Inside Maxim’s 2025 Art Basel Miami Party Featuring DJ Ruckus & Flo Rida

Maxim’s Art Basel Miami celebration blended music, fashion, and culture in signature Maxim style. Set against the momentum of Art Basel week—alongside the city’s most influential showcases, including Art Hearts Fashion—the event drew an elite crowd of tastemakers, artists, designers, and influencers for an evening that felt both electric and effortless.

Anchoring the night musically was DJ Ruckus, who headlined the event and set the tone from the opening moments. Known for his high-energy, genre-spanning sets and global presence, Ruckus commanded the room and carried the crowd seamlessly from early evening into a full-scale late-night celebration. The night peaked with a special appearance by celebrated rapper and singer Flo Rida, whose presence amplified the already-charged atmosphere.

The stacked guest list reflected the cultural gravity of the night, with celebrity attendees including French Montana, Justina Sky, Lisa Hochstein, Leon “Starino” Anderson, Chris Lavish, Jimmy Akingbola, Victoria Unikel, Abigail Ratchford, Jaimee Floyd Angele, Betzabeth Matos, Janelle Rodriguez, JNR Choi, Anna DiCenzo, and Maddie Moore.

With Miami serving as the global epicenter of art and fashion for the week, the soiree complemented the energy generated by Art Hearts Fashion, extending the conversation from the runway into nightlife. The crossover of fashion, music, and culture gave the evening a layered, immersive feel that reflected the spirit of Art Basel itself.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed premium hospitality from event sponsors Vellamo Water, which kept the crowd refreshed as the night unfolded, and Calosa Tequila, which anchored the bar program. World Red Eye’ video and photo visual coverage documented the energy, style, and movement that defined the event. A standout image of Flo Rida was captured by Rick Comiskey, whose photography continues to define the visual language of Miami’s most iconic Art Basel moments.

As Art Week unfolded—from gallery openings to runway shows—the Maxim Art Basel Party once again proved why the brand remains a cornerstone of culture, nightlife, and experiential entertainment.
