Fashion is usually about the clothes, but what if it could profoundly change how a child sees their own worth? 👗✨
This conversation with the incredible Tawna Kelley gave me absolute goosebumps. In Episode 8, we’re talking about a mission that goes far beyond the runway. It’s not just about providing basic material needs—it’s about giving the ultimate gift of self-actualization to young girls in Uganda.
Imagine taking the finest, one-of-a-kind couture and producing a fashion show where they are the queens. 👑 It’s about showing girls who go to sleep in the dirt that they aren't just surviving, but that they are beautiful, cherished, and deeply treasured.
I couldn't help but get emotional during this sit-down. This is the true ennoblement of humankind.

This year’s gala centers on the art of storytelling—through cinematic visions, the atmosphere of iconic television and film sets, and everything in between. With the creativity and dedication of our talented production team, we were able to bring that vision to life through an immersive set designed to capture the essence of this year’s concept.
It comes as no surprise that Tommy captured these moments so beautifully. His photographs perfectly reflect the spirit of this year’s theme, embodying both the visual narrative and the creative direction we set out to achieve.

There’s something powerful about the little rituals.
The quiet moments before the day begins.
The skincare. The softness. The intention.
As we age, wellness becomes less about perfection…
and more about caring for ourselves with consistency and grace.
One tiny detail that makes me feel more confident lately?
Longer, healthier lashes.
I’ve tried a lot over the years, but Babe Lash has honestly become one of my favorite additions to my routine. Subtle. Elegant. Effective. 🤍
