Celebrating Lupita Nyong’o As the New Global Brand Ambassador for De Beers

Last night, editors, influencers, and models gathered to celebrate Lupita Nyong’o as the new Global Ambassador of De Beers Diamonds:

The brand kicked off the announcement with an event that acknowledged their past, all the while toasting to a bright future with a performance by Chloe Bailey, followed by dinner prepared by Chef Roze Traore.

Many Bombers and Bombshells were in attendance, dripping in De Beers diamonds.

Take a look:

Model Cindy Bruna was pretty in a pink Avellano latex dress.

Lupita Nyong’o bet on classic black for the night.

Black was a popular choice, as witnessed by the chic ensembles Sally Morrison and Kennedy Yanko donned for the evening.

Leyna Bloom was a vision in Giambattista Valli prints.

Jessica Wang was stunning in a bejeweled green gown.

Nicole Ari Parker was ravishing in red.

Project Runway’s Elaine Welteroth showed off her stems in a black dress and Mach and Mach shoes.

After her performance, Chloe Bailey grabbed a photo with Lupita and her sister Halle, who came to support.

And I attended in a dress by LBV of CL and a coat from Konstantine Furs.

It was a wonderful event, and I look forward to exploring more ways to highlight De Beers and their initiatives.
