Still processing the gala, but WOW. So many of you said “that dress was dressing,” and honestly, it made my day! I know it was a rare fashion moment from me 😂
For those who don’t know, this dress was custom-made by the incredible @bg_crafted team.
It took months to bring the vision to life, because if you know me, I’m indecisive about what I want to wear! But I knew I wanted something puffy and floral at the bottom, and they worked with me step by step, even making a lookbook to get it just right and sending back up dresses in case I wanted alternatives.
Fun fact- my first YEP gala years ago, I wore red then too!
If you’re in Addis (or anywhere!) and want a team that will bring your vision to life, even if you’re not quite sure what it is yet, they are it.
Thank you, BG team, for making me feel like a princess on one of the most important nights of my life!
