Camila Cabello, Janelle Monáe, and John Summit Attend NYLON House Presented by e.l.f. Cosmetics at Miami Art Week

Miami Art Week has always been synonymous with cultural cachet, but when NYLON House rolls into town, it elevates the city’s nightlife to a whole new echelon. This year's highly anticipated event (celebrating the release of the first NYLON Nights issue) was no exception, blending the worlds of music, fashion, and modern art into a single, dazzling night. Headlining the event was none other than three-time Grammy winner Ludacris, who brought the house down with a live performance presented by Movado.

But the A-list didn’t end there. Chart-topping sensation Camila Cabello graced the event as NYLON’s latest cover star, while visionary artist Janelle Monáe and global house music phenom John Summit added their star power to the night. The result? A scene-stealing soirée that left attendees captivated from the first beat to the final encore.

With e.l.f. Cosmetics as the presenting sponsor, the evening wasn’t just about the music — it was a full sensory experience. Guests were invited to indulge in e.l.f.'s immersive beauty activations inspired by its newly released “Get Ready With Music: The Album.” This experiential fusion of music and beauty offered attendees complimentary touch-ups, glam photo opportunities, and a chance to discover the latest in clean, vegan beauty products. And for those not in attendance, e.l.f. live-streamed the action on its Twitch channel, ensuring no one had to miss out on the magic.

Meanwhile, Casamigos served up their signature cocktails, ensuring that every sip was as curated as the art on the walls. Guests also savored the culinary craft of Caracas Bakery, indulging in Venezuelan-style cachitos and buttery danishes — an elevated culinary touch befitting the night’s luxury aesthetic.

When Ludacris hit the stage, the crowd's energy reached a fever pitch. Known for his dynamic stage presence and timeless hits, the legendary rapper delivered a powerhouse performance that proved why he remains one of hip-hop’s most enduring icons. “I'm honored to be performing on behalf of Movado at NYLON’s annual bash. There is no better time to experience art and music in Miami,” Ludacris shared, setting the tone for a night brimming with style and swagger.

With Movado as the presenting partner, the luxury watchmaker’s commitment to supporting the performing arts was on full display. The brand, which has a storied legacy of championing innovation and design, reinforced its ties to the world of music and culture. The sleek sophistication of Movado's signature timepieces felt perfectly in sync with the glitz and glamour of the evening.

No Miami Art Week event would be complete without an impressive guest list, and NYLON House delivered. In addition to Camila Cabello and Janelle Monáe, the red carpet saw appearances from an eclectic mix of tastemakers, artists, and industry insiders. Notable attendees included supermodel Chanel Iman, house music maestro John Summit, and former O.C. star Mischa Barton. The crowd also included cultural heavyweights like Tinx, Taylor Fritz, Dale Moss, Nigel Xavier, Food God, and Patrick Ta, turning NYLON House into a who’s who of Miami’s most exclusive week of the year.

While the star-studded guest list was a spectacle in itself, the real magic happened on the dance floor, where VIPs mingled with artists, creatives, and global tastemakers. The palpable energy of the night made it clear that NYLON House had once again claimed its place as one of the most exclusive and unmissable events of Miami Art Week.

e.l.f. Cosmetics' influence was felt in every corner of the venue. From glamorous beauty touch-ups to interactive displays, e.l.f. transformed the space into a playground of self-expression. As a brand known for disrupting beauty norms, it was only fitting that e.l.f. aligned with a celebration like NYLON House, where the unconventional thrives. The brand’s emphasis on accessibility and inclusivity perfectly mirrored the event’s ethos of creativity and individuality.

Not to be outdone, Movado added a refined sense of craftsmanship to the night. As a longtime supporter of the arts, Movado's legacy of sleek design and innovation was ever-present. Their involvement wasn’t just symbolic — it was experiential. The artistry of their timepieces paralleled the night’s larger themes of time, rhythm, and movement, reinforcing the idea that luxury and culture go hand in hand.

Also on hand to amplify the experience was Diesel, whose D RED EDP fragrance became the signature scent of the night. Known for its bold, audacious approach to personal expression, the fragrance captured the spirit of the evening — edgy, uninhibited, and electric. Each spray of D RED transported guests deeper into the celebration, with aromatic notes that matched the intensity of the beats.

There’s a reason why NYLON House has become the definitive kick-off for Miami Art Week. It’s not just another party — it’s a convergence of artistic excellence, musical mastery, and unfiltered creativity. This year, that essence was embodied by the harmonious blend of Camila Cabello’s star power, Ludacris’ show-stopping performance, and Janelle Monáe’s iconic presence.

With every year, the bar gets raised higher — and NYLON House continues to clear it. For those lucky enough to attend, it was a night of chic sophistication, unforgettable beats, and endless photo opportunities. For those watching from afar? The live-streamed experience on e.l.f.’s Twitch channel ensured that the magic of the night could be felt worldwide.

If there’s one takeaway from NYLON House 2024, it’s this: luxury isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about experience. It’s about bringing people together to revel in the extraordinary, surrounded by art, music, and a crowd that appreciates the finer things in life. From the pulsating beats of HUGEL’s DJ set to the glamorous glow-ups courtesy of e.l.f. Cosmetics, every moment felt like a snapshot of Miami’s iconic energy.

With a guest list that reads like a Hollywood credits reel, a headliner as iconic as Ludacris, and brand partners like Movado and e.l.f. Cosmetics steering the ship, NYLON House wasn’t just an event — it was an emblem of what happens when creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural coolness collide. And for those looking to relive it? Keep an eye on NYLON’s broadsheet and social channels — the party might be over, but its impact is still resonating.

Missed it? Don't worry. Art Week may have wrapped, but the inspiration lives on — and NYLON House will be back, bigger and bolder than ever.
