About this Event

HELLO, GORGEOUS!

Get ready to step into a world of magic, fantasy, and fierce fairytales. Whether you're channeling your inner queen, sorceress, warrior, or woodland enchantress... this night will be your storybook moment brought to life.

Mark your calendars and start dreaming up your look. Because next year, we write our own fairy tale... and the heroine? She looks a lot like you.

More details coming soon... but trust us, this will be an unforgettable chapter. Whether you're going full fantasy or adding a magical twist to your favorite glam, here are some ideas to spark your imagination:
ROYAL REALNESS - Think queen, princess, or empress. Long flowing gowns, crowns or tiaras, rich velvets, and dramatic capes.
WHIMSICAL FAIRY VIBES - Sheer layers, floral accents, wings, glitter, and iridescent details. Dreamy pastels or enchanted forest greens.
DARK FAIRYTALE & VILLIAN ENERGY - Channel your inner sorceress, enchantress, or misunderstood villainess. Deep tones, corsets, lace, leather, dramatic makeup.
MYTHICAL CREATURES - Unicorn-inspired glam, woodland nymphs, mermaids, phoenixes, or dragons. Add feathers, scales, shimmer, or fantasy headpieces.
MODERN STORYBOOK TWIST - Tulle skirts with combat boots, fantasy-meets-red-carpet glam, or anything that feels like your own magical rewrite of a classic tale.
The vibe: bold, beautiful, and completely YOU. This is your night to play, express, and walk into the room like the main character you are.
-------------------
This event was created to celebrate 40 special women who've participated in the 40 Over 40 Project . The project tells the stories of 40 women over the age of 40 and to start a conversation around the beauty of aging and change the way the world sees and hears mature women. Instead of a private, intimate affair... we decided to throw a huge party and invite ALL WOMEN to come and celebrate in style!
