New York Fashion Week 2025: The Best Front Row Style

Brace yourselves! Another New York Fashion Week has officially arrived, and the new fall 2025 collections are sure to delight all fashion spectators. The official calendar features many exciting shows to look forward to: Christopher John Rogers! Luar! Tory Burch!—all guaranteed to have front rows filled with A-list celebrities.

The always-buzzy Marc Jacobs show kicked off NYFW with a bang. Celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Lisa Rinna, and Nara Smith all leaned into the designer’s signature cartoony silhouettes, bravely rocking exaggerated coats and extra-clunky shoes with pride. At Lingua Franca’s first-ever show, Katie Couric and Devon Walker were among those sitting front row, while Molly Ringwald, Jenna Lyons, and more made surprises cameos on the runway.

As the week progresses, you can expect even more stars to slip into fresh-off-the-runway designs, playing the ultimate form of dress-up. Below, explore all of the front row action at New York Fashion Week.
