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.

this is a really nice conversation. It is so easy and comfortable listening to them sharing insights about being professional or being a woman, a mom or challenging ourselves while still being grounded.

Okay. Some people in this comments are taking this very wrong. What Zoe meant was she wanted a new brown/ Latina actress in a green makeup 💚 to be the next new Gamora if Marvel Studios & Walt Disney Studios are planning on doing a Gamora spin-off. And I think it really should be Ariana Greenblatt (who previously played Baby Gamora in Avengers: Infinity Wars).
But I DO wish & hope that Zoe will be back as Gamora in the MCU though. If she’s interested.
