As the last supermoon of the year illuminated the warm air of Miamithe big ones Hollywood stars accompanied Bad Bunny at the inauguration of Gekkō restaurant. A place that promises to become the hot spot of Brickell.
The Japanese-inspired steakhouse owned by the hotel tycoon David Grutman y al Latin American musician and actor Bad Bunny; opened its doors to a select list of guests who are the ones who really dominate the night in the ‘Magic City’, as it is also known Miami.
A peculiar coincidence? Goofy translates from Japanese to English as ‘moonlight’, but it was pure coincidence that the restaurant’s launch was scheduled on the same night as this astrological phenomenon.
Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner (who have made Miami their home since last year, having moved from Los Angeles) were seen chatting with David and Victoria Beckham who divide their time between UK and South Florida.
three of the four sons of the beckhams were also present: Romeo, Cruz and Harper (Romeo plays for Inter Miami, David’s soccer club.) And among other great attendees: DJ Khaled had a great time, like Devon Windsor, Future and many more.
The opening took place in August, a time when Miami is quieter than usual, but perhaps this was what allowed all these stars to attend and see what a powerful duo they are. Grutman and Bunny.
The first is an expert in merging hospitality and entertainment with places like LIVthe popular night club of Miami Beachy The Goodtime Hotelin which he is also a partner of Pharrell Williams.
The second, well, let’s just say this publisher hadn’t seen that many fans in a long, long time. Bad Bunny is hyperfamous and successful. A crowd of admirers poured into the streets, letting out deafening screams when he finally arrived, and subsequently chased the car in which he left the evening.
Inside, the atmosphere was very vibrant but refined. The warm rooms Goofywith vaulted, matte-black cathedral ceilings, are surprisingly intimate for their sheer scale, something in which Grandman he insisted: ‘Think of your usual steakhouse. It is family and personal. Well imagine that, but with Japanese cuisine and a touch of Miami. Color, texture, good music. That’s what we want in Goofy‘, he claimed.
And the looks? Grutman’s wife, Isabela, wore an elegant bodysuit by Saint Laurent, Cruz Beckham wore an oversized jacket in washed denim, and Bad Bunny was from Louis Vuitton from head to toe. Although he assured that ‘the boxers were from Versace’.
