We are still over the moon reflecting on yesterday’s magnificent 2026 Mad Hatters Luncheon & Fashion Show ✨🚀

Held at the beautiful Crowne Plaza, the afternoon brought together over 30 incredible sponsors and 400 guests, all dressed in dazzling galaxy-inspired garments, celestial hats, and truly out of this world style.

Guests enjoyed a gourmet lunch followed by a stunning runway presentation featuring the best of spring fashion from some of our favorite boutiques — Chatterbox, Luca, Hemline (Towne Center), and Emily Katherine. Our gorgeous models absolutely shined, gracefully bringing each look to life and adding such beauty and energy to the show.

We were honored to be accompanied by the talented Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra, led by Director Marshall Carby and Maestro Adam Johnson, creating an elegant and unforgettable musical backdrop.

Our auction was absolutely astronomical 🌟— with items that had everyone orbiting the bidding tables — and the energy in the room was simply cosmic.

The afternoon was a beautiful celebration of friends, fashion, and meaningful connection, as we proudly honored our extraordinary chair, Donna McNeill — truly the most radiant “astronaut” in the room. Our Chair Gunjan Raina and Co-Chair Casey Hicks outshined all expectations, alongside our League President Bridgette Coleman and our entire steering committee, who planned every detail to perfection. A special thank you to our incredible decorator, Matt Deville, whose vision brought this out of this world experience to life so beautifully.

Cheers to an unforgettable event, to all who attended and supported, and to continuing our mission of uplifting the arts in our community.

✨ Until next year… we can’t wait to launch again!!!

✨ Spotlight on Judith Vitanza-Kattan ✨

Baton Rouge author Judith Vitanza-Kattan is not only a gifted storyteller, but a true champion of the arts and her community.

Author with Heart

Judith is the author of Light and Shadow’s Dreamy Adventures, a beautifully written children’s book inspired by her father’s legacy. Through imaginative storytelling, she brings forward themes of love, kindness, and emotional connection, creating a meaningful experience for both children and families.

A Legacy of Giving

Beyond her creative work, Judith’s impact reaches far into the Baton Rouge community.

In an extraordinary act of generosity, she made a $20,000 donation to support the Baton Rouge Symphony League’s Mad Hatters Luncheon, Fashion Show, and Silent Auction, as well as her donation of $1000 to shop her jewelry company LUNA WHITE —directly benefiting the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra and its mission to enrich lives through music and arts education.

Her contribution is not just financial—it’s transformational. It helps ensure that music, culture, and artistic expression continue to thrive for future generations in our community.

Champion of the Arts

Judith’s support reflects a deep belief in the power of the arts to inspire, connect, and uplift. Through both her writing and philanthropy, she embodies the very spirit of creativity and community that the Mad Hatters event celebrates each year.

A Lasting Impact

Whether through the pages of her book or her incredible generosity, Judith Vitanza-Kattan is leaving a lasting imprint on Baton Rouge—one rooted in compassion, creativity, and giving

Her generosity helps us continue our mission of bringing music, education, and culture to our community—and we are beyond grateful to celebrate her as part of this year’s unforgettable event.

This is what it means to show up for the arts. 💫
