Monique Coleman dresses to the season as she speaks on stage just before lighting up the UNICEF Snowflake At Snow90210 in Beverly Hills on Thursday night (December 9).
The Gimme Mo’ host and founder wore a BCBG jacket and skirt, a festive gold Express top and completed her look with Christian Louboutin heels.
The UNICEF Snowflake illuminates Beverly Hills and serves as a beacon of hope, peace and compassion to the vulnerable children around the world. Designed by Ingo Maurer with Baccarat crystals, this beautiful ornament was dedicated to UNICEF in 2002 by the Stonbely Family Foundation.
The centerpiece of the celebration was horse drawn carriage rides in the midst of the falling snow from 40 snow machines on the 300 and 400 blocks of Rodeo Drive with complimentary rides for guests with receipt of purchases from participating stores.
Katharine McPhee also performed a few holiday songs including “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Jingle Bells.”
Monique Coleman shows off her plaque as she attends the 2010 Los Angeles Foodbank’s Season For Sharing Awards held at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (December 7).
The Gimme Mo’ hostess was one of the honorees of the 2010 Season For Sharing Award as one of the celebrities who were making a difference. Other honorees included Marlee Matlin, Pat Havrey and Vanna White.
Monique recently made trips to Washington D.C. to discuss her role as the UN Youth Champion and stopped by a local school in Montgomery, Alabama. Student Russell Alexander said of Monique‘s visit: “[She was] a regular person. I thought it was really a remarkable thing to witness.”
The actress and activist was just named the UN Youth Champion for the International Year of Youth!
Monique will serve as the UN Youth Champion until 2011 and shared in the video below, “I just found out today that this position is the first-ever, and that is beyond an honor. It’s truly with great honor that I accept this position. I’ve always been passionate about youth and youth issues which was the inspiration behind my talk show.”
