Mother-Daughter Style Show and Luncheon

Each fall, Duchesne hosts the Mother-Daughter Style Show and Luncheon to honor the graduating class of seniors. Held in a large hotel ballroom, this lovely event includes a runway fashion show featuring Duchesne seniors as models.

This year, each girl in the senior class will take two turns walking down the runway modeling two different looks from our fashion show partner, Tootsies.  

In addition to modeling, each senior girl walks down the runway after the style show while a tribute that she wrote to her mother is read aloud. It is a heartwarming moment culminating with a mother and daughter hug at the end of the runway. 

In order to comply with CDC recommendations, seating is limited for this year's event.  The senior class receives priority in making table reservations.  Any remaining tables will be offered to Upper School families followed by Middle and Lower School until the ballroom is full.   

Space is very limited this year, so when tables open for purchase, it is best to get your reservation in as soon as possible.

Each table at the event can accommodate up to 10 guests. If you don't have a group of 10 in your reservation you may purchase a table for 8 or a table for 6.  

All guests will be served an appetizer plate to enjoy during the style show. A regular adult meal will be offered and an optional vegetarian meal is available. A children’s meal is also offered which includes a full serving of chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and a fruit cup. Dessert is also included for every guest. 

Anything appropriate for church is acceptable. Dressy, but not dress up! 

The event is held at the Royal Sonesta Hotel located at 2222 West Loop South between San Felipe and Westheimer. Signs will direct you from the lobby to the ballroom, which is located on the main floor. 

The hotel offers valet parking as well as self-parking in an adjoining garage. Valet parking is $15 and self-parking is $8 for our event. 

The doors open at 10:30 a.m. for photos and mingling. The style show begins promptly at 11:00 a.m., followed by the luncheon. 

A photographer will offer mother-daughter portraits beginning at noon. Cash, checks or credit cards will be accepted. Group shots with friends are welcome. Candid shots will be taken during the luncheon and posted online for purchase after the event. 

A flash drive recording of the style show video is available for $35. To place an order, visit the sales table at the event. The flash drives will be sent home via backpack mail with your daughter or mailed to your home in the 2 weeks following the event.
