The glass slipper may be off, but my pyn is down—let’s get into it.
Hollywood loves a good show, but Maxie J. doesn’t do “good.” She does unforgettable. On September 4th, Avalon in Hollywood transformed into a palace of pearls, champagne, and power as Ellaé Lisqué celebrated 10 years of boss glam… and Maxie’s birthday too.
From the jump, it wasn’t just a fashion show. It was a whole mood board come alive. The unreleased Birthday Collection gave us long, flowy gowns brushing the floor like midnight, sharp blazer sets for women who mean business, oversized sleeves playing peekaboo on mini dresses, and sequins that refused to be ignored. This wasn’t fabric, it was language. And it said: I run my world, but I still sparkle while doing it.
Now, let’s rewind real quick. Before all this? Maxie started Ellaé Lisqué in 2014 with just six dresses online. Straight out of Inglewood, with nothing but hustle and a vision. Fast forward: she’s touched Milan Fashion Week, opened a Downtown LA showroom, and dressed everyone from Saweetie to Summer Walker, Tamar Braxton to Bebe Rexha. That’s not luck, that’s more like legacy in the making.
Back to Avalon: the carpet was its own runway. I chopped it up with Lisa Raye, Christian Combs, Candi’s Grace, Ty Young, The Combs Brothers Sir Joe, Kay Cola. The vibes were A-list. Getty, TMZ, Sheen, Fashion Bomb Daily, Young Bold & Regal, all shoulder-to-shoulder with me, because when Maxie throws down, you show up.
Inside? Luxe and moody. Maxie J didn't just make clothing, she made sure Ellaé Lisqué's 10th anniversary was a top tier experience. The bar only poured Hennessy and white wine (and yes, I turned mixologist for a second—Hennessy + grenadine = the Pynnderella Sidecar 😏). A champagne tower draped in pearls stood like sculpture. Everywhere you looked, it was It Girls only, either strutting down the runway or holding court in the crowd.
And when I say runway… whew. Jessie & D’Lila Combs, Lakeyah, Dreezy, Sky Days, Paloma Guerrero—the star power was endless. Quincy and Justin Combs even popped out to support their sisters.
Then the soundtrack shifted. Chef Boy ripped through his hit “Gang”, repping Compton loud and proud. Which hit different, because Maxie? She’s from the same soil. And the finale—listen—Maxie walked out in a black feathered, ankle-length masterpiece, grabbed the mic, and told the DJ to drop YG’s “I’m From CPT.” She rapped along, feathers swaying, diamonds flashing, and suddenly Avalon felt like a block party on Rosecrans. That was the moment.
This wasn’t just fashion. This was ten years of receipts, ten years of proving herself, ten years of turning pain into pearls and struggle into sequins.
Ellaé Lisqué isn’t just about clothes. It’s about crowning women—sexy, bossy, sophisticated, unstoppable. And last night? Hollywood got the message.
Shoutout to Maxie J and her entire team—10 years down, a lifetime to go.
The culture moves fast, but my pyn is quicker.
