Sue Wong, Cosmo Girl

Next month, fashion publication Cosmopolitan will honor Los Angeles–based designer Sue Wong with its “Fun Fearless Female” award, an annual award recognizing women who best exemplify the magazine’s motto.

Wong joins a league of talented women whom the magazine also nominated Fun Fearless Females, including actresses Alicia Silverstone, Diane Lane, Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy Liu, Holly Hunter, Parminder Nagra and Mischa Barton; filmmaker Sofia Coppola; R&B vocalist Ashanti; and writer Lisa Scottoline.

Cosmopolitan will feature the Fun Fearless Females in its February issue. The group will gather in New York in February to celebrate the acknowledgement at a luncheon event.

Wong, who has designed sportswear and dresses in Los Angeles for the past 35 years, is known for creating silk gowns in classic, sexy silhouettes with hand-sewn embellishments. The Sue Wong collection is sold at specialty stores and major department stores, including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s. —Claudia Figueroa
