I’m passionate about style because it’s more than clothing — its confidence, self-expression, and individuality.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lily Branstetter in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because I blend timeless pieces with soft, grounding hues. I aim for elegant understatement: classic shapes paired with cozy tones and a unique detail or texture to make each look mine.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moments are the ones where I get to express myself fully — whether that’s putting together the perfect outfit that turns heads or styling a look that tells a story without words.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d finally be able to move out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and start building a real foundation for myself in fashion. I don’t have industry connections, so I’d use it to create opportunities — building my portfolio, meeting people, and investing in experiences that could open doors. For me, it’s not just about style, it’s about creating a life beyond what I’ve known and proving that with passion and hard work, even someone starting from nothing can make it.
