The Blue Carpet Fashion show was founded by fashion designer Frederick Anderson as a platform to openly discuss prostate cancer. Throughout the day on Thursday, the Blue Jacket Initiative took to the streets to set up free testing and provide educational materials on prostate cancer across New York City.

The event’s festivities began with a “blue carpet,” where the models of the night gave previews of what they would be wearing for the evening. Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winning actor and singer Billy Porter was only on the blue carpet for mere seconds before rushing backstage to fetch his favorite piece of the outfit. He returned a moment later, accessorized with a Thom Brown bag.

When the queen of fashion invites you to a tea party, you go to a tea party. Follow Knockturnals’ experience into the “Luv Urself Event.”
January 17 marked a dazzling spectacle at The House on Sunset, where the one and only Betsey Johnson and the captivating model Gabbriette threw a tea party fit for fashion royalty. This wasn’t your grandma’s tea and crumpets affair; it was the “Luv Urself Event,” celebrating Betsey’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection and campaign in style.
Picture this: a venue transformed into a dreamland of glamour, overflowing with tea, cake, and Betsey Johnson as your queen of fashion royalty, and what better way to celebrate royalty than to have the swanky vibes of LA’s Monty’s Good Burger – a vegan haven that even the carnivores couldn’t resist. And who graced this wonderland? None other than a star-studded guest list including the likes of Matty Healy, Chloe Cherry, Jesse Jo Stark, Drumaq, Stassie Karnanikolaou, Amanda Lepore, Avani Gregg, and the dynamic duo Victoria & Sofia Villarroel, just to name a few.
The crowd at The House on Sunset wasn’t just a sea of faces; it was a vibrant showcase of Betsey Johnson’s iconic influence on fashion. As guests entered the enchanted realm of the “Luv Urself Event,” it was evident that everyone had taken a page from Betsey’s bold and eclectic style playbook. The fashion-forward attendees adorned themselves in a kaleidoscope of archival dresses, each piece a nod to Betsey’s daring and unconventional designs that have become synonymous with self-expression. From whimsical prints to vibrant colors, the event turned into a runway of glamour, where every guest celebrated Betsey’s legacy by showcasing their unique interpretation of her distinctive and ever-inspiring fashion aesthetic. It was a living, breathing tribute to the queen of quirky couture, creating a visual feast that mirrored the exuberance and creativity that defines Betsey Johnson’s timeless appeal.
As the night unfolded, it became clear: this wasn’t just a fashion show; it was a celebration of self-love and all things fabulous. The atmosphere buzzed with creativity as industry creatives mingled, making every corner a photo-worthy backdrop for instagram.
But wait, there’s more! Rupaul’s Drag Race Queens Gottmik, Jaida Essence Hall, and Naomi Smalls took the stage, giving us performances that left our jaws on the floor. DJ Aquaria kept the party pumping all night long, turning The House on Sunset into the hottest dance floor in Hollywood.
And can we talk about Betsey Johnson stealing the show? The queen herself took center stage, and the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. It was a unanimous decision – Betsey was the true queen of the night, and we were all just lucky enough to be in her fabulous realm. Her humble words touched our hearts and we could have not been more grateful than to share that space with her that night.
In a city that thrives on glitz and glamour, the “Luv Urself Event” wasn’t just another soirée; it was a spectacular fusion of fashion, music, and unapologetic self-expression. Betsey Johnson and Gabbriette, take a bow – you’ve given LA a night to remember, and we can’t wait for the encore!

What better way to kick off Dry January than with mocktails and manicures? Mingle Mocktails and GLOSSLAB graciously extended an invite to a girls’ night out and treated us to both—lucky us!
The founder of Mingle Mocktails, Laura Taylor, was mingling among the guests for a Dry January event, which allowed guests to try each of the lineup of the beverage’s flavors. With a drink in hand, guests were also treated to a complimentary manicure.
(I picked the perfect shade to match my beveragino—Mingle Mocktail’s “Cranberry Cosmo!”)
My nails dried insanely fast—which made it infinitely harder to keep myself from indulging in the spread laid out for the evening. In addition to a charcuterie board and finger desserts from Eataly, the food also included the cutest “cakes-in-a-jar” from Andie’s Eats, a local bakery in NYC.
(I snuck a jar of the S’mores cake in my swag bag—no regrets everyone!)
I was honestly impressed with Mingle Mocktails—especially after trying so many soda alternatives over the past year. “Blood Orange Elderflower Mimosa” was my favorite, with “Cranberry Cosmo” coming in at a hard second.
You can find Mingle Mocktails at Whole Foods and several grocers across NYC via their store locator HERE. You can also find GLOSSLAB locations citywide for the fastest manicure in New York!
The trendy online retailer coming to NYC may just be the gift of the season!
