The runway lights are off, but the impact is just beginning.

Together, our community raised $175,000 through Couture by the Shore 2026. 🎉

All in support of

That number is worth celebrating, but what matters even more is what it enables: real support for local families facing some of life’s hardest moments. Your generosity will have a major impact on 58 different families in our community.

To everyone who supported this event: THANK YOU.

Couture by the Shore has always been about more than a runway show. It’s about neighbors showing up for neighbors. It’s about creating something beautiful that makes a meaningful difference right here at home.

Because of you, families across the Outer Banks will have a place to turn when they need it most. You are helping provide stability, dignity, and hope.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and inspired by what this community can accomplish when it comes together.❤️

Who’s ready for 2027!?

We want to thank our retailers for all they do to bring Couture by the Shore to life 💗

Without these local shops, this event wouldn’t be possible, and we wouldn’t be able to make such an incredible impact in our community.

They contribute so much to the OBX and we are grateful for each and every one of them!
