Vanderpump Rules' Peter Madrigal knows how to work a red carpet. Over the past year, the longtime manager at SUR has popped up at numerous events, where he always manages to know his angles, work the event, and bring along a special someone by his side.
Case in point: Peter's recent appearance at a "Music Is Life" after-party in Los Angeles, California, in February 2025. For the occasion, Peter rocked a black blazer, black T-shirt, and red pants. For the event, he was joined by Mari Aldrich, who wore a multicolored maxi dress and tan pointed-toe heels.
Though it's unclear if Aldrich was Peter's date for the evening or if the pair are currently in a relationship, one thing is clear: they looked super stylish together while posing on the carpet for the event that took place at Academy LA.
In more photos, we saw Peter attend different events again in some stylish threads. At one event in October 2024, Peter posed on the carpet with author Thea de Sousa.
In another snapshot, Peter posed with Lisa Vanderpump and Tom Schwartz at the 7th Annual World Dog Day event in May 2024.
More recently, Peter has walked the carpet solo at a couple of events. He attended the Love Hurts red carpet and captioned a set of photos from the event, "About last night!"
He also attended the M3GAN 2.0 trailer viewing party and raved about the event. "Thank you to Universal Pictures for having me out," he wrote alongside photos. "We had a blast."
Does Peter Madrigal still work at SUR?
Yes, Peter still works at the beloved West Hollywood outpost.
Peter is still holding his longtime role at SUR, and he recently took to Instagram to give fans a glimpse of his life at the iconic West Hollywood restaurant. In a photo co-posted with SUR’s official account, Peter posed alongside fellow employees, dressed in a sleek black suit, white dress shirt, and black shoes, with his signature ponytail neatly tied back.
"The SURvers are ready for an amazing week ahead!" the caption read. "Looking forward to seeing you all soon at SUR."
For those wondering if Peter is still part of LVP's team, his Instagram bio clears up any doubts. "And yes, I really work at SUR," it proudly states.
How long has Peter Madrigal been working at SUR?
Peter has been a SUR employee since the early 2000s.
In 2017, the University of Southern California graduate spoke with The Daily Dish about how he got his start at SUR. While working a job in retail, Peter met SUR co-owner, Guillermo Zapata. After the introduction, he was able to work his way up from a busboy before taking a managerial role in 2011.
"At the time we were going through a recession, or the recession was going to upon us soon, so I wanted to take anything I could get. That's all I wanted," he recalled. "I wanted to take anything I could get at the time. I was like, 'You know what? Suck it up. I'll just work my way to the top from busboy to server/bartender.' That's what I did."
