Race week just got a major glow up. đŸ–€

This June 11, the city’s most exclusive red carpet affair, La Rosa Nera, is officially kicking off the celebrations with none other than THE Niki Taylor. Yes, that Niki Taylor, the only person on the planet to ever grace the covers of Vogue, Allure, Elle, Marie Claire, Shape and Self. The media didn’t just take note, they named it: The Niki Six. Iconic behaviour only.


Niki Taylor

If you were flipping magazines in the ’90s (or just born with good taste), you know she was the face of American beauty. At 17 years old, Niki signed a historic multimillion-dollar contract with CoverGirl, breaking records and landing a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Brands? Obsessed. Over $1 billion has been spent on ad campaigns using her image. That’s billionaire energy.

Why Is She in Montreal?

Niki’s here for a high-fashion photoshoot with her brand UP! Pants and lucky for us, she’s also dropping in as guest of honour at La Rosa Nera’s invite-only soirĂ©e happening at Palma* in Griffintown. The event’s hotter than F1 tires, it’s already booked solid. 


What’s Happening at La Rosa Nera?

Oh, just your typical Tuesday night:

✹ Runway debut of Angie Larocque’s latest collection, fresh from Paris Fashion Week
