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.

There is no cast without Justin Baldoni, this makes zero sense

Crazy to do this without Justin. It feels so icky 😵💫 Highschool level of bullying.
If he’s not there cause he feels icky to promote a movie about SA the way it’s been promoted here and the past week aka like second Barbie lol I am 💯 with him!!!!
Very very weird choices and dynamics :)))

Ask him, he owns the production company that is also producing the marketing events lmao

Are we joking… or being PUNKED? This whole cast is very sad to watch, remember the bullies or mean girls rally quickly. This is high school level maturity. I will not be seeing the sequel due to their behavior, just leave the book to my imagination. Justin when is the next project is we are following you bud! As a former Lily y’all are a huge disappointment.

This is absolutely wild, not even going to watch it without Justin. Pure disrespect.

The way this cast has been promoting a domestic violence movie vs Justin Baldoni’s more serious take shows why they aren’t promoting the movie together. Blake, do better, this is such a horrible marketing angle on your end.
@momo33727
August 12, 2024 at 3:09 pm
justice for Justin
@sapphiresecretss
August 12, 2024 at 3:09 pm
Haven’t watched the movie yet but only would for Justin. He deserved better than this and he is better than you.

I hope this time everyone sees Blake for whom she really is. This is the same woman who got married on a plantation.
