It’s that time of year again! With inspiring stories of service and achievements both big and small, the local men and women in this issue prove that beauty is not only found in superficial standards, but, most importantly, within those who demonstrate strength, love, and loyalty for their community. Among the 2024 50 Most Beautiful participants nominated for this coveted issue, these artists, entrepreneurs, and local leaders have made their mark in the Bay Area. Photographed on location at the iconic Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa, we were able to treat these special individuals to a day of glamour, high praises, and more. Beautiful in its own right, the historical hotel served as the perfect backdrop. From the posh Presidential Suite and rooftop pool area to the Oakleigh Garden Room and Crystal Ball Room—and everywhere in between— everyone had an absolute ball, and it certainly shows.
