Saturday marked the return of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic to New York City — well, it took place Jersey City's Liberty State Park, so close enough. New Yorkers boarded the ferry from Battery Park City over to the grassy knoll that sits in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, and they really came for two things: Champagne and fashion (okay, and maybe some polo).

The event not only draws a bevy of celebrities and models each year, but also serves as a life-as-runway moment for guests in attendance. Whether guests went for preppy dresses, jumpsuits with daring cutouts, or classic fit-and-flares topped off with fascinators and parasols, everyone in attendance was most definitely fancy.
