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.

Such a delight to watch Vogue make Blake bake a tasty-looking pie! Vanity Fair just made Jenna Ortega sculpt a self-portrait out of clay, which was an awkward disaster 🤦🏼♀️

It happens. This is one of the most realistic ways to prepare something. Sometimes you can’t list the ingredients and amount something needs. But as you prepare it you just know what’s next and how much is needed. 🤷🏾♂️

She is ridiculously likeable. That mini montage of finding enough glasses and cups for everyone to have some made me feel happy.
