Have you heard of Procter & Gamble’s My Black is Beautiful initiative? Their Imagine a Future program was created to reach and teach millions of black women that they are beautiful through camps, inspirational initiatives and documentary screenings.
Last night they hosted a fab dinner to celebrate reaching 3.2 million girls and women with the program.
They tapped Sevyn Streeter to perform a few of her hits, including Don’t Kill the Fun and It Won’t Stop.
Before the revelry, I caught a bit of Real Style from the fashionable attendees.
Take a look:
How cute is Sevyn Streeter? And she’s super sweet as well! Before hitting the stage, she looked casually cute in a long black vest and ripped black jeans.
Fellow blogger Christina of Love Brown Sugar rocked a dashiki inspired dress from Shop Zuvaa (that I have in cream) and platform sandals.
There were lots of bloggers in the house, including Kela Walker of Kela’s Kloset, who wore a Joe’s Fresh striped dress, Uniqlo vest, and Target heels.
Isis from HypeHair.com repped her brand to the max with a fantastically hype hairstyle.
This gorgeous diva paired an African print top with a flared skirt and red pumps.
I appreciate this guest’s menswear inspired look. And her hair? Gorgeous!
Style Expert Tai Beauchamp was in the building, and draped a Laquan Smith lace coat over a white tank and jeans. Keep an eye out for Tai–she has a new show on TLC called Dare to Wear that debuts this Friday! Check it out!
And I went for silver with a Byron Lars Sequin Kimono Top, an MSGM skirt, and Casadei heels.
It was a great event, and I got a chance to chat it up with Sevyn! Maybe we can do a Closet Confessions video with her. Would you guys be down?
At any rate, P & G’s My Black is Beautiful program is amazing. It’s all about affirming black beauty, no matter the shade or shape. See a trailer for their documentary below:
Here’s hoping I can get more involved in the years to come…!
What do you think?

I love Tai Beu and that lace coat! I didn’t know she had a show coming, I will definitely check it out.
I love Claire’s silver outfit for this event. The sliver color works so well with her skin and hair. I would love to see closet confessions featuring Sevyn
You look great Claire, and would love closet on Sevyn and Tai
