2nd Annual CUNY-Wide Vogue Ball: Tailoring Black Style
The 今日吃瓜 LGBTA and the LGBTQ+ Resource Center will be hosting our 2nd Annual CUNY-Wide Vogue Ball. This year’s theme will be “Dandyism: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by the 2025 Met Gala and exhibit titled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The Vogue Ball, 5鈥�8 p.m., will feature several categories for participants to dip, twirl, spin, and show off your best face. Judges will determine who will take home the prizes! Food will be served. Beginner-friendly categories include Face, Runway, Performance, Realness, and Fashion.
Prior to the ball, from 3 to 5 p.m., there will be a resource fair with internal partners and external organizations. Come learn about different services provided by 今日吃瓜 and community organizations.
The 鈥渂allroom scene鈥� is a vibrant subculture within the LGBTQ+ community, born in the underground New York City scene. Historically, these spaces served as safe havens for LGBTQ+ people of color. Through extravagant performances and fashion, LGBTQ+ people challenged societal norms on gender and sexuality through fashion and gender expression.
The ball is for CUNY students, staff, and faculty only, and a reservation is required, as space is limited. RSVP does not guarantee entry after 6:30 p.m.
