The Her Universe Fashion Show 2023

The Her Universe Fashion Show will be held on Thursday, July 20, at 6 p.m. PT in the Harbor Ballroom of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel. Check-in begins at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 20th, with doors open at 4:15 PM. In past years, fans have lined up for hours before the show to try and get a good seat. By the time last year’s event started, there was only standing room left. I definitely recommend showing up for check-in at 11 am. And be sure to get in line early for a good seat.

Audience members help choose one of the winners, as well as an expert panel of judges. It’s easy to be blown away by these one-of-a-kind designs. Each year we are consistently blown away by the contestants and their passion for their fandoms. I do not envy the tough decisions the judges will have to make.

Hot Topic will transform the lobby into a whimsical fan experience in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Disney’s Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Fans will have the opportunity to embark on a winding path through the Cemetery, take photos, spin Oogie Boogie’s prize wheel, and more.
