The jacket was designed and styled by Kathy Kopp, Miami based Colombian designer and stylist to many recognized stars including Shakira, and made with the leather used in the vehicle’s seats and accentuated with red stitching.  The designer was inspired by the bold and distinctive design of the Camry that lead to the idea of a uniquely crafted jacket.  In partnership with Toyota, William Levy wore the jacket to make an exclusively bold and distinctive fashion statement that evening.   

“This event is one of our long-standing sponsorships that allows us to connect to many of today’s Latino artists and stars in the community.  This year, we wanted to shine the spotlight on the 2015 Camry by highlighting the versatility and luxury of the material you can find in this latest model,” said Jack Hollis, group vice president of marketing at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

Another one of the 50 Most Beautiful stars, singer Becky G., joined Toyota to give followers an inside look at the red carpet action that evening.  She shared messages and video on @ToyotaLatino and Facebook channels.

Other Toyota sponsored activations for the event included the ever popular “Elije tu Bello” contest, which garnered more than a million fan votes online and People en Espanol’s new “Bellos Unplugged” video series.  The video series provides readers exclusive behind the scenes photos, beauty tips and interviews with some of their favorite 50 Most Beautiful celebrities on the People en Espanol portal.  For more on the Bellos issue and highlights from Toyota at the event visit peopleenespanol.com and www.facebook.com/ToyotaLatino.
