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.

Elisabeth looks as stunning as ever. I can’t believe that she’s 40 now, and that “Mad Men” debuted 15 years ago! 😲

The Invisible Man is one of the best horror thrillers I’ve ever seen.

I think they are referring to Elizabeth Moss as a scientologist

so amazing to watch her break down all the things in these scenes that a regular audience member that knows nothing about the art of acting/filming wouldn’t know beforehand! so talented.

I don’t understand how this zero expression having scientology spouting weirdo has a career in acting.

Elizabeth is one of the greatest actors of this generation. She 100% deserves G.O.A.T status!

Mad Men is one of my all time favorite shows, loved her character development the most. Literally did not want that show to end. I can’t believe I’ve never seen invisible man!

It took me a while to get around to watching that reimagining of the “invisible man” …
However, do be forewarned that it is not just a horror movie but delves into domestic violence.
I just wanted you to know because that came as a surprise, and actually hard to watch.

Elisabeth Moss and Vincent Kartheiser were the foundation of this spectacular series, because they were the most relatable characters.

I have always loved Elizabeth Moss’s choices in the parts that she takes on. Her willingness to study and laugh at herself and also her great explanation of these scenes is refreshing.
As towards the big fat cult elephant in the room… Yes, I question her choice but at least she has chosen good and diverse parts … Yes I am referencing the other person that belongs to that group that has played the same part for 25 years.
