Missy Elliott stepped off the 2023 ESSENCE Festival of Culture stage on Saturday, July 1, right into a super-exclusive celebration for her 52nd birthday at New Orleans’ Four Seasons hotel.
Hot off the heels of her crowd-rocking headlining set, guests arrived to an immersive futuristic playground complete with a state of art LED-lit tunnel playing the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s iconic music videos, which led revelers into a party room with carefully curated ambiance reflecting the Hip-Hop artist’s unique style, favorite color (purple), and larger than life-size images from her recent Essence Magazine Cover shoot.
Guests were treated to gourmet hors d’oeuvres and toasted the night away with Missy-inspired signature cocktails made with Crown Royal’s newly launched limited-edition Golden Apple Aged 23 Years. The soiree was graciously sponsored by
