The Mielle Organics ‘Beauty Con’ booth at the 30th Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans was a vibrant hub for hair lovers, brimming with creativity and fresh ideas. Founder Monique Rodriguez, a familiar face at Essence Fest, returned in style with an enhanced pop-up experience.
Attendees received tailored beauty advice and enjoyed interactive moments with celebrities showcasing their favorite Mielle Organics products. Monique Rodriguez, who journeyed from registered nurse to CEO, turned heads in standout ensembles, including a black and white polka dot mini dress by Dolce & Gabbana and a bold fuchsia lace look from Bronx & Banco.
Rapper and lyricist Lady London made an appearance, chatting with Fashion Bomb’s Sheek about her ensemble. The stylish New Yorker wore a Dsquared choker, a top by African designer Kwame Adusei, and Rene Caovilla heels.
Singer Letoya Luckett dazzled in a colorful Cynthia Rowley dress and transparent yellow heels. Echoing the festive flair, Fashion Bomb CEO Claire Sulmers wore a nude sequined Staud dress, styled with her signature finger waves, and mingled with Luckett, Lance Gross, and other stars.
