Anne Hathaway, Lana Del Rey, and a host of other celebrities attended Ralph Lauren’s Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show on Tuesday, February 10, at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City, signaling the unofficial kickoff to New York Fashion Week.
Hathaway arrived in a sheer black, ruffled lace halter dress from Ralph Lauren’s Autumn 2025 collection, paired with a chocolate brown feather coat and black cowboy boots, drawing attention for its daringly low back. The look was completed with gold jewelry and sunglasses, described as “very Devil Wears Prada” by observers.
Lana Del Rey, accompanied by her husband Jeremy Dufrene, opted for a more romantic ensemble. She wore a cream, low-cut, long-sleeved blouse with ruffled detailing, a delicately embroidered floral skirt, a brown leather blazer, and cognac cowboy boots. Dufrene sported a black trucker hat and a worn leather jacket with jeans.
The front row too included Oscar-winning actress Ariana DeBose, actors Morgan Spector and Rebecca Hall, Emilia Jones, Lili Reinhart, and supermodel Joan Smalls. Phoebe Gates and Anna Wintour were also in attendance.
Gigi Hadid opened the runway show, wearing a bouclé tweed corset and tailored skirt. The collection featured over 50 different fabrics, including Edwardian cotton taffeta, tweed, chainmail, and velvet, with designs ranging from daywear to evening wear. A brown velvet halter gown cinched with a chunky leather belt and chainmail sleeves also appeared on the runway.
Ralph Lauren, 86, took a bow after the show, which served as a prelude to the official start of New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, February 11.
