BLACK BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL 2025 – GUEST SPEAKERS & LIVE MUSIC
Australia’s Leading Indigenous Fashion Show, Luncheon, Guest Speakers, Live Music, Women’s Event returns to Brisbane.

Australia’s premier Indigenous fashion, business, and culture event, the Black Bold and Beautiful (BBB) Luncheon, returns on Monday 10 March 2025 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This year’s event will be hosted by Karina Hogan, and features guest speakers Juanita Page, Linda Jackson, Bianca Hunt, Bronwyn Bancroft and Briana Enoch, with live music from Suga Cane Mamas.

First launched in 2009, the event has been driven by founder Aunty Sandra King OAM, featuring guest speakers, fashion parades, food and a unique showcase of Indigenous businesses from across the state, celebrating International Women’s Day and promoting Indigenous communities, culture, business and creativity.

Sandra King was among the country’s first prominent Indigenous fashion models in the 1970s, who went on to establish Sandra King Management modelling agency. Each year Sandra curates the BBB events to provide a forum for Indigenous women and non-Indigenous women to come together and network, invest and inspire each other.

Since BBB began in 2009, the event has engaged with more than 5000 people as participants, volunteers, supporters and attendees – the longevity and continued growth demonstrating the value BBB provides for the community.

The 2025 Black Bold & Beautiful luncheon – themed “Past, Present & Future” - will continue to be a cornerstone in the community, and each year has consistently championed Indigenous women, providing a platform to celebrate their enduring strength and resilience.

Black Bold & Beautiful influences extend beyond the boardroom, with an expo that showcases Indigenous women in their business ventures, embracing the vibrant world of Indigenous fashion, showcasing the innovative designs and traditional craftmanship that enrich our cultural landscape.

Black Bold & Beautiful is an annual standalone national Indigenous women’s luncheon where you can “B Informed, B Inspired, B Empowered”.
