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.

Zac Enron shattered his jaw and had to have it wired shut.
He was running through his house while wearing socks when he slipped and smacked his face on the corner of a granite

He looked completely normal after that healed. It was way before the drastic plastic surgery on his face. It’s just a lame excuse.

We are all aware. He had plastic surgery and it’s OK. We all get it except apparently people like you
