Raquel Laguna/ SUCOPRESS. The 11th Annual Hollywood Beauty Awards transformed the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles into a celebration of artistry, legacy, and community spirit. Founded by Michele Elyzabeth, the ceremony embraced its spring-inspired theme with a mix of emotional tributes, humor, and industry recognition. The night struck a balance between reverence and entertainment. Terrence Howard helped deliver one of the evening’s most powerful moments, presenting a standing-ovation tribute to hairstyling legend Robert L. Stevenson. Meanwhile, Sebastian Maniscalco injected humor into the ceremony with a lively homage to photographer Peggy Sirota. Top talent from across entertainment also took center stage. Da’Vine Joy Randolph honored makeup artist Zabrina Matiru, while Jeremy Allen White presented Groomer of the Year, celebrating top industry talent including Amy Komorowski, Sonia Lee, and KC Fee, with KC Fee taking home the award. The ceremony also highlighted rising talent, with Jurnee Smollett presenting the photography award to Chelsea Lauren, marking a breakthrough moment after multiple nominations. Across categories, emerging voices stood alongside established names, reinforcing the awards’ role as both a celebration of legacy and a platform for the next generation. Beyond the stage, the Hollywood Beauty Awards continued to emphasize purpose. Its ongoing partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center brought rescue animals into the spotlight, weaving philanthropy into the fabric of the event and reminding attendees that beauty can also drive impact. From rising artists to industry icons, the Hollywood Beauty Awards once again proved that behind every iconic look is a team worth celebrating, and a community worth uplifting.

02:12in camera or helps you show up for an event, but I happen to be really lucky because I'm
02:17good friends with the executive producer, Pamela Price, and so she invited me as an actress

02:27and it's really fun.

03:05to Robert Louis Stevenson with Terence Howard, and he's a hair stylist who did a make-up
03:10on a movie I did back in 1992 called The Jackson's and the American Dream. So it's really nice
03:15to honor- he's a good guy, and he deserves it, and he's a funny man, so it'll be nice.
