Head to Toe. Hair Spectacular. Beauty and Face. Move to the Groove. Show Stoppers. Battle of the Legendary Houses.

These are the six categories performers will compete in at Love Ball III on June 25, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Head to Toe is the night’s self-made couture runway category, while Hair Spectacular brings together renowned hair stylists to push the art form. Beauty and Face, sponsored by M∙A∙C Cosmetics, is to bring illusion through make-up, while Move to the Groove is all about dance. Speaking of movement, Show Stoppers is a celebration of performance art, while Battle of the Legendary Houses is exactly what the category’s name promises – a showcase of what the most iconic houses are best known for.

The competition will be brought to life by the performers—including Alex Mugler, Alice Farley, Dashaun Leiomy, Jonte Damone, Julie Atlas Muz, Linux, McKittrick Hotel, Milk, Orlando, Harper Watters, Peppermint, Ruby Fox, Ryan Burke, Sasha Velour, Serge Normant, Trocadero Ballet, and Wardements, as well as members from the House of Xtravaganza, Mizrahi, Mugler, Balenciaga, Ebony, and LaBeija.

The winners are chosen by Love Ball III judges – among them Dita von Teese, Andre Leon Talley, Marc Jacobs & Char Defrancesco, David & Phillipe Blond, Janet Mock, Kevin Aviance, Christian Siriano, Nicky Hilton-Rothschild, Miss Lawrence, Jack Mizrahi, Patrick Starrr and Teyana Taylor. Billy Porter will serve as the ball’s Master of Ceremonies.

Love Ball III is made possible by the generous support of corporate sponsors including M∙A∙C Cosmetics, Lyft and SKYY® Vodka. Purchase your tickets here!
