    Friday Night Philanthropy

    Charitable Dallas fashion stars bring stylish attention to often-taboo topic

    At the recent — and sold-out — Fashion Stars for a Cause, stylish philanthropists descended on Dallas Country Club to raise funds for the Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas. Event chairman Yvonne Crum and center executive director Margie Wright served as proud hostesses during the event that bravely discusses the often-taboo subject.

    With signature cocktails in hand, guests mingled with this year’s Fashion Stars — Jennifer Fleming, Jamie Fowler, Leah Frazier, Rebecca Hallam, Caroline Harrison, Dr. Naila Malik, Charmaine Marshall, Dawn Mellon, Jessi Moreau, Dawn Neufeld, Melissa Rountree and Cathy Williamson — who then strutted down the runway wearing fashions provided by Belk.

    After the fashion presentation, emcee Suzie Humphreys introduced featured speaker Debbie Murray, whose powerful message centered around hope. The event also served as the debut for Fashion Stars Magazine, an annual publication that celebrates hope and style.

    The evening ended with a surprise musical tribute to honorary chair and Fashion Stars Magazine cover girl Toni Munoz-Hunt. Kyle Hughes sang “For Good,” a tradition for the person who has done the most for the event during that particular year.

    On the way out, attendees — including Caroline Rose Hunt, Dee Wyly, Sue and Pryor Blackwell, Gretchen Henry, Landa and Paul Parker, Laurie Harrison, Margaret Keliher, Terry Bentley Hill, Carolyn Lupton, Vodi Cook, and Laura Reeder — snapped up raffle tickets for prizes such as a dinner for 10 by “Royal Chef” Darren McGrady and a $5,000 Belk gift card. The raffle will be held at Belk Galleria Dallas on May 21.

    Each month, 1,500 people in crisis call the Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas to speak to a trained, caring counselor. Because of funds raised at events like this one, there is always someone available to talk, regardless of the day or time.

    When springtime hits the South, there is plenty to celebrate, from gorgeous weather to The Masters golf tournament, Jazz Fest, the Kentucky Derby, and Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum, just to name a few.

    All that and more found its way onto chic chapeaus and sky-high hats at Mad Hatter's 2025, themed "Celebrating Spring in the South." The epic fundraising luncheon sponsored by the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum assists with the development, growth, and maintenance of A Woman’s Garden, a major garden at the Arboretum.

    The Masters Mavens group won best in show.

    Chair Sara Friedman, honorary chair Cindy Feld, and Women's Council president Therese Rourk welcomed fashionably dressed guests to Ginsburg Plaza at the Dallas Arboretum on April 17, where wine, champagne, and specialty cocktails like mint juleps, bellinis, ranch waters, and the pink-hued Azalea were waiting.

    Kristyn Potter (@acaeventdesigns) captured the flirty, floral fashions with live sketches, while a lively and talented trio comprised of students from Lake Highlands High School Jazz Ensemble kept spirits high.

    The Mad Hatter's extensive silent auction drew plenty of interest, with restaurant gift cards, beauty treatments, jewelry, and travel all on offer.

    Those interested in competing for blue ribbons paraded their expertly crafted millinery before judges Amanda Shufeldt, Anne Stodghill, Ezé Azenabor-Grembowski, Kameron Westcott, Sharon Lee Clark, and John Clutts, before the jazz trio led a vibrant second line into Rosine Hall for the fashion show.

    Presented by NorthPark Center and produced by Jan Strimple, with NBC 5 anchor Laura Harris serving as emcee, the fresh fashions were as light as a spring breeze. Looks were from Etro, Maje, Me + Em, Nordstrom, Sandro, Scanlan Theodore, and St. John, with beauty by Glossier and jewelry from Eiseman Jewels.

    The hat winners then got their own turn on the runway:

    • Dallas Blooms (best use of fresh botanicals): Maryam Brown
    • Kentucky Derby (most elegant): Christine Phelan
    • Mardi Gras (most over-the-top, outrageous creation): Debbie Murray
    • Jazz Fest (best group): Taste of the Masters
    • Round Top (people’s choice): Mandi Bonilla
    • The Masters (best in show): Masters Mavens group

    Guests were then invited to sit down to a lovely lunch of chilled avocado soup and mixed greens topped with sous-vide chicken, marinated tenderloin, and a fried green tomato, all drizzled with peach-hot honey dressing. A Bananas Foster tart proved a sweet ending to a positively enchanting day at the Dallas Arboretum.
