What do you get when you mix brains, beauty, broadcast brilliance and a dash of Bond girl glamour? You get the an exclusive fashion event that no one can buy their way into. This weekend, the social orbits of Washington’s finest aligned ever so stylishly, as Jacqueline Matter, FOX 5’s golden hour goddess, and breezy blond beauty Bree Kunzel Publisher Extrodinaire, the brains behind a fast-growing lifestyle brand (and the best cheekbones this side of Great Falls), clinked glasses with none other than Maryland’s own financial femme fatale, Deputy State Treasurer Courtney Finklea Green.
Don’t let the regal haute couture fool you, Ms. Green is no idle ornament at the gala. The Prince George’s County socialite is the single mother rewriting Annapolis power dynamics, managing nearly $12 billion in Maryland 529 assets with the precision of a Cartier watch. One moment she’s explaining fiscal corridors, the next she’s floating through society salons dressed like a Queen in red lipstick like she owns the floor and arguably, she does.
She’s a cross societal queen, raised on local grit, orbiting among Georgetown garden parties and tony Potomac soirées, always with her signature quiet dazzle. A woman who makes fiduciary stewardship feel like a luxury item, Ms. Green is proving that glam and governance are not mutually exclusive.
And the whispers say this trio might not just be pretty faces, there’s talk of influence, collaboration and maybe even a little adventure (the fun kind). The power set has been put on notice: the future is female, fierce and fabulously dressed.
