Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.

These two have some amazing chemistry… Wow!! Leo seems to be very joyous around her…

Léo DiCaprio with a woman his age?! 👀
She’s too attractive for him, intelligent, discerning, fully mature and not easily impressed (or manipulated… ).

He’s fine. You all need to stop overreacting to adults being in consenting relationships with other adults. No one has claimed Leo abused anyone. Time to move on and let others live their own lives.

Is it just me or is Leo’s voice changing? Of course he is getting older, but his voice seems hoarser and deeper than just 5 years ago when he did Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Note: I am referring to his actual voice, not his character’s.

it’s usually just in interviews, when he’s talking in real life it sounds the same as before

They probably did this with them because if they got Scorsese, it would take about seven hours.

Leo deserves as Oscar for acting like he was attracted to someone appropriately aged.

Great to see how much research they did into this relationship and the movie influences for their relationship and characters. Very informative. Thank you for sharing!
