ABOUT THE 10 BEST DRESSED
The Crystal Charity Ball 10 Best Dressed Fashion Show and Luncheon is in its 52nd year of celebrating the most philanthropic and fashionable women in Dallas. Kim Quinn is chair and Nancy Nasher is honorary chair of this year’s event, which will be held on Sept. 17 at Neiman Marcus Downtown Dallas. The Fashion Show and Luncheon will feature a special presentation from Carolina Herrera.
ABOUT HALL OF FAME
After being named to the 10 Best Dressed list for three consecutive years, honorees become members of the Hall of Fame. Each year, one member of the Hall of Fame is recognized for her personal style and commitment to the community.
Hall of Famer Tavia Hunt
The 2026 Hall of Fame honoree supports a variety of Dallas charitable organizations along with her husband, Kansas City Chiefs co-owner and FC Dallas CEO Clark Hunt. She was previously recognized at the Crystal Charity Ball’s annual Fashion Show and Luncheon from 2003 to 2005.
The local organizations she assists include The Sweetheart Ball supporting UT Southwestern Medical Center, Focus on the Family, Council for Life, the Crystal Charity Ball, the Chiefs Women’s Organization, and nonprofits that serve children and military families or support education and healthcare initiatives.
This spring, the Hunts served as chairs of The Sweetheart Ball, which our sister publication D Magazine reports raised around $4 million.
What are you proudest of having accomplished in the last year?
Professionally, serving as chairman of The Sweetheart Ball and helping raise meaningful support for improving lives across Dallas has been incredibly rewarding. Personally, I’m most proud of watching our children continue to grow into compassionate, faith-filled adults who are pursuing lives of purpose. Seeing them embrace service and integrity is far more meaningful than any personal recognition.
Erin Mathews
The first-time honoree and real estate agent serves on the Dallas Symphony Association’s board of governors and assists The Family Place, Junior League of Dallas, the Crystal Charity Ball, and Tri-Delta’s Cookies and Castles benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. She also enjoys supporting The Episcopal School of Dallas, where her grandchildren are students.
Last year, Mathews served as honorary co-chair of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s annual gala and as honorary chair of The Family Place’s annual Partners Card fundraiser.
Now known as Dallas’ original real estate influencer, Mathews came to Dallas when she was in her 20s and worked at Neiman Marcus before she turned her hobby of remodeling houses into a career in real estate.
She enjoys traveling with her son, Travis, daughter-in-law Brittany, and her grandchildren, Sutton and George.
What are your favorite fashion trends this year?
Lots of plaid and loafers.

She’s also co-chaired the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute’s Texas State of Mind Society.
What is your favorite Dallas event to get dressed up for and why?
The Crystal Charity Ball is one of my favorite evenings of the year. I love seeing everyone dressed so elegantly, and what makes the night truly special is coming together to support children in our community alongside those doing the work.

What are you proudest of having accomplished in the last year?
One of my proudest moments this past year was representing our partnership with The Salvation Army during Giving Tuesday on both Good Morning America and The TODAY Show! It was an incredible opportunity to help shine a national spotlight on an organization that has meant so much to me, my family and the Dallas Cowboys.

A beautiful custom ballgown that my mother had made when she chaired an event in Austin almost 30 years ago. I am still waiting for the perfect moment to wear it!

What are your favorite fashion trends this year?
As a sixth-generation Texan, I always enjoy seeing Western influences on the runway. From turquoise jewelry to embellished boots and everything in between, the trend feels right at home.
