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.

Interesting, I didn’t realize she was more of a girlie girl than not. Her movies in Enola Holmes made me think of her as not so girlie LOL!! I love her as an actress and totally get the accent changes, my sister is the same way. If she’s around someone with an accent, she will instantly start talking like that.

What is the logic behind deliberately wearing the incorrect shade and/or undertone of foundation? So much faffing to try and blend it into the neck to match the rest of her skin. She has access to professionals so surely they’d be using and recommending the very best products? I found this unfathomable. I kept listening carefully to see if there was an explanation for it, that perhaps she was going out and would be walking into a certain lighting situation but would otherwise not wear this shade and instead go for X or Y product. This technical chat never came so I’m at a loss. Can someone offer any insight please?

Millie that shade is to dark and for someone who has her own make up and skin care line, why arent you using your own products?🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
