Leslie Bibb was the woman of the hour Wednesday evening, swanning about the room at Hotel Chelsea making introductions and receiving praise.
Still riding the wave of success from “The White Lotus,” the actress is featured on the cover of Cultured Magazine’s Hamptons issue, and to celebrate, the magazine hosted a party in Bibb’s honor.
Bibb was joined by her partner Sam Rockwell and “White Lotus” costar Sam Nivola, as well as Jordan Roth, Busy Philipps, LaQuan Smith, Billy Crudup, Iris Apatow, Chris Messina, Cynthia Rowley and more.

“I’m an introvert who masks as an extrovert, so it’s all an illusion of complete nervous disassociation that is happening in my guts right now,” Bibb confessed during a quiet moment in a side room, between her socializing.

Her Cultured shoot had taken place out in the Hamptons over a gray and overcast Memorial Day weekend, which is actually how Bibb prefers the Hamptons.
“Everyone thinks that the Hamptons is sun and fun, and I like the Hamptons like Gurney’s. I got hip to the Hamptons in the wintertime in the ’90s, and I went to Gurney’s for the first time and it was the first time I’d ever been in a salt water pool. I felt so luxe,” Bibb said. “I’m just a girl from Virginia. I didn’t know about salt water pools. You had to go to the ocean!”
These days, Bibb’s favorite part of the Hamptons remains Montauk.
“It’s just something about being at the end to be the last one. I think it weeds out our modern people who don’t have a strong constitution,” she said. “And there’s something about being at the tip feels like the tip of the world.”
Her own summer plans remain up in the air, this time by design.
“I feel like whenever I make a plan, the universe goes, ‘Ha ha. Nice try.’ So my plan is to not have a plan,” she said. “My plan is to just say ‘yes’ and to be in flow with whatever happens. But I think I’m going to go upstate — get out of town with your dog, and Sammy, we’ve both been on sort of a busy schedule, so we’re going to do that.”
