Sophisticated with a dash of swagger—these local trendsetters prove that style is indeed a state of mind. Palm Beach style mavens Bettina Anderson, Grace Walker, and Chloé Lazard gathered together at the VIP penthouse at Marissa Collections at Royal Poinciana Plaza to pick out their favorite looks for the season and share their tips for going glam on the island.
Exuding a distinct style and grace, Bettina Anderson is a third-generation Palm Beach native and a Columbia University graduate. Passionate about community service, Bettina co-founded The Paradise Fund, volunteers weekly with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County and serves on the committee for the United Way Palm Beach and Hope for Depression Research Foundation.
