NEW YORK – Please don’t be alarmed, stay calm: Beyoncé surprised everyone with a surprise front row appearance at the Luar fashion show on Tuesday night.
Just days after breaking the Internet (again) with the announcement of her album “Act II” and the release of two new singles, Beyoncé appeared at New York Fashion Week to mass hysteria and camera flashes. the crowd stunned.
Clad in a silver ensemble, complete with a bejeweled blazer dress, a gem-studded silver hood, thigh-high boots, and a sparkly silver cowboy hat (referring to her new singles “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em”) Also a coincidence iridescent Luar bag – and flanked by mother Tina Knowles and famous bodyguard Julius de Boer, the entire room changed when Queen Bey arrived at her seat moments before the show began in a Brooklyn warehouse. Sister Solange Knowles sat a few seats back, dressed all in black next to designer Christopher John Rodgers.
Beyoncé, her sister, and her mother weren’t on superstar time that night, but rather on proud aunt, mother, and grandmother duty to support Solange Knowles’ son, Daniel “Julez” Smith Jr., at his NYFW debut.
For her runway entry, Smith, 19, modeled an oversized double-breasted leather coat with exaggerated shoulders and matching leather pants, plus furry elbow-length gloves and a large Luar backpack. Solange Knowles applauded and smiled at her son during the end of the show.
Smith mingled at the after-party, waving to friends and huddling around someone’s phone with a laugh.
Murmurs from an exclusive fifth-floor after-party area echoed through the crowd, with partygoers wondering if Beyoncé was still in the building. In fact, she was hiding from the main crowd when she left the party to the shouts of photographers outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of her as she and her shiny cowboy hat disappeared into the back seat of a black pickup truck. (One photographer joked that she might leave the photo of her now that she got the photo of her from her life.)
Designer Raúl López’s show tapped into the concept of metrosexuality, weaving together centuries of inspiration to present what he calls the “return of the metrosexual.”
The collection featured broad-shouldered leather blouses with ostrich shapes reminiscent of the Regency era, designed on the runway with watches connected and wrapped around the chest like a straitjacket; large leather belts without buckles, hung to the waist and fastened with a jeweled cuff; sheer blouses, one of them with a deep V-neckline and cinched at the waist with Luar’s cursive “L”; and the exclusive Luar bags were presented in all sizes, now also in backpack form.
On Monday, Lopez took a look at USA TODAY’s mood board, which featured photos of men in powdered wigs, runway moments that mixed femininity and masculinity, plus the famous unofficial metrosexual spokesman of the 2000s, David Beckham.
Sharing some of the pieces ahead of the show, the CFDA award-winning designer spoke about the fashion cycle and why he labeled the collection “Disappointing,” in line with the truths we tell ourselves and how the side returns. softer of masculinity. fashionable in a new and more tolerant way of LGBTQ+ culture.
“For López, metrosexuality is not just a label or an appearance: it was a trap door to acceptance, a way to hide his sexuality while growing up,” according to the show notes. Within the framework of the “Deceptionist”, she knew how to “deceive, overshadow and, ultimately, transcend.”
Aside from Beyoncé stopping NYFW on Tuesday, plenty of other celebrities have also appeared on the front row.
Designer Christian Siriano marked the official start of NYFW with his lavish return to the runway on Thursday, pairing a lively front row with a desert-inspired collection that mixed warm, bright and sumptuous fabrics with elegant silhouettes.
Ashlee Simpson, “Succession” star J. Smith-Cameron, Melanie Lynskey, Busy Philipps, Sophia Bush and Siriano show off Alicia Silverstone, dressed in a pop of red, completing the front row.
Then on Monday, fashion fans had an unofficial “America’s Next Top Model” reunion at the Pamella Rolland show on Monday during New York Fashion Week, featuring Cycle 3 winner Eva Marcille, photographer Nigel Barker and creative director jay manuel joining together for a moment in the front row.
