Snapshots of Nelly’s 2025 Black and White Ball were taken by designer Brandin Vaughn for The St. Louis American. The annual gala held at the Four Seasons Hotel on Sunday, December 14, in downtown St. Louis brought together community leaders, artists, and supporters for an elegant night of celebration and giving. Proceeds from the evening benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Harris-Stowe State University, continuing the ball’s tradition of philanthropy and impact. Photos by Brandin Vaughn.
