GLAAD PRESIDENT & CEO SARAH KATE ELLIS WILL SHOW ALLYSHIP FOR TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY IN CUSTOM CHRISTIAN SIRIANO FEATURING COLORS OF THE TRANSGENDER FLAG AT TIME100 GALA
Ellis is featured on the TIME100 list of the most influential people of 2023
LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD is excited to share fashion credits for Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD’s president & CEO, during her appearance at tonight’s TIME100TIME100 Gala. Ellis was named to the 2023 TIME100, TIME’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
As seen in the sketch below, Ellis will show her allyship for transgender people in a custom suit and pant ensemble by Christian Siriano which incorporates the colors of the transgender flag, light blue, light pink and white.
“Allies to transgender people need to be vocal, visible, and to call out extremists and media figures who are working overtime to harm transgender people and spread lies about who they are,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “As a woman and a mom, I believe every young person, including transgender youth, should be able to grow up knowing that they’ll be treated fairly and equally.”
“Working with Sarah Kate for this event was an honor. We wanted a look that was powerful and strong, but still elegant, so we created a gorgeous custom suit honoring the trans flag, which features white, pink, and blue. It’s a power suit with meaning,” said designer Christian Siriano.
Yesterday, Ellis spoke at the TIME100 Summit alongside iconic labor leader and civil rights advocate Dolores Huerta during a panel entitled ‘How to Build a Movement’ moderated by CNN”s Abby Phillip. Other LGBTQ leaders who appear on the TIME100 list this year include: Brittney Griner, Imara Jones, Sam Altman, Thom Browne, Jerrod Carmichael, Steve Lacy, Aubrey Plaza and Wolfgang Tillmans.
