Editor-in-Chief, Bridgette West presented Charlotte’s 25 Most Stylish in fashion and beauty, philanthropy, business, and entertainment and social networking. Following their introductions Charlotte Style Magazine’s 25 Most Stylish cover was unveiled.

Among the honorees was interior designer, Rashon Carraway, also known as Mr. Goodwill Hunting from the Nate Berkus Show. “To be recognized among so many amazing people in Charlotte is truly a blessing,” he said. He considers it a true honor to receive this opportunity and is equally thrilled that the Charlotte STYLE gives back to the community. “I think holding events to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte is an amazing cause to support so I am thoroughly excited to be a part of that effort,” he said.

Shelby Christie, one of the night’s honorees and “Bronze bombShel” blogger, said she was thrilled to be considered one of Charlotte’s most stylish. She is a lover of over-the-top fashion and is inspired by Diana Ross. “I’m an old soul and I consider myself a bit of a disco queen,” she said. In addition to writing her blog (bronzebombshel.tumblr.com) Christie is a full time student studying history at North Carolina A&T University.
