Maksim Chmerkovksiy And Meryl Davis Attend 2014 Woman Of The World Luncheon, News On “Sway- A Dance Trilogy”
Awww, Meryl Davis looks so pretty! She and Dancing With The Stars partner Maks Chmerkovskiy attended the 2014 Woman Of The World luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California this week. You can see more fabulous shots of them at Getty Images.
Also, speaking of Maks and if you haven’t heard yet… he, Val, and Tony are putting on a ‘Dance With Me’ theatre production called “Sway-A Dance Trilogy” in New York City on June 26th. Zendaya is going to star in it as well. If interested, you can read more on it and buy tickets here. Thanks to Heather for the heads up.
ETA: In more things on Meryl, she and ice dancing partner attended Charlie White attended an AT&T fan Meet-And-Greet in West Hollywood, California yesterday. You can some fun photos of them at Getty Images.
Maks’ mama let him out of the house dressed like that?!
That looks like a formal black tie jacket paired with a scrubby t-shirt and wrinkled flood pants. Um……okay.
Really like Meryl’s shoes in the shorts picture.
I don’t like his pants either!!
#jimmbboe … Either he changed in the car, or his adolescent rebellion has finally arrived. “Out, out, damned Oedipus!”
This is wonderful that Zendaya and Val will dance together again. All their fans are so happy that this going to happen! To me they where the best couple on season 16. DWts need to have a all stars again so their fans can watch them again
Didn’t Maks wear the same suit jacket during the team dance?
Huh. I have actually done volunteer work for Childhelp in our area-it is a great national organization, and unfortunately, very, very needed. Didn’t know Maks was involved with it.
Meryl looks super cute, Maks, well… what was his second choice?
Aw, Meryl looks gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the latest, Voguerista as usual! 🙂
YW and thank you too!! 😉
I thought all Maks had done for the organization was get people to donate to it through him. Like the same sort of thing that Val did for his birthday. So while it is indeed admirable to be recognized for helping out a charity, it is really his fans who donated money I think. Val did that and managed to raise $28k but it wasn’t like he personally donated money. Sorry, don’t slam me but this is not Mother Teresa type charity work.
#10 Judy, I believe Maks has started some kind of dance therapy program with them. I remember seeing a video the organization produced about it a few months back.
Donna, thanks for the clarification. Just feeling a bit grumpy over celebs and their causes which can be more about pr for them than actually getting their hands dirty and their wallets empty! I realise this is not always the case though.
#12 Judy I agree. Now that she’s back on the show, I’ve been wondering whatever happened to Erin being a public voice for stalking victims. I sure haven’t seen her do one thing public since she went to Capital Hill that summer.
How do you know Val didn’t donate any money himself? For all anyone can know, he might have donated that much or more himself. I think Val can be a real ass but to me from what I’ve seen, he has a real heart for kids. And getting your fans to become involved in a charity you respect is a great way to show that charity to a large number of people. I’ve seen pics with Val with kids, sure his PR person was right there, no doubt it’s great pr. But I’ve worked in a few children’s hospitals and had my own child be a patient in 2, and there is something genuine and deeply respectful about his interactions with those kids that can’t be faked. Just to be clear again, I think he can be a real ass, I think his clothes are silly, and I’m not a fan of how he is on the show but I respect what he does for charity. I have no idea what Maks has done and I know this post was about him so I shouldn’t be ranting about a comment about Val. But if more people gave a damn about kids who suffer in the world, it would be a much better world IMO
Maks also went to DC to host a benefit fashion show for child help. The Washington Post article on it was quite positive and, iirc, indicated he spoke well of the cause and the [unfortunate] great need for people to support the organization.
I was just going to say that Jess. I think any awareness being brought to any good cause to further humanity is a worthy one and unless the ‘celebrity’ is asked I wouldn’t assume they didn’t donate money themselves. On the contrary I think it’s more likely that they have. There are plenty of ‘celebrities’ who don’t bother doing either in our self-absorbed world. Good for them for contributing in any way possible.
Thanks for another great post Vogue! I’m curious who the “surprise guests” will be at the Sway event. I may attend. I wonder if Meryl may be one of them–I believe the next big scheduled thing on her and Charlie’s calendar is “The Ice” show in Japan in July. I think Kirstie Alley has done a similar event in the past as well.
Meryl looks fabulous in both photos though I’m not crazy about the white heels. They look a bit clunky on her. Charlie actually looks very happy as well. Way different from Monday night. Lucky Meryl–she had lunch with Maks and then the meet/greet and probably dinner with Charlie all in the same day.
Whoever did Meryl’s foundation apparently didn’t match it properly…
Her foundation never looks right.
Courtney, I noticed that too, but she has had the slightly kabuki-ish look in DWTS packages when they were rehearsing in CA at times also. I wonder if that is the work of DWTS makeup artists. Perhaps they went to the luncheon after rehearsals.
I think the problem with the foundation is two-fold: one, she’s got a spray tan from DWTS, so they should kick her foundation a shade or two warmer to match her neck, shoulders, and arms; two, whoever applied it used a heavy hand, so it flashed back when the camera flashed. I don’t know if everyone is just dead set on her having this porcelain doll look or what, but they don’t have to use chalky-white foundation on her ALL THE TIME – from her arms and shoulders, she looks like she’s at least a MAC NW30 right now, and it seems like they’re still putting NW20 on her face. As for the heavy-handedness – use a beauty blender. It’s nary impossible to OD on foundation if you know how to properly use one of those!
Love Meryl’s dress and don’t mind the shoes. The kabuki look has got to go. As for Maks, he’s just doing the typical Chmerkovskiy gangsta-chic look. The C-boys can’t resist trying to show everyone all the time how urban and hip they are. In my opinion, there are so many other choices that would be much more attractive and classy — a beautifully tailored suit, a sport coat and dress jeans, a leather jacket and khakis/casuals.
Has Charlie always worn a collection of wrist bands or has he started wearing some of the Maks jewelry collection since he’s been traveling with Maks?
i don’t care for Maks’ look (outfit) but Meryl’s look is lovely. (like the dress & shoes) Love Charlie’ photo. He is such a cutie when he smiles. She looks tiny in shorts. Didn’t like what she had on in that dance this past Monday and the sneakers shoes or whatever they were, just “awful.
