Mar-a-Lago is one of Florida’s most famous clubs, situated in the waterfront community of Palm Beach. Over the years, the club has hosted a range of events, from charity galas to fashion shows. With that has come a range of celebrity guests as well, from Donald Trump — the owner — to stars including Serena Williams, P.Diddy and Hunter Hayes.

Celine Dion was among the names in 1996 at the Chanel fashion show held at Mar-a-Lago on Feb. 26. The singer wore a graphic-print dress with the brand’s sandals. She also attended the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party and posed for photos moments past midnight on Jan. 1 in 1999 alongside her late husband Rene Angelil and Melania Trump and Donald Trump.

In 2005, Serena Williams and her sister Venus attended Russell Simmons’ Art For Life event at the Trump property, which honored rapper P.Diddy. For the occasion, Serena wore a purple silk dress and matching heels; Venus opted for a similar monochrome outfit, conning a sparkly black sleeveless wrap dress and matching flower-topped sandals.
