BBR BLACK BEAUTY EXCELLENCE LUNCHEON
2025The BBR x NYFW Black Beauty Excellence Luncheon presented by Ulta Beauty celebrated Black beauty excellence in front of and behind the camera while also discussing what is needed to push Black beauty equity forward across fashion, media and beauty industries.
It was a powerful celebration of brilliance, legacy, and the beauty of community. We brought together the best of the best—visionary beauty professionals, influential creators, inspiring models, dedicated allies, and respected industry leaders—to honor their impact and uplift their contributions.
From iconic trailblazers to rising voices, the room overflowed with wisdom, passion, and beauty. It was an afternoon filled with love, gratitude, and flowers—an expression of our deep appreciation for those shaping the future of beauty.
