About this Event
Welcome to The Black Dress Event 2026!
The Black Dress Event 2026
Every Woman Has a Sound
Join Asher Legacy Group for the 5th Annual Black Dress Event, an elegant afternoon celebrating the strength, beauty, style, stories, and extraordinary journeys of women.
This year's experience introduces the Black Diamond Awards, honoring eight remarkable women whose lives reflect the distinct qualities of a diamond. Through pressure, transition, loss, reinvention, and new beginnings, each woman demonstrates what can be revealed when we find the courage to keep moving forward.
Our 2026 Black Diamond distinctions include:
💎 Prism • Clarity • Grace Under Pressure • Fortitude • Fire • Facets • Precision • Brilliance
Guests will enjoy an elevated brunch experience filled with sisterhood, inspiration, style, celebration, and special guest entertainment, along with a special presentation of “Every Woman Has a Sound.”
💜 Our Celebration Has a Cause
As we honor women who have found their strength, we recognize that there are women in our community who are still fighting to find theirs.
This year's Black Dress Event will bring special attention to domestic violence awareness and support. A portion of every ticket sold will support our domestic violence cause, allowing this celebration to make an impact beyond the walls of the event.
Because every woman deserves to live safely.
Every woman deserves to be heard.
And Every Woman Has a Sound.™
