Happy New Year! I kicked off 2026 wearing a Genesis Jacket from a Black Female Designer You Should Know, Daykeyla Fashions: I paired it with a sequined tassel skirt, sparkly tights, and Christian Louboutin pumps for my last shoot of 2025.

The holidays in Los Angeles always call for a little extra glamour, and this season I had the pleasure of attending two fabulous events in one evening—each with its own energy, style, and reason to dress up.
