Ballroom culture is evolving and gaining more recognition in mainstream media than ever seen before. 

The Return of Porcelain Ball will mark the 30th anniversary of the House of Miyake-Mugler. The current father of the house, Yusef Miyake-Mugler, has been Bad Gal RiRi’s hair stylist for years. 

This will be the first time a $10,000 prize is awarded in the history of the Porcelain Ball. 

As reported by Out, contestants competing in the Open To All Face category will be judged on facial symmetry, smile and presence among other criteria. 

Balenciaga, Balmain, Ebony, Garcon, Revlon, St. Laurent and many other fashion brands have already bought tables for the event. A total of $28,000 will be awarded to those competing across the competition’s 17 categories. 

According to Billboard, the singer and fashion mogul has consistently aligned herself with the LGBTQ community, not only through her gender-bending fashion but through political advocacy both on and off the stage. In 2015, Rihanna yelled "f**k that s**t" on stage at the NCAA March Madness Finals in Indiana in response to Mike Pence signing anti-LGBTQ legislation into law.  

The Ball will take place in New York City on October 12. Rihanna has not confirmed that she will be in attendance but many are hoping that she’ll grace the stage with a surprise appearance.
