Cam Newton’s style has been a topic of conversation for many years. From his bold patterns and mixed prints to his extravagant hats, people have often wondered how he was able to put his looks together. Whether you love it or hate it, the 2015 NFL MVP is sharing the deets into his styling process. Cam recently uploaded a video on his YouTube page where he gave viewers a peek into his one-million-dollar closet while explaining how he picks out an outfit for each day.
“The hardest thing may be where do you start. Starting may be..Do I start with the shoes? You can. Can I start with the pants? You can. Can I start with the shirt? Like, yes, yes, yes, you can,” he suggested. “So, that's the hardest thing. Like, for me, so now I make my shit simple. So, it’s like I just start with whatever the picture tells me to start with.”

Before picking out an outfit for the day (he typically begins this process the night before), the Atlanta native looks through his “digital scrapbook,” which is filled with photos he saved from Instagram and magazines, and uses that as a starting point for what to wear. The video shows Cam going through his closets, which are also on two separate floors, looking for clothes to complete the look from the photo, which shows a man wearing a brown sports coat, button-down collar pinstripe dress shirt, and a brown, blue, and cream tie.

While it may seem that it would be hard to keep track of multiple closets with two floors, Cam has a system where he divides everything into sections, such as sports coats, sets, etc. His pieces range from a Dapper Dan original to thrifted clothing. “I do not have to shop another day in my life and trust me, I will always have on a style that is current,” he said.

As he continued putting pieces together, he shared how he believes that an outfit should have details and layers no matter the weather. Cam has become somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to accessories. We’ve seen him rock a wide variety of hats, scarves, and glasses. “I love flair, I love pop, I love shebang,” he explained while adding a lapel to his sports coat. The former Carolina Panthers quarterback shared that he got into accessorizing with glasses because he wore glasses growing up. However, he got LASIK surgery, and while he didn’t need glasses anymore, he began feeling “naked” without them.

Overall, Cam describes his process of getting dressed, sans a stylist, as being intentional. “My intentions, when I’m getting dressed for myself, is so intentional to what I am and what I’m doing that I already know what kind of look and feel that I’m going for,” he noted.

"When I graduated high school, I moved back to America, Georgia, and I ended up making, like, the oil, the Rose Galore oil, which is like the staple product of my brand. I don't know what made me make it, but I did, and it literally cleared my face up," she tells xoNecole in an exclusive interview.
"I end up selling it as a body oil first because, obviously, I'm 17, [and] don't have any background as an esthetician or anything like that. I just made a product that worked for me, but people bought it and was using it, and I reformulated it, and then it just stuck like with me."
While MoonXCosmetics is known for its facial products, it wants to expand to body care and home. It just released its new product, Moon-Gel body wash, and it's only up from there. As Mariee continues to grow the brand, it's more than likely that she will see more history-making moments. And so far she has.

When asked if she feels pressure to obtain more of those milestones, she says yes and no. "I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more," she says.
"I want to say more reach than more like fast-paced sales. I do want that. Obviously, every girl wants that, but I do want to have a better overall reach for my brand because I did take two years off so I was able to learn, [and] study a lot of different things. See how things have changed from 2020 to now."
"I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more."
Another part of expanding for any company is hiring people. Finding the right person to help you can be a hassle, especially for business owners who are used to doing all the work themselves. Mariee can relate to this, and she touched on this topic in her documentaryThe Million Dollar Story. She recommends having someone be your "right-hand man" who you trust to handle the ins and outs of the company.
"I could say, definitely get, like a right-hand man to help you within the process because that really was what helped me. I never had a job. I literally was 18 now, being like, you know, the boss of over 30+ employees at one point in time, and I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about no W-2s, no taxes, no clock in, clock out because all I [have] ever known was my brand," she explains.
"So I definitely partner with people who are very skewed and versed in those areas, and they helped me get through it. Even to this day, I still have my same person helping me with hiring, firing, [and] doing everything that I can right now because I'm still learning. But obviously people get jobs young, so they have way more experience than me, but still learning."
And though she is still learning, one thing she makes sure to stay on top of is being consistent. Consistency is what trips many people up when it comes to achieving goals, but Mariee says it's all about scheduling. Whether it's when to post on social media or email marketing, scheduling it out can make a world of difference. That same practice also works when planning out her future goals for the company.
"Right now, future goals would be to drop at least five more products before the end of the year. We always do outreach, where we do drives and all that, but definitely do way more this year, she says. "Then really dive into body [care], and then hopefully open up MoonXBody underneath MoonXCosmetics to let that branch out and be open and definitely get back consistent."
