“What I think about myself is, my inner voice has to be the loudest voice in the room. “How I feel about me has to be the alpha, the omega. I cannot allow words written about me or other people’s perceptions of me control the way that I operate. I give myself permission to change my mind. I give myself permission to change my thoughts. I have autonomy.” — Janelle Monae

2. Fashion Month Comes to an End with a Star-studded Versace Fashion Show
Versace opted for a celebrity-heavy city to show its Fall Winter ’23 collection in, and local and far-flung A listers alike rewarded the brand for that choice. Speaking of stellar names, Donatella’s runway casting also blew every other label out of the water this season, by sending the likes of Gigi Hadid, Stella Maxwell, Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk, Naomi Campbell, Imaan Hammam, Liu Wen, and Emily Ratajkoski down the runway.
