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.

She looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous as always, just the sweetest personality. The dress fits her beautifully as well, but I don’t know how I feel about such a literal tennis graphic pasted onto the dress. I know being in a blatantly themed dress is her thing, but in my opinion it would’ve been better to go for something at least a little more subtle? But again, that’s only my opinion. I’m by no means a fashionista lol her team did a phenomenal job!

Law is so tacky… just because the movie is about tennis doesn’t mean she needs to go dressed in tennis print !!! She needs a better stylist

People are getting mad over a literal statement piece and I think it’s funny. Fashion is supposed to be fluid. It can be serious and unserious. I think this outfit does what it needs to without it being too much (Which I think can be seen all over fashion history) I think this dress does enough. It’s a literal premiere dress. LOL.
