It’s the most … wonderful time … of the year! There’ll be parties for hosting, celebrity outfits for roasting, and DJs spinning out in the sand. There’ll be scary gallery stories and tales of the glories of Basel drama long, long ago. Art Basel Miami: It’s the tackiest season of allllll!

Today marks the last day of Art Basel Miami 2017, and frankly, we’re exhausted.

During the daylight hours, Soho Beach House hosted “The Last Ten Years: Tracey Emin in Conversation with Alastair Gordon,” and by night, the spot had turned into a top party venue, where Jez Pereira DJ’ed the launch of Photo Butler at Art Basel with Anna Rothschild and Claudine De Niro. Over at the Faena Theatre, celebs including Morgan Brown, Gerard Butler, Camila Alves, and Matthew McConaughey hit up Duran Duran’s live show, and based on Butler’s and McConaughey’s very sweaty faces, the show was definitely fun (or at least hot).

Other popular nighttime events included the Kickstarter Dinner in honor of Art Basel and artist Glenn Kaino and Olympian Tommie Smith, The Art EDITION Hosted by The Academy New York and presented by Highsnobiety, and an INTERMIX x Caroline Constas Mer launch dinner, among a million parties, both planned and informal.

We can see the finish line of Art Basel Miami 2017. In honor of making it through the very long weekend, look back on all the best, most artfully outrageous looks that artists, celebrities, and guests wore in Miami Beach, below.
