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 soirée at the newly opened Crane Club Restaurant, where fashion’s finest gathered to toast the season ahead.
Serving Signature. If it’s black, fitted, and Alaïa—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 best—black, fitted, and utterly sleek. Her Alaïa ruched crushed-velvet turtleneck midi dress felt like a natural continuation of her 2024 style streak. If the dress looks familiar, that’s because we’ve already seen it twice before—on Georgina Rodriguez and Dua Lipa in a sheer, embellished variation.
But let’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 Nef’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. It’s a textbook example of why layering works—without those trousers, the tunic alone might have felt too flimsy for a winter soirée.
And let’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 exactly—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 that’s okay.
A Tale of Two Outfits In One
Thomas Doherty’s look had potential… 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 could’ve been a winning moment. Instead, it feels like an outfit with an identity crisis.
