When it came to dreaming up her draft look, Amoore left most of the design process up to Westbrook. “I pretty much said I wanted a cropped blazer and a skirt, and from then on, I didn’t know what to expect.”
Westbrook and Honor the Gift landed on a black leather blazer with white-stich floral embroidery—cropped to Amoore’s liking—paired with a matching mini skirt. “We didn’t want to go too crazy, but also wanted to give her a little bit of swagger for one of the biggest moments and nights of her life,” Westbrook says.
Amoore will wear the skirt suit with a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Honor Women,” a piece available to shop from the LA-based brand. “While Georgia’s draft outfit is this aspirational, one-of-a-kind look, the T-shirts are the attainable element of our collaboration,” Westbrook explains. “They’re how fans can connect with this moment and carry this message forward.” And what is that message? “It’s a statement about how I was raised and how I live my life,” Westbrook says. “My mom taught me about strength and sacrifice. My wife shows me what true partnership looks like. And now having daughters, I’m even more committed to creating a world that honors and respects women.”

Though Amoore’s everyday style is decidedly casual—“I’m definitely a simple girl,” she says—for draft night, she leaned into accessorizing. “We started piling on the bracelets [and] the more you put on, the more you want!,” she says, recalling her last fitting. “As good as the outfit was plain, the necklace and the rings and the bracelets really tied it together.”
Reflecting on the collaboration with Westbrook, it’s not lost on Amoore what a singular experience it’s been. “Looking back on my life, it’s probably going to be one of the coolest things ever, and I’m just so grateful,” she says. “It’s not a play on words, but it’s an honor.”
