His and Gary Oldman’s portrayals are neck-in-neck (sorry) as the best Draculas. Old-school, great theater actor is Frank
(I saw that production of Fortune’s Fool; Bates sucked the air out of the room).

“ I love New York” promotional commercial with Frankl Langella dressed as Count Dracula standing in the center of all the famous stars. I’ll never forget that commercial. He is the most sensual Dracula I’ve ever seen. I would let him bite my neck. What a great voice. What a superb actor.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

2 days ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

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.
