Happy Tuesday!
Yesterday, I was honored to attend the Studio Museum in Harlem Gala:
The event, which champions artists of African-American descent, brimmed over with notables from the fashion, beauty, entertainment, and political world. It was my first Gala, so I was happy to be there!
Take a look at a few fly attendees:
Erika Munro and Debbie Lorenzo
A stunning beauty in a Givenchy Tribal Print Jersey Gown
Designer Tracy Reese and Dr. Rosemarie Ingleton
Me with 12 Years a Slave Director Steve McQueen
Studio Museum Director and Chief Curator Thelma Golden in Duro Olowu
Oprah’s Adam Glassman, Bethann Hardison, Mike, and Grace Mahary
Lovely Fashion Bomb Readers and Museum Board Members
Fashion Photographer Bill Cunningham
Beauties in B Michael America and Christian Dior
I attended as a guest and not press, so didn’t bring Pierre with me inside (hence the Iphone photos–my bad!).
Instead of go with a typical gown, I decided to take a risk in a white Topshop tuxedo anchored by a sequined shirt.

Stuart Weitzman nudist sandals and silver rings completed my look.
Gotta admit: I ultimately felt a tad underdressed!
But I have another gala coming up next month (I’m on Ebony Magazine’s 2014 Power 100 List, and have been invited to attend their gala in LA on November 19th).
The search is on for the perfect Gala dress!
Until then, thoughts on my choice?
