One of the guests in the front row was none other than the Oscar-winning actress, who has been seen at several of the Fashion Week events over the years. To celebrate not only the start of the exciting chain of fashion shows but also her upcoming fashion industry-inspired film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Anne posed in an elegant gown that turned heads.
For the show, which took place on February 10th, she stunned fans in a long, dramatic, black halter gown made from a slightly sheer fabric. The gown, which came from Ralph Lauren's 2025 fall collection, had a ruffled skirt and diagonal pieces of black lace across it. The backless dress was paired with a faux fur and feather shrug. She accessorized with some gold jewelry, black boots, and large black sunglasses, keeping her makeup to a chic minimum.
