NEW YORK – Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing Tommy Hilfiger can't do.
The designer brought together an A-list crowd for his spectacle of a New York Fashion Week show at the famed Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan Thursday afternoon.
The front row brought together some of the winners of the summer that brought New Yorkers together: New York Knicks stars and NBA Finals champions Josh Hart, Miles McBride and Karl-Anthony Towns (plus Towns' new wife, Jordyn Woods), as well as "Love Island USA" winner Trinity Tatum, all of whom New Yorkers cheered on while gathered at watch parties in summer 2026.
A gaggle of onlookers and perhaps 100 photographers crowded the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the massive stars in attendance
Sept. 10, including Kate Moss, former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, Jisoo, Camila Cabello, Patrick Schwarzenegger and more.
Screams penetrated the air both indoors and outdoors: Former "Real Housewives" star Lisa Rinna exclaimed as she ran into actor Lukas Gage, and fans outside screamed for K-pop princess Jisoo.
A string quartet and waiters with silver trays of champagne greeted guests as they entered the historic New York City hotel. Hart was among the early arrivals, easily spotted in a front row that also included singer Coco Jones, actress Madelaine Petsch, Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum and "Power" star Michael Rainey Jr.
Tommy Hilfiger NYFW show: Gigi Hadid, Romeo Beckham walk the runway, Slayyyter slays a surprise performance
As if the front row weren't enough to turn heads, supermodel Gigi Hadid opened the show, confidently strutting out in a slightly oversized beige blazer, white shirt, bright tomato red trousers and complementary navy bucket hat and pocket square.
The collection was quintessential Tommy Hilfiger: preppy, bright and effortlessly cool. The looks had a lived-in quality about them, with faded logos atop sweatshirts and dresses, jackets casually flung over quarter-zips or button-down shirts with slightly loosened ties. And prepare yourselves: The popped collar is back, as is the double (and at times triple) polo look, with multiple collars peeking through.
As the final few models hit the runway, the string musicians started playing an instrumental version of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind," with Towns and Anthony bopping their heads and singing the words of the song.
Romeo Beckham, the devilishly handsome son of David and Victoria Beckham, closed the show in a red-and-black plaid look, following his London Fashion Week runway walk in February.
Before the models returned to the runway, viral newcomer Slayyyter hopped on the microphone to perform her hit "Unknown Loverz." As the models walked the runway for the finale, Slayyyter launched into her upbeat song "DANCE..."
For his closing bow, Hilfiger literally ran out with his big, fluffy white dog propelling him forward as he waved to the crowd, stopping to kiss his wife on the way out.
