Claire’s Life: What to Wear to Give a Keynote or Speak at a Conference + Recap of Flourish Media Conference

Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells!

This past weekend, I was the keynote speaker at the Flourish Media Conference!

Geared towards entrepreneurs, the conference comprises a day full or panels, speeches, and concludes with a pitching contest where companies can pitch to potential investors. It was the bomb!

For the occasion, I wore a new tulle tuxedo suit by Oyemwen! It was a hit. And it got me to thinking about what to wear to speak or keynote an event! Read on for tips:

  1. When in doubt, wear a suit.

There’s nothing I love more than a suit when speaking at an event. A suit is authoritative and says you mean business! Have fun with colors and fabrications. To stay on the safe side, stay away from busy prints as they might be distracting.

Shop some bomb suits below:

2. Dresses are great, just make sure they pass the fingertip test.

One time I wore a thigh length dress to speak at an event, and I had to wear a prayer cloth the whole time. Don’t let that be you! Wear a great fitting dress in a solid color, preferably knee length.

3. If you wear a skirt, same rule applies

Pencil skirts are my favorite. If you wear a printed skirt, anchoring with a button down works. When in doubt, wear white.

4. Wear comfortable shoes

If you are standing during your speech, you don’t want to be thrown off by pinched toes! You want to feel comfortable and confident so that you can focus on the task at hand.

Some of my most comfortable shoes are from Stuart Weitzman, Gianvito Rossi, and Manolo Blahnik:

That does it! Do you have anything to add?

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
