Hello I am Stephanie and I am passionate about lgbtq+ rights. As a trans woman I know how difficult it is to navigate being who you are.
We would like to thank you for supporting Stephanie Salamone 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 don’t allow societal expectations to limit my expression. I am unapologetically myself. I wish for others to embrace themselves this way also!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to attend Milan Fashion Week 2026. I have always dreamed of an opportunity like this. Models like Alex Consani pave the way for younger trans women like myself!
What would you do with $20,000?
I would donate a portion of it to a fund in support of Black Trans Women. I live in Florida where rules/restrictions on being trans are on the rise. I’d love to also use the $20,000 to pay for my college tuition. I am a cosmetology student and I would love to expand my knowledge with this fund!
