The Black TieChandelier Gala

Dear Friend,

Welcome. I am so grateful that you are here.

My name is Dr. Bea Foster, Ph.D., and for more than fifty years I have lived in the world of design, fashion, beauty, and transformation. I have dressed windows and rooms, walked runways, mentored women and men, and created spaces that make people feel seen, elegant, and at home.

Today, my work has grown into something even deeper.

The Black Tie Chandelier Gala and the programs connected to it were born from both great love and great loss. After losing two precious granddaughters to cancer, I knew I had to find a way to keep their memory alive and to turn my pain into purpose. On the wings of those two little butterflies, I chose to move forward—to help others feel good about themselves again, to strengthen the weak, and to encourage healing, hope, and new beginnings.

This space—this website, this Gala, these courses—is part of that promise.

“The sky is the limit—all you have to do is reach for it. Your path has been cleared, the mountains have been moved, the door has been opened. All you have to do is walk through with a smile, grace, elegance, and determination.”

If you are ready to upgrade your sense of style, renew your confidence, or simply step into a room—and into your life—with more grace and assurance, you are in the right place and the right time.

Together with my right hand, Dr. Mellinda DePriest, and a growing circle of supporters, we are here to direct you, guide you, inspire you, and encourage you in every way we can.

Thank you for visiting, for believing in what we are building, and for helping keep my granddaughters’ memory alive as we work to bring comfort, confidence, and change to others.
