Saks Hosts The NYFW Kick Off Party

New York Fashion Week is officially in full swing, and Saks Fifth Avenue made sure the celebrations started with a bang. On Wednesday evening, the iconic retailer hosted a star-studded soirรฉe at the newly opened Crane Club Restaurant, where fashionโ€™s finest gathered to toast the season ahead.

Serving Signature. If itโ€™s black, fitted, and Alaรฏaโ€”Laura Harrier is buying it

Laura Harrier made her second red carpet appearance of 2025, and in true Laura fashion, she stuck to what she knows bestโ€”black, fitted, and utterly sleek. Her Alaรฏa ruched crushed-velvet turtleneck midi dress felt like a natural continuation of her 2024 style streak. If the dress looks familiar, thatโ€™s because weโ€™ve already seen it twice beforeโ€”on Georgina Rodriguez and Dua Lipa in a sheer, embellished variation. Christian Louboutin Miss Z pumps completed her look.

But letโ€™s be real, when you find a silhouette that works for you, why reinvent the wheel? Laura exuded effortless sophistication, proving that sometimes, consistency is key.

Layers of Luxe

Hari Nefโ€™s oxblood crushed-velvet straight-leg trousers from the Ferragamo Resort 2025 collection gave this look a grounding, autumnal richness, while the printed silk tunic added an unexpected softness. Itโ€™s a textbook example of why layering worksโ€”without those trousers, the tunic alone might have felt too flimsy for a winter soirรฉe.

And letโ€™s not forget the Ferragamo oxblood leather pumps tying it all together.

Copy, paste, repeat

Did The Dare wear the same outfit from the Grammys? Well, not exactlyโ€”but close enough. He switched up the label but kept the energy identical, proving that when you know your style identity, you stick with it. While some might call it predictable, I call it commitment. Not everyone has the range, and thatโ€™s okay.

A Tale of Two Outfits In One

Thomas Dohertyโ€™s look had potentialโ€ฆ from the waist up. Unfortunately, the top and bottom halves seemed to be RSVPing to different events. If only there was a bit more cohesion, this couldโ€™ve been a winning moment. Instead, it feels like an outfit with an identity crisis.
