Disney’s Minnie Mouse Celebrates 90 Years of Style with Britney Tokyo and Jamie Chung
In a vibrant intersection of high fashion and classic animation, celebrity nail artist Britney Tokyo and actress Jamie Chung came together to celebrate a global icon. The event, the #MinnieStyle Suite, took place on September 5, 2018, at the Nomo Soho Hotel in New York City. Part of a larger year-long tribute to Minnie Mouse’s 90th anniversary, the suite offered a curated luxury experience during New York Fashion Week, highlighting Minnie’s enduring status as a fashion pioneer.
A Milestone Celebration for a Fashion Icon
Minnie Mouse has long been more than just a character; she is a style icon who has inspired generations. Her 90th year was marked by significant honors, including receiving her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in early 2018. The #MinnieStyle Suite continued this momentum, transforming a section of the Nomo Soho into a hub of creativity and beauty. Attendees were treated to a range of services designed to capture Minnie’s signature aesthetic—bold, effervescent, and always polished.
Central to this experience was the presence of Britney Tokyo, the Los Angeles-based artist who has redefined modern nail art. Known for her “zany” and wildly colorful creations, Tokyo was the perfect choice to helm the nail station at an event celebrating such a visually distinct character. Her work often features intricate 3D adornments and hand-painted details, a style she refined after moving from Tokyo to the U.S. in 2005.
The Britney Tokyo Journey: From Tokyo to Hollywood
Britney Tokyo’s path to becoming a celebrity manicurist is a testament to both her technical skill and her savvy use of social media. After graduating from a top nail academy in Japan and obtaining her JNA First Class certification, she relocated to the United States with the goal of becoming the world’s best nail artist.
Her breakthrough came through Instagram, where her unique designs caught the attention of high-profile clients and industry insiders. Her first major celebrity client was Vanessa Hudgens, which quickly led to collaborations with Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Katy Perry. Tokyo’s ability to blend the precision of Japanese nail techniques with a bold, “pop” American sensibility has made her a staple at red carpet events and major fashion campaigns.
Jamie Chung: A Modern Muse
For Jamie Chung, who participated in the suite’s offerings, the event was a natural fit. Chung has successfully transitioned from her early days on The Real World: San Diego to a versatile acting career with roles in The Hangover Part II and as nails boca raton Mulan in Once Upon a Time. Beyond the screen, Chung is an entrepreneur and fashion influencer who co-founded the lifestyle blog “What The Chung.” Her presence at the #MinnieStyle event underscored the character’s appeal to modern, multi-hyphenate women who value creativity and individual expression.
The #MinnieStyle Suite was just one highlight in a year that saw Minnie Mouse collaborating with fashion legends like Diane Von Furstenberg, further cementing her legacy. By bringing together masters of their craft like Britney Tokyo and contemporary stars like Jamie Chung, Disney proved that even after 90 years, Minnie’s style remains as relevant and inspiring as ever.
