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.

A bunch of nobodies talking sh1t in the comments. She’s living her best life while your complaining in the comments.

Bunch of “nobodies” are more important that pieces of 💩 “celebrities”. She doesn’t even know you exist or give a crap if something happens to you. At least these nobodies are real with real lives. Celebrities make money off of being fake, nothing genuine. Stop feeding this toxic Hollywood society

@Jedi Jesus she doesn’t know of your existence either. Why interact or even click on this vid if you don’t like these people. 😭

@J Gooner894 No, not at all.I wish this would be the case. I was really happy for them when they got together. But that changed quickly. I don’t blame you. I would think the same about such a comment, if I would’nt know a lot about everything.

No offense but it’s been a month, I don’t think him having a concert isn’t the reason why he didn’t go lol.

@manzsonja What’s that even referring to? Bit of a weird comment when she seems to be mad with him over something possibly related to his partying which we have to take with a grain of salt, could just be paper talk.

@J Gooner894 My comment is referring to a lot of things and not only to the things she did on her IG a few weeks ago. I just wanted to say that I don’t think he is ‘kickin himself’ or whatever. Everyone can have their own opinion. And when someone comments about him such a thing I think I can disagree. To me it is weird that you find my comment weird, in which I just want to give him support. Here are so bad comments against her..would make much more sense to disagree with them. Maybe I’m just sick of him getting all the blame. It was crazy in the comments on so many of her IG posts and she let this all happen.

Wasn’t really impressed it’s kind of boring for her. I feel like her or pulled back in some way would have helped

Her engagement ring IS gone

Just for clarification, she usually doesn’t wear it. In lieu, they both have matching tattoos on their ring finger. No clue if they’re still together (although deuxmoi reported them still spotted together).

She’s so fake, I hate everyone wears that yassified Kardashian make-up. She used to be fresh-faced.

Narcissistic, and sooo insecure that is making her look so cringe

Before everyone starts making assumptions:
– MGK was doing a show on the same night
– she has never worn her engagement ring every day. I imagine it’s a pretty expensive and an awkward ring to wear
– we don’t know what is going on in their relationship
– be kind to each other

That fake smile can’t hide the sadness in her eyes. Makes her come off as disingenuous among other reasons.
