Our Favorite Celebrity Front Row Moments From New York Fashion Week SS27

New York Fashion Week may be about the clothes on the runway, but the front row is often just as closely watched.

Designers strategically dress celebrities, tastemakers, and friends of the house, turning their front-row appearances into an extension of the collection itself. Beyond simply attending a show, these fashion moments help generate buzz, shape the conversation around a new collection, and bring the designer’s vision directly to the culture.

From music and Hollywood royalty to athletes, reality stars, and fashion’s favorite couples, this season’s front rows were packed with familiar faces who know how to serve a look. Across the city, celebrities stepped out in their best looks, giving us plenty to talk about long before the models hit the runway.

From Lauryn Hill bringing her avant garde style to Tory Burch to Teyana Taylor making a sexy statement at Calvin Klein, the week was filled with style moments worth pausing for.

Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns arrived at Tommy Hilfiger, NeNe Leakes channeled the provocativeness of Luar, and Jordan Clarkson brought his suave to Thom Browne.

Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo and Viola Davis brought their own brand of elegance to Ralph Lauren. Coco Jones turned heads at LaQuan Smith, and Ayra Starr made her presence known at Coach.

Here are the celebrities who made the front row their own runway this NYFW.
