Ralph Lauren Fall/Holiday 24 Runway Show: Celebrities fill the front row

Ralph Lauren is having a moment. More than fifty years since he started his fashion design company, #Ralphcore is trending on social media. Publications as diverse as the New York Post and Town & Country have reported on the phenomenon, an offshoot of the preppie ‘coastal grandma’ look whereby hip downtown New Yorkers are donning all manner of Polo shirts and Polo Bear sweaters.
With room for just 100 guests at his 650 Madison Avenue HQ, it made an invitation to watch his Fall/Holiday 2024 Collection all the more covetable.
The front row was a glamorous mix of celebrities, including actors and social media stars, all dressed in Ralph Lauren designs from current and previous collections

As for the show itself, in a press release Lauren said,
“The woman I design for has a beauty that comes from an inner confidence. She dresses for herself. Her style is personal and bold. She’ll throw a hand-tailored jacket over a glamorous evening dress. She believes in quiet sophistication not defined by time or trends. My Fall/Holiday 2024 Collection is inspired by that woman, her sense of timelessness, her individuality — a style that is forever,”

To drive home the point, the show opened with the iconic supermodel Christy Turlington walking the runway, while ‘Just the Way You Are’ by Billy Joel was played. In sum, 40 quintessentially Ralph Lauren looks were shown

At a post-show dinner at the Polo Bar, models in the glen plaid pant suits and long bias-cut slips they wore on the runway mingled with guests.
