Isabella Boylston in ANDREW KWON at the American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala

New York, NY – This evening at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Isabella Boylston graced the 2025 ABT Gala wearing ANDREW KWON — an evening of artistry and reverence honoring Misty Copeland’s final performance with the company — where Boylston will present flowers to Copeland after her final performance with the company in celebration of her extraordinary career.

Boylston, one of the most celebrated ballerinas of our generation, was dressed in a piece from Collection 4: rarefied, a signature tiered tulle gown that captures the ethereal spirit of both ballet and couture. Crafted in layers of soft diamond-white tulle, the gown cascades into sculptural, weightless tiers that move delicately — romantic yet modern — with an asymmetric neckline that frames the shoulders with graceful ease. The architectural construction and fluid volume evoke the elegance of motion that defines both dance and couture.

Boylston, known for her luminous stage presence and her work across both classical and contemporary ballet, has performed leading roles in Swan Lake, Giselle, Romeo and Juliet, and The Sleeping Beauty. Beyond the stage, she continues to champion the artistry and accessibility of ballet, inspiring audiences around the world with her authenticity and expressive power.

Tonight’s gala serves as a celebration of the enduring spirit of dance and the artists who bring it to life — an evening where Isabella’s grace and Andrew’s artistry reflect the shared language of motion, emotion, and modern elegance.
