Good to know
The 2025 edition was Oct 18, 2025 at JW Marriott Marquis, so the 2026 date moved a week earlier. Round 1 flagged a Diario Las Americas hit titled jueves 13 de agosto 2026 mentioning Diamond Ball; never opened, possible date conflict. Related: Fashion Gives Back (Nicklaus, Bass Museum) was Nov 13, 2025; 2026 edition not verified, expected mid-Nov. No og:image on the page. Dress code not specified.
