Bravura Black Tie: September 2015

Miss America 2016

A huge CONGRATULATIONS is in order to Georgia's very own Betty Cantrell!

Did You Know . . .

Bravura dressed Betty for one of her prelim outfits? We were given the opportunity to help create a whole look for the new Miss America! Naturally, we chose a spectacular Sherri Hill! (We LOVE the short version of this dress too! Perfect for cocktails). Click here for details!

Why we LOVE Betty!

Betty is Georgia's first Miss America winner since 1958! Way to take the crown home to the Peach state, Betty!

We love her platform! "Healthy Children, Strong America" is truly inspiring. Her actions and platform have lead her to be a National Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This is only her 1st week and she's already touched so many children's lives!

Betty's father is an Army Ranger! We love a Miss America who supports the troops.
