Features Review: 25 Most Stylish event
Posted By T. Strong on Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Saturday night, I had the pleasure of attending the 25 Most Stylish event at Butter in the N.C. Music Factory. This fashionable event serves as the kickoff to Style Week Charlotte every year, and this year all of the attendees were able to "party like a rock star."
As a "Hall of Fame" inductee, one of the top 5 of the 25 Most Stylish circa 2010, I enjoyed seeing all of this year's winners come out to show off their best looks. Honestly, I haven't seen so many fashion-forward folks in one room in a very long time, if ever!

With all of the night's activities, from red carpet photos and the VIP mixer to the fashion presentation by Saks Off Fifth, the event was certainly not one to be missed. In fact, I ran into a good friend of mine, Samantha Badger, who was excited to be nominated for a second time. "I really love what Bridgette has done to bring more stylish events to the Queen City," she said.
That's Bridgette West she's talking about, founder and creator of Style Week Charlotte and the 25 Most Stylish event. (Stay tuned for footage from the entire night of festivities.)
I had a great time hosting the 360 Shoe Cam, in which I lured attendees up on the podium to show off their shoes. It seems I'm not the only one who's having a love affair with footwear. Both men and women were definitely not shy making their debut!
Be sure to come out for some of the other official Style Week events!
