There’s just something about Grover Rad that hits different. Their pieces always feel like they were made with you in mind—like they’ve unlocked a bolder, more daring version of you. But Collection 007: Venus Envy? It’s on another level. I’m obsessed. This might be their best yet.
This collection is about real, raw feminine energy—strength, sensuality, softness, and rage—all existing at once. It’s inspired by women who refused to be quiet or small. Like Sappho, the ancient Greek poet who wrote about desire and love between women when no one else dared to. Or Susanna, who stood her ground against false accusations in a story that feels way too familiar even now. And Medusa— the woman who was punished for her trauma and became a symbol of power and fury. Grover took their stories and made them wearable. Check out my favorite pieces in this reel.
The prints are stunning—actual art—etched with vintage illustrations, oil paintings, and feminine forms that feel both historical and fresh. Every piece makes a statement without even trying. It’s fashion, but it’s also feeling. Something you step into when you want to show up fully as yourself.
Grover’s always made clothes that make you feel seen. But with the Venus Envy collection, it feels like she’s handing the mic back to every woman who ever felt dismissed or misunderstood. And I love her for that.
I’ve been wearing Grover since the beginning, and watching them evolve as a brand has been such a joy. Beyond the collections, what makes Grover so special to me is the heart Lizzie and her team puts into everything—especially the two custom looks they created for my wedding.
My welcome dinner look at San Ysidro Ranch featured a still-life print of pomegranates and fruit, taken from a painting by Abraham Breughel. Lizzie brought me the painting because the color palette reminded her of me, which says everything about how intentional she is. The pomegranate, in Armenian culture, is a symbol of good fortune and fertility—so having that woven into my look felt like wearing a blessing. I had always planned to have pomegranates incorporated into the tablescape at our welcome dinner, so when Lizzie showed me that painting, it just made sense. It was already part of the story—I just didn’t know it yet. I also didn’t want to wear a white gown to the ranch. The vibe felt more rustic and edgy, and I wanted my look to reflect that laid-back elegance, while still feeling special and personal.
The look I wore to my welcome party, which we held at a beautiful private home in Montecito, was inspired by my grandfather, who worked as a tailor for Bob Mackie—Cher’s longtime costume designer—for 30 years. Growing up, Cher was always an icon in our family, and choosing her as the inspiration felt like a tribute to both her glam and my grandfather’s legacy. The look itself was a blend of Cher’s bold, timeless style with 18th-century daraz (traditional Armenian clothing), and an Arabic motif in the custom fabric. The corset and sash gave it that daraz feel, while the overall design stayed true to Cher’s iconic, unapologetic energy. The intricate details and the motif added another layer of depth and cultural richness.

I’m beyond grateful to work with Grover and Lizzie. They put so much thought and heart into every piece, and being part of this journey with them has been such a gift. I can’t wait to see what they do next—because whatever it is, I know it’ll be just as incredible.
