Sarah Nurse
After debuting the announcement earlier this month, we’re thrilled to take a closer look at Dulcedo athlete Sarah Nurse’s stunning November 2025 cover feature for ELLE Canada. This moment celebrates not only a milestone in her career but also a shift in how we see women’s hockey, leadership, and fashion.
Photographed by Garrett Naccarato, the shoot blends athletic energy with high-fashion artistry. The visuals are sleek and modern, featuring Miu Miu coats, Balenciaga trenches, and sculptural Issey Miyake tailoring. Each look reflects Sarah’s signature balance of strength and elegance. Styled by Amanda Lee Shirreffs, with beauty and production by Leslie-Ann Thompson (makeup), Mayillah Ezekiel (hair), and Sarah Akli (production), the editorial redefines the modern athlete as a cultural icon.
As ELLE Canada’s cover story details, Sarah enters this next chapter with purpose and authenticity. Between training for the upcoming Winter Olympics, preparing for her move to Vancouver with the PWHL’s new franchise, and continuing her youth-empowerment work, she remains one of the most influential voices in women’s sport today. Her mindset is unwavering: confident, grounded, and driven by her values.
With everything you do, you have to follow your gut and it has to align with your values. There are so many issues within hockey that are a microcosm of society, and using the sport as a vehicle to help people is what fulfills me.
That purpose-driven approach shines beyond the rink. Through Nursey Nights, an initiative with Rogers and the Black Girl Hockey Club, and her annual Sarah Nurse Summer Summit, she continues to empower and connect young women to opportunities across the sports industry, proving that leadership and community go hand in hand.
Her ELLE Canada feature also highlights another side of her influence: fashion. Known for her pre-game tunnel looks and refined personal style, Sarah’s presence in luxury labels like Jacquemus and Miu Miu shows how women athletes are reshaping visibility, identity, and cultural power on a global scale.
At Dulcedo, we’re proud to represent a talent who embodies excellence, representation, and growth. Sarah Nurse’s ELLE Canada cover is more than a celebration. It is a statement of authenticity and a reminder that influence thrives at the intersection of sport, fashion, and community.
