Wow fashion changed my life! I am motivated by how you can express yourself with garments. I love how fashion represents time & history.
We would like to thank you for supporting Marlena Evans 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 of my natural curves — they create a beautiful canvas for timeless clothing that flows. I’m drawn to silk, soft colors, and pieces that whisper history while making a statement. Fashion, to me, is a story: every brand I wear has roots and legacy, and I choose items that speak to my own journey. My aesthetic is a blend of class, boldness, and just a hint of sensuality — effortlessly chic with depth and personality.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to walk the steps of the Met Gala, where art and history collide under the flash of the cameras. My second would be to sit front row, watching the vision of Donatella Versace unfold in real time — a masterclass in daring elegance. And if I could turn back time, I would have loved to meet Virgil Abloh, my true fashion icon, whose creativity redefined the language of style for a generation.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d donate 10% to shelters for women with children in Detroit & Miami, invest in my black car service in Miami Beach, and enjoy a shopping 🛍️ spree in the Design District. I’d share it all on social media—style as survival in this economy—while building a studio to inspire women to keep pushing, because blessings always come when you don’t give up.
