ANGELS!!
Believe it or not, Beaút is about to become a 2-year-old cherub. Time really flies, huh?
We are celebrating our 2nd Anniversary in 2 weeks for Dark Beaút!
Our birthday is always a time to reflect on what’s been, and celebrating all of our Beaúties by doing something extra special to return our love for the support you give that fills up the heart of what has become known to us today as The Beaút Xxxperience. But what measure of love could we pull from our hat to equal what you babies have brought us?
We might start with the following story…
A little-known LEGEND about Beaút was that we once gave away a car to the winners of the walk-off at our 3rd ever party. Back then, we were a fledgling little thing, trying to drum up a home for the community of creatives, inspiring individuals and charismatic characters that we wanted to celebrate - on a Sunday night. The OGs who came then witnessed the LEGEND and the winners went home with a black 1989 Honda Prelude with pop up headlights after giving a walk so iconic that we wish you were all there to see it… buuuuut you kinda had to be there as our words won’t do it justice.
When looking back at the two years that’s been, we wanted to pay tribute to some of our most iconic memories, reviving the old and writing the very best moments into the new chapter that is the Beaút that we know today.
SO, for our birthday WE ARE GIVING AWAY ANOTHER CAR to the winners of the birthday walk-off!
Yep, we're reviving the old Honda (Prelude) LEGEND to relive it and create a new one by literally giving away a Honda LEGEND.
We feel it’s high time to raise the stakes and bring back the avant-garde, concept-driven walks that we once witnessed. The prize on the line is the slickest lil 1988 HONDA LEGEND, a luxury sports car that drives real cute with leather interiors, sunroof and d-lish detailing throughout. Mama and Papa Beaút searched long and hard for the perfect whip, and we could not have done a cuter job with this one. Well worth the wait.
We welcome you to get together an unforgettable look and walk-OFF to win this car. Think reveals upon reveals upon reveals for a walk-off that will see you drive home in the Honda Legend. Thankfully, the new season of RuPaul’s drag race is out for some fresh inspo, huh?
The second thing we wanted to celebrate is our history of launching fashion labels - something that has taken a seat for the recent introduction of Beaút Live.
We are kicking off our party with the launch of Wearable Art by Sapphire, a passion project by an extremely talented and beautiful soul. Each look is a work of wearable art, and this show will be the first that we present in the realm of couture. We can’t wait to show this one, and for you to see the concept for this launch. It will be a spectacular event!
Oh yeah, there will also be some incredible performances from some of our local favourites (but more on that later).
Basically nothing but muchness and the very best for this instalment of Beaút. We couldn’t celebrate us without giving back to you - and everything always in the spirit of excess.
We are so so so excited about this!
This event will be ticketed with limited early bird tickets at $20, so get in fast babies.
With undying gratitude and infinite love, we so look forward to seeing you at our Birthday Ball. It will be an extravaganza not to be missed.
Love forever, and see you s(w)oon.

DARK BEAÚT is: An exploration of our dark side. It's the shadows that pervade your brain dying to get some light and the darkness that is just so damn pleasurable when released.
There's no light without darkness, and we love the depth of beaúty that holds. And this is how our parties cycle: light/ dark/ light/ dark...and so forth.
Check our Insta feed for your Dark Beaút inspo. It will be full blown Dark Beaút vibes this month. No holding back. @beautclub
As always, we're dedicated to providing that space for you to dress up, get down and dance with us 'til dawn. BEAÚT is committed to tricking up our party to take you on a journey of abandon and sensory overload.
