Nelly’s Black and White Ball 2025 transformed the Four Seasons Ballroom into a celebration of glamour, community and giving back, blending high-fashion moments with unforgettable performances and hometown pride. The annual event drew celebrities from music, sports and culture while raising funds for Make-A-Wish Missouri Kansas and Harris-Stowe State University scholarships. From standout black-and-white couture to surprise musical sets and emotional onstage moments—including a wish granted and scholarships awarded—the Ball proved once again that when St. Louis shows up, it does so with purpose.
