Vogue editor Anna Wintour is also raising funds for Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone.
The famed fashion diva, the inspiration for the book and movie "The Devil Wears Prada," will hold an intimate $1,000-a-head soiree for about 50 for Bellone's re-election at Wintour's Mastic Beach retreat June 20.
Wintour is best known as a fundraiser for the museum's Costume Institute, which draws both Wall Street tycoons and Hollywood stars.
It is the first event that Wintour has done for Bellone, but she in the past also held a fundraiser for former Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop, Bellone campaign aides say.
