Cassandra Grey is a high-profile American entrepreneur, editor, and the visionary founder of Violet Grey, a luxury beauty destination and digital magazine. Born in San Francisco, she became a central figure in Hollywood’s beauty scene, launching the "Violet Code"—a rigorous testing standard where industry experts vet products for professional use. In a landmark move for her career, Grey reacquired Violet Grey from Farfetch in late 2024 after the e-commerce giant shuttered its beauty division, subsequently expanding her empire by acquiring The Detox Market and Cos Bar in 2025.
Beyond her retail success, she is the chair and artistic director of Violet Lab, a brand incubation arm that develops high-end products like the Madame Grey fragrance. Often referred to as a "gatekeeper" of the prestige beauty market, she has collaborated with a roster of A-list talent, from Kim Kardashian to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Grey is also known for her prominent role in Los Angeles and New York social circles, frequently appearing at major industry events like the 2026 premiere of FX's *The Beauty*.
