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.

Her role in Magnolia is one of the best performances ever.

May all the women of our lives age as gracefully as Julianne Moore.

Loved her in The Fugitive, small part but I wished she talked about it

She’s a quiet powerhouse, just a few words and a look are so much. On ATWT you would totally forget it was the same actress, that seldom happens.

i’ve been obsessed with this woman since may december. no clue why it took me so long but there’s something really magnetic about how she approaches acting

Game Change is phenomenal, happy to see it highlighted. Moore truly is one of the best.

I’ve loved her for so many years. It’s been so lovely to follow her career. Go Julianne!

Game Change was frustrating. Julianne gave her all but I think she made Palin too cartoonish. I know she won a shitload of awards for it but I really didn’t enjoy it.

I was actually glad that they included ATWT!

her performance in todd haynes’ safe really stuck with me, though i’ve only seen it once in my life it’s something i mentally go back to when julianne’s name comes up. really harrowing and heavy in terms of the portrayal of a strained housewife
@MrKadirbey

I love her. She always has interesting vocal choices for her roles

I was shocked after her Oscar win people were disappointed she was the winner because I thought her performance was incredible. I know she’s had other amazing roles that she should’ve won for before but I think Still Alice was an excellent win for her.
