Dress code · Business chic / cocktail
What to wear
Think rooftop after dark: polished, playful, and a little pink. Dresses are absolutely invited — in fact, we encourage them. Here are looks from last year's pink carpet that still work, plus a fresh business-chic option for the room.
The Elegant Statement
A pleated pink midi that photographs beautifully and feels elegant without trying too hard. One of last year's pink-carpet wins.
The Olive Hour
Rich color, clean lines, and a silhouette that works from the rooftop welcome through the last conversation.
The Business Chic Suit
A real example from last year's pink carpet: confident color, sharp tailoring, and personality. Business chic doesn't have to mean boring.
Then we do it all again Monday.
The reception is the warm-up. Summit Day at The Maison Project is the main event — three stages, all-day recruiting, and 600 women of color in sales.
