The Starlet Soireé Project
At Cherrywood Studios, we believe teen girls are under attack like never before—bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards, social media pressures, and identity struggles. But God has called us to change that.
The Starlet Soireé Project isn’t just a mentorship program—it’s a movement. A bold, faith-driven initiative to equip teenage girls with the confidence, wisdom, and faith they need to navigate today’s world while staying rooted in Christ.

Our Vision
To raise up a generation of bold, faith-filled young women who know their worth, stand firm in their identity in Christ, and use their gifts to shine His light.
We see girls breaking free from insecurity, walking in confidence, and owning their purpose—in their schools, communities, and online. This is the future we’re building.

Our Mission
With 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, working closely with women and girls every day, we’ve witnessed firsthand how society distorts beauty, self-worth, and success. God has placed a calling on our hearts to step in and change the narrative. Through The Starlet Soireé Project, we are dedicated to helping teen girls break free from comparison and insecurity by grounding them in biblical truth, teaching confidence and identity in Christ through mentorship and faith-based workshops, and guiding them in navigating social media in a healthy, Christ-centered way. Additionally, we provide career and life mentorship for young women interested in beauty, fashion, and wellness, equipping them to step into their God-given purpose with confidence and faith.

Why This Matters
Unrealistic beauty standards are deeply affecting today’s teen girls, with over half feeling dissatisfied with their bodies by age 13 and 78% by age 17. Social media bombards them with edited perfection, fueling anxiety, insecurity, and a relentless cycle of comparison. Many struggle with body image issues, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and the belief that their worth is tied to their appearance. Without positive mentorship and faith-driven confidence, these struggles can shape their self-perception for life. But there is hope—when girls are empowered with biblical truth, a strong support system, and mentors who uplift them, they can break free from these lies and step into their God-given identity with confidence and joy.
The Starlet Soireé Project is here to be that support system—helping girls break free from comparison, embrace their God-given worth, and step confidently into their future.
