Fashion Week: Front Row Favorites

Celebs spotted runway-side in past seasons that we’re hoping to see again.

By Celia L. Smith · August 25, 2014October 27, 2020
01
Lupita Nyong’o

Last season, Lupita’s whirlwind onto the Hollywood scene also included her chic attendance to several Fashion Week shows. Prim and pretty as ever, Nyong’o made the front row warm and fuzzy in pastel knits at Calvin Klein. Can’t wait to see what she’ll be serving this season.

02
Rihanna

We’re always excited to see how this bad gal will shake up the front row at Fashion Week in a look that doesn’t follow typical fashion protocol, like this one at Opening Ceremony.

03
Kanye West

If the discerning style connossieur graces any front row, it’s certified Yeezy-approved. A front-row sighting of ‘Ye is rare, and major when it happens.

04
Solange

This fashion girl chooses her shows wisely and we’re following her every move to see where she’ll boldly pop-up next (the Noon By Noors show, perhaps?) and what she’ll be wearing, of course.

05
Zendaya Coleman

This Disney break-out star gives celebs twice her age a run for their money when it comes to fashion. From youthful get-ups to seriously grown-up accessories (like these major boots) she keeps the front row fresh.

Ciara

Fashion’s “it” girl has been knocking it out the park –– even post baby; so we’re excited to see how singer will serve it front row from New York to Paris this season.

07
Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee’s outfits are great on a regular day, throw in New York Fashion Week and we’re in heaven. We’re hoping in between filming Black-ish, our Instagram feeds will fill up with this fashionista’s pics of her front row chronicles.

08
Samira Wiley

Orange was the new black front row for Samira Wiley at BCBGMaxAzria last season when the actress showed up stunning in a tunic-style strapless top, and trousers. We’re sure she and Laverne Cox will have a few major moments in a couple of weeks.

09
Kerry Washington

Kerry is naturally a fashion girl at heart. We wonder if the new mom will have time for a viewing of the Alexander Wang show in another chic Pope-inspired ensemble.

June Ambrose

It isn’t a officially fashion week if June Ambrose isn’t in the building. Juggling between Jay-Z shoots and being a “Rock Mom,” the style maven always shows up and shows out.
