EVENT CO-CHAIRS: Tina & Paul Jones • Chandra & Christopher M Novoa • Bevin & Will Setliff

What to Wear

To embrace the moody and iconic 1940s and 1950s aesthetic, guests are encouraged to dress in monochromatic styles, blacks and whites, sharp suits, fedoras, or dangerously tailored silhouettes designed to bring all the drama of your best femme fatale and Humphrey Bogart style to the red carpet!

And as a bonus, our friends at McLaughlin & Hayes Hat Co. (2250 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.) will donate 10% of all hat sales for this event to Milwaukee Film. Stop by and get a custom, one-of-a-kind fedora or stylish femme fatale hat for the event. No appointment needed!
