Emily Ratajkowski dialed up the after-dark drama in a plunging noir slip—equal parts minimalist and magnetic—at W Magazine’s NYFW fête, where cocktail chatter met high fashion flash.
There’s something about Emily Ratajkowski that makes even the simplest silhouette feel like a manifesto. At W Magazine and Bloomingdale’s New York Fashion Week celebration on September 11, 2025, she didn’t just arrive—she punctuated the evening with a look that whispered ‘90s nostalgia while nodding to the new wave of pared-down sensuality.
Ratajkowski wore a black dress that walked the line between restraint and revelation. The deep neckline plunged with precision, offering a clean vertical line that elongated her frame without veering into excess. The fabric—likely a silk or satin blend—caught the low lighting with a soft gleam, adding depth to the otherwise monochrome palette. The cut was body-skimming but not clingy, a masterclass in balance. No visible embellishments, no loud prints—just pure silhouette. It’s the kind of dress that doesn’t beg for attention but earns it.
She paired the look with black high-heeled sandals—minimal straps, maximum impact. A small handbag dangled from her left hand, understated and functional, likely chosen more for its proportion than statement. Jewelry was either absent or discreet, letting the neckline and bare shoulders do the talking. The synergy here was clear: every element served the dress, not the other way around.
Lily Collins shimmered through the streets of New York in a fringe-trimmed silver set—equal parts retro disco and modern minimalism—at Calvin Klein’s Fall 2025 debut.
Lily Collins doesn’t just wear clothes—she narrates them. And on September 12, 2025, at Calvin Klein’s highly anticipated New York Fashion Week presentation, she told a story of late-summer defiance and high-gloss nostalgia. While most attendees leaned into autumnal layers and moody palettes, Collins arrived like a flashback to Studio 54—if it were restaged on the sidewalks of SoHo.
Her look? A two-piece silver ensemble that caught every glint of daylight and smartphone flash. The crop top, delicately fringed at the hem, flirted with movement as she waved to fans. The matching knee-length skirt hugged her frame with a tailored ease, balancing sparkle with structure. The fabric—likely a sequined or metallic weave—offered a tactile shimmer that felt more tactile than techy. It’s a silhouette that Calvin Klein rarely leans into, but under Veronica Leoni’s new creative direction, it felt like a fresh pivot: sleek, celebratory, and unapologetically feminine.
Collins carried a small silver handbag that echoed the texture of her outfit without competing for attention. Her strappy high-heeled sandals—also metallic—elongated her legs and added a touch of architectural sharpness to the otherwise fluid look. Jewelry was minimal, if present at all, allowing the outfit’s reflective surface to act as its own ornamentation. The synergy here was unmistakable: every piece was chosen to amplify the shimmer, not dilute it.

Chase Sui Wonders brought a moody twist to party dressing—her floral noir mini was equal parts indie darling and downtown provocateur, lit by violet haze and flashbulbs.
There’s a certain kind of fashion week attendee who doesn’t just wear a look—they haunt it. Chase Sui Wonders, ever the cinematic chameleon, arrived at W Magazine and Bloomingdale’s New York Fashion Week celebration on September 11 with the kind of presence that makes you pause mid-scroll. No red carpet theatrics, no overworked styling—just a dress that felt like a whispered secret in a room full of shouty trends.
Her short black dress, scattered with delicate white floral motifs, struck a balance between romantic and nocturnal. The fabric appeared lightweight, with a subtle sheen that caught the purple party lighting like moonlight on ink. The silhouette was classic mini—fitted bodice, gentle flare—but the print gave it a vintage edge, somewhere between 90s Kate Moss and Sofia Coppola’s Virgin Suicides. It wasn’t loud, but it lingered.
Black shoes—simple, unfussy, and perfectly in tune with the dress’s quiet drama—grounded the look. No visible jewelry, no bag, no distractions. The synergy here was restraint: letting the print and cut do the talking while everything else whispered in support. It’s the kind of styling choice that feels deceptively easy but is, in fact, razor-sharp.
This look taps into a broader revival of indie sleaze and post-Y2K minimalism, but with a softer, more introspective twist. It’s not about being seen—it’s about being remembered. Wonders’ dress could’ve walked straight out of a celebrity photos archive from a 2005 Nylon party, yet it felt fresh, relevant, and quietly rebellious.
