Last night, the Royal House of LaBeija made an unforgettable entrance at the 2025 ACE Awards, hosted by the Accessories Council to honor the bold, the innovative, and the iconic in fashion and design. Our presence was not just seen—it was felt. From head to toe, the LaBeijas radiated regal energy, reminding everyone in the room what it looks like when history, style, and purpose walk hand in hand.

‍

More than a ballroom house, LaBeija is a cultural force—a trendsetting institution that has shaped fashion, beauty, and creative expression for decades. Our influence stretches far beyond the ballroom floor. From the runways of Paris to the streets of Harlem, from editorial campaigns to pop culture’s biggest moments, the House of LaBeija has long dictated what’s next. And yet, too often, our contributions go uncredited or overlooked.

Last night was a reminder: we are not just part of the conversation—we start the conversation.

Our members stepped out in custom looks that fused tradition with daring innovation—honoring the visionary spirit of Crystal LaBeija, the house’s founder and one of the architects of ballroom culture. Each detail, from silhouette to stone, carried with it a legacy of resistance, resilience, and reinvention.

We thank the Accessories Council for opening its doors to a house that has always turned thresholds into stages. In doing so, they made space not just for style—but for substance, storytelling, and sovereignty.

To walk in our truth with grace and glamour is the ultimate accessory.

Forever Royal,
The Royal House of LaBeija
