Le Gala Event Coming Soon

Local beauty, Gizelle Lee is heading to Paris Fashion Week soon and in the lead-up to her world travels she is hosting a special French-themed event called Le Gala which will be will take place at Boatys on Saturday 17 August

Whitsunday resident Gizelle is just 16 years old and she is hosting this special Le Gala evening to help raise money for her travels and future career path.

At Le Gala guests will be treated to a drink on arrival, canapes, mingling and fun.

Roland Flynn will be hitting the stage and performing until 10pm when DJ in2theam finishes the night.

There will also be a raffle during the evening and businesses around town have been making generous donations to the raffle so there are heaps of great prizes up for grabs.

Gizelle’s mother is helping to organise Le Gala and loves that the community are getting behind her daughter.

“It's been really quite humbling that people just want to help and it's been really nice,” said Linda Lee.

“It has been really exciting for Gizelle too, we are sort of pinching ourselves a little bit.”

Le Gala is a formal cocktail attire event and costs $80 for an adult and $50 for a child.

In Paris Fashion Week Gizelle will be representing Belle Le Chic, a Sunshine Coast based modelling agency.

She has modelled for them before, one of her shoots was used on a billboard in Time Square, New York.

At such a young age she has already hit the ground running, but Paris Fashion Week will only help her develop and learn more.

You can help Gizelle get to Paris by attending her Le Gala.
