benefitting Holts Children’s Hospital, SafeSpace, a domestic violence center for women and children, Dedication to Community and HomeStrong. More than $18M has been raised since the event’s inception in 2006.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
