The best front row style from New York Fashion Week

Just as the spring 2026 shows during New York Fashion Week are bound to serve up new trends and styling ideas, loads of celebrity sightings feel like a given. After all, seeing the stars is always part of the fun of attending NYFW: You simply never know which A-lister will make a surprise appearance at a presentation. (Just last season, we caught glimpses of Bad Bunny, Keke Palmer, and Chloë Sevigny, to name only a few.)
Indeed, the spring collections kicked off on Wednesday evening with Ralph Lauren, where a lineup including Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Naomi Watts, and Usher brought their best statement looks for the awaiting paparazzi.

What will the rest of NYFW hold? With big shows like Coach, Michael Kors, and Tory Burch on the roster, you can expect tons of VIP sightings to come. And we will be documenting them all — so be sure to check back here for daily updates.
