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.

Jude Law ages like fine wine. “The Holiday” is one of my favourite holiday movies to date, I love his dynamic with his two young daughters.

I haven’t watched the first movie so the moment on a boat was a bit… unexpected. Could you please warn people about cruel scenes before hand?

He is such an amazing, versatile actor. I love when they break scenes down, it makes watching the movies again so much better.
