Inside Ralph Lauren: Christy Turlington on the Runway and J.Lo in the Front Row
After decamping to Los Angeles for a spectacular show last season, Ralph Lauren made a triumphant return to the New York calendar on Friday. After all, what is New York Fashion Week without the Bronx-born designer? Lauren and NYC go together like PB&J. To no one's surprise, the legendary brand attracted dozens of A-list celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Diane Keaton, Sofia Richie, and Gabrielle Union.
The runway was similarly starry, with Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova, and Mariacarla Boscono walking the show. Talk about a night full of icons. The only thing better than the celebrity and supermodel appearances? The fantastic designs.
Ralph Lauren described the collection in a statement: "My spring 2024 women's collection is about a new kind of romance—cool and sophisticated," he said. "It's about the freedom of creating a personal style through the artistry of faded denims and painterly florals, the modern sophistication of iconic shapes in black and gold, or the eclectic mix of bold colors, shine, and luxurious handcrafted details."

4 Things to Know About Ralph Lauren S/S 24
1. Supermodels Walked the Runway
Turlington, Vodianova, Imaan Hammam, and Boscono were among the supermodels leading the charge on the runway.
2. The Front Row Was Stacked
In addition to the celebrities pictured above, other notable guests included Julianne Moore, Laura Dern, Union, Amanda Seyfried, Mindy Kaling, Robin Wright, Anna Wintour, Cara Delevingne, Li Bingbing, and Keri Russell.
3. A New It Bag Made Its Runway Debut
Ralph Lauren's newest bag, the RL 888, opened the show (bottom right image). With its sharp angles, the handcrafted bag is inspired by NYC architecture. The RL 888 comes in a variety of colors and fabrics and is already available to shop online.
4. Jewel-Toned Eveningwear Stole the Show
By far, my favorite looks of the show were these amethyst-, emerald-, and topaz-hued pieces. It's only a matter of time before we see these stunning looks on the red carpet.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
