The 10 Best Celebrity Looks at New York Fashion Week, Part 1

When we stop to think of all the things we love about New York Fashion Week — the work-of-art collections, the stunning beauty looks, the awesome after parties — it’s hard to narrow it all down to just one thing we love the most about the semi-annual event. But seeing which celebrities grace the front row and what they’re wearing is always at the top of the list, and this year is no exception. Stars from the big screen, small screen, music world, and more have been taking the front row by storm in statement-making styles that have show-goers and fashion fans alike focusing just as much on them as on the looks that walk down the runway. Just four days in, there have already been a ton of amazing celebrity ensembles at NYFW, but we’ve narrowed it down to just 10 of the best front-row fashions. Take a look.

Anna Kendrick

News that the actress has signed on for Pitch Perfect 2 has us paying Kendrick more attention than ever, and her gorgeous NYFW looks — including the ladylike dress she wore to the Monique Lhullier show — have given us something great to gawk at.

Olivia Palermo

The newly engaged Palermo is a Fashion Week pro at this point, and she proved it yet again with this casual-chic black and white combo at the Tibi show this weekend.

Rita Ora

There’s a reason why Ora fronts her fair share of DKNY campaigns: She looks really good in the label’s clothes. Showing up to the DKNY show in a tartan frock, leather jacket, and bold red lip, we’re pretty sure she helped the brand gain a few new fans.

Emmy Rossum

The actress may have looked adorable in her lacy white number at the Monique Lhullier show, but we love when she shows off her sexy side, too, like she did with leather pants, a peplum top, and wavy locks at the Yigal Azrouël show.

Karolina Kurkova

Many stars bundled up for the chilly New York weather, but the supermodel started spring early at the Rag & Bone show with a hot-pink blazer, distressed jeans, and chevron-print stilettos.

Zendaya Coleman

Looking at the singer’s oh-so-chic black and white ensemble at the Charlotte Ronson show — complete with sleek shorts and a killer high bun — it’s hard to believe the 17-year-old beauty is so style savvy at such a young age.

Bella Thorne

It may be a simple crop top and midi pencil skirt, but the Disney Channel actress looked super chic in this sporty, minimal ensemble at the Lacoste show.

Cat Deeley

We loved her snakeskin-print look at the Diane von Furstenberg show, but the So You Think You Can Dance host looked divine in the one-shoulder printed dress she donned at Monique Lhullier.

Jamie Chung

Chung is one of those faces that keeps popping up at NYFW this season, and if she’s going to continue wearing on-point outfits — like this strapless number at the Herve Leger show — we’ll be happy to see her again and again.

Victoria Justice

Designer Mara Hoffman loves a good print and Justice looks really cute in them, so we hope this is the first in a long line of front row appearances for the actress at Hoffman’s shows.
