Jami McGuairt-Salazar blew through Manhattan this weekend with the kind of high-gloss glamour that has turned her into a closely followed ItGirl and prominent socialite on social media. The Texas-born beauty treated New York City like her own private playground, floating from penthouse sunsets to courtside seats, from the city’s most impossible to book dining rooms to late-night hotspots where only the boldfaced names get waved in.
Her weekend began high above the skyline, where she shared a sunset view from her NoMad penthouse, a silhouette framed against a Manhattan horizon streaked in pink and gold. From there, she slipped into a weekend that read like a socialite’s private diary. McGuairt-Salazar secured a table at Crane Club, the reservation everyone wants and almost no one gets, before heading to The Plaza for high tea, where she blended into the old-NewYork elegance as if she’d been raised on it. The socialite capped her nights with after-hours festivities at Marquee and Pergola, where the city’s celebrity and socialite circles converge.
McGuairt-Salazar wasn’t alone in her Manhattan jaunt. Her husband, Dallas C. Salazar, a commodities venture capitalist whose empire spans oil, gas, and now trucking, was in town making a run on Wall Street. Salazar’s latest acquisition, a major trucking company, adds another jewel to the couple’s growing industrial portfolio. Together, they’ve quietly become a visible couple with influence, visibility, and reach growing in tandem with their wealth. McGuairt-Salazar’s rise in New York’s social and fashion circles is closely connected to the business ventures they’re building together, a modern blend of Texas oil grit and Manhattan polish.
But the crown jewel of her weekend was Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. A diehard Knicks fan, Jami returned to her signature courtside seats for the Knicks-Suns matchup on January 17. Dressed in a chic blue dress that embellished her waist, cinched belt, and fur coat, she turned the front row into a runway. Cameras caught her laughing, cheering, and chatting with other VIPs, the kind of effortless courtside glam that has become her calling card.
Whether she’s sipping tea at The Plaza, whispering over champagne about her husband’s next big takeover, or cheering courtside in fur, Jami McGuairt-Salazar continues to deliver the aspirational escapism her audience can’t get enough of.
