Last night, our team stepped into a world that Paris Is Burning first brought to the screens over three decades ago: A ballroom event celebrating pride hosted by Levi’s x Reference Studios. Ballroom culture has always been about reclaiming power, being seen, crowned, and celebrated on your own terms. And our TO WATCH feature of the week captures exactly this.

Released in 1990, Paris Is Burning is more than a documentary; it’s an electrifying snapshot of New York’s 1980s drag balls, where Black and Latinx queer communities carved out spaces of freedom, self-expression, and chosen family in defiance of mainstream rejection. Watching voguers spin, duckwalk, and pose under neon lights last night felt like a living echo of that legacy. From Paris Is Burning to the stage we cheered for yesterday, the spirit endures: resilience wrapped in glitter, survival turned into art, and Pride that moves to a beat all its own.
