Anne Hathaway Leads Star-Studded Front Row at Ralph Lauren’s Glamorous Fall/Winter 2025 Show
Ralph Lauren brought the A-list energy to downtown Manhattan on Thursday afternoon with a dazzling, off-calendar Fall/Winter 2025 runway show—and the front row was every bit as fashionable and famous as the designs on the catwalk.
Leading the stylish pack was Anne Hathaway, who turned heads with her timeless elegance and effortless glamour. The Oscar-winning actress has become something of a fashion week darling in recent years, and her appearance at Ralph Lauren’s latest show only solidified her status as a true modern style icon.
Hathaway wasn’t alone in making a high-impact entrance. Fellow actresses Sadie Sink of Stranger Things fame and Kacey Musgraves, the Grammy-winning country-pop star, were also seated front row, both showcasing Ralph Lauren’s signature blend of American sophistication and contemporary cool.
This runway presentation marked Ralph Lauren’s first major show since his glitzy Hamptons showcase last year, which unofficially kicked off New York Fashion Week. Though this event took place off-calendar, the designer proved once again that he doesn’t need a designated date to draw a celebrity-packed audience and turn fashion into a red carpet-worthy affair.
The front row lineup was a who’s who of Hollywood’s most stylish women, featuring:
-
Ariana DeBose, the Oscar-winning triple threat known for her bold style choices and vibrant presence.
-
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, effortlessly chic in a tailored look that captured the designer’s timeless aesthetic.
-
White Lotus star Sarah Catherine Hook, who brought youthful edge to the polished affair.
-
Esteemed actresses Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams, both of whom exuded understated glamour.
-
Eiza González, stunning in a modern twist on classic Ralph Lauren tailoring.
Also spotted were rising stars Ryan Destiny, Chase Sui Wonders, and singer-actress Andra Day, whose bold fashion choices added diversity and flair to the already eclectic crowd.
The show itself reflected Ralph Lauren’s unwavering commitment to elegance, with a collection that leaned into rich fabrics, tailored silhouettes, and a fall color palette of deep burgundies, classic blacks, and sophisticated neutrals. The runway was a masterclass in timeless American luxury—complete with velvet eveningwear, wide-brim hats, and crisp menswear-inspired pieces reimagined for powerful, fashion-forward women.
But as always with Ralph Lauren, the clothes are only part of the story. The designer’s events are known for their carefully curated atmospheres, and this Manhattan showing was no different. Guests sipped champagne under the glow of soft, ambient lighting, as the runway wound through an industrial-chic venue transformed into a luxurious urban escape.
The brand’s ability to bridge old-school refinement with modern celebrity culture was on full display. While the runway celebrated Ralph Lauren’s core design principles, the presence of new-generation stars alongside fashion veterans made it clear: Ralph Lauren continues to evolve while staying rooted in classic American glamour.
For Anne Hathaway, Sadie Sink, and the rest of the glittering guest list, the show was more than just a style showcase—it was a moment to celebrate fashion, legacy, and the enduring power of the front row.
