Natali Hister Osted, an Israeli-American lawyer and philanthropist, celebrated her 39th birthday with an extravagant summer getaway on the Greek island of Mykonos. The event featured a stylish and diverse wardrobe, impressive table designs, and branded gifts from luxury international and Israeli brands. Osted and her husband, New York real estate mogul Edward (Ed) Osted, gathered about 15 close friends who traveled from New York, Miami, Monaco, and Israel to join the celebration.

The festivities began with a private villa reception where guests dressed in shades of light blue and white enjoyed live music, dancers, and the traditional Greek plate-breaking ceremony. A private pop-up of the New York brand Retrofête was also part of the event. Natali Osted wore a distinctive light blue Pucci dress with a delicate collar and floor-length cut, continuing a trend also seen on Israeli model Bar Refaeli. Other outfits included a red-coral-pink Pucci mini dress and a golden sequined Roberto Cavalli dress for a sunset dinner.

Beyond the glamorous wardrobe and entertainment, the party included a spa area for guests and prominently displayed an Israeli flag overlooking the sea throughout the vacation, symbolizing patriotism and unity. Natali and Edward Osted are active figures in the Jewish community in the U.S., strengthening ties with Israel through philanthropy, community leadership, and combating antisemitism. They support organizations such as United Hatzalah, with Natali serving on its board, and recently hosted an emergency fundraiser at their home that raised about $2 million for life-saving efforts after the October 7 attacks. They also assist IDF soldiers, war victims, Israeli organizations, and promote Jewish education in the U.S.
