Empowering women, accepting diversity, and celebrating their unique talents and beauty is a non-stop struggle in today's modern world. The modern woman today is strong, confident, and self-aware. She makes her own choices regarding her life, including how she looks and what she wears. The truest representation that defines that your own standard of beauty and fashion can go a long way is this year's Miss Black Ca 2022 – Autumn Rae. Placing 12th in nationals, this young queen is a true refresher on the fashion and beauty scene, carrying with herself a strong and powerful message. 

As a brand that supports body positivity, diversity, and acceptance, Poetic Justice Jeans teamed up with Miss Black Ca for an event in Malibu where she was more than delighted and excited to wear some of the brand's garments. Comfortable in her own skin as well as full of self-confidence and radiance, Miss Black proved that clothes are truly an addition to your personality, how you feel and that you should wear what you like.

On those terms, we are sharing with you some of the best Miss Black Ca- inspired styles that you can find at Poetic Justice Jeans. Fit for a Queen – because everyone deserves to feel like a queen. 

For the above-mentioned event, Miss Black Ca walked among the visitors with Poetic Justice Harmony Women’s Kimono Sleeves Cut Out Waist Split Side Mini Dress. This is the type of dress that perfectly flatters the curve and follows the line of the silhouette. Both sexy and subtle, the strongest details are the side cutouts that deliver some skin. The length is excellent – just above the knees, whereas the sleeves are perfect for adding an elegant look. 

Another pretty interesting look, this time in the contrasting white color was Treshaune Sleeveless Collared Jumpsuit in white. This comfortable garment is a quick and easy choice for upgrading a look. It works for both day and night, and in the case of Black Miss CA – with a tiara too. The collar adds a bit of sporty style, which is great for all those willing to play with different styles. 

Being confident in your skin will instantly reflect on the clothes you wear. Let Miss Black Ca be the inspiration to all of you who are looking to make a wardrobe and style makeover.
