Lilly Pulitzer Is Hungry for the Future. Its Spring 2026 Collection, Though, Reaches Back Into the Archives.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The seaplane whizzing above Lilly Pulitzer’s spring 2026 runway show, staged at Key West’s classy, upscale Casa Marina hotel, was no coincidence. The Lilly team — detail-obsessed and lighthearted all at once — used the opening detail to honor one of their brand founder’s most iconic, caught-on-camera moments, when Pulitzer is seen dashing out of a just-landed plane, circa 1963, with multiple fabric swatches in hand. While the grand entrance’s significance went over the heads (literally and figuratively) of many of the show’s front-row attendees, it was clearly taken straight from the archives, just like the SS26 Lilly Pulitzer launch at large. The label’s Vintage Vault is as extensive as you can imagine, with many of the original (and now-reissued) prints having been hand-painted right in Key West, making the presentation a kind of homecoming.

Inside the Gotham Awards 2025: A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, Julia Roberts & More

All eyes were on the Gotham Awards on Monday night. For the film industry, the first major awards ceremony of the season offers a temperature check — or boost — for the months ahead. The future looks bright for frontrunners like “One Battle After Another” and international contender “It Was All an Accident,” the major winners of the night. But first, the fashion. “ This is Schiaparelli,” said “Lurker” director Alex Russell, detailing star Haley Rose Liu’s metallic gown as he held onto her Keyhole clutch. “This dress is made out of an extremely fragile fiber,” he added. “As you see, the hand details here, iconic Schiaparelli. You’ve got the lock. So it’s all very nice. Shout-out to Daniel Roseberry.” In the theme of shout-outs, the pair offered up a few of their favorite films of the year — for Liu, it was “Hamnet” and “Sentimental Value,” which she saw during Telluride. “A lot of the movies that were at Sundance with me, I feel like a lot of kinship with them,” said Russell. “‘Sorry Ba...

Rihanna Plays With Proportions in Dramatic Balenciaga Look for the Gotham Awards 2025 With A$AP Rocky

Rihanna brought volume and theatricality to the 2025 Gotham Awards red carpet in a look by Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli on Monday night in New York City. The singer accompanied her partner, A$AP Rocky, who was nominated for Breakthrough Performer for his role in “Highest 2 Lowest.” Styled by Jahleel Weaver, the Fenty Beauty founder’s look played with proportions, with a shapeless, off-the-shoulder bubbled bodice and drop waist, transitioning to a skirt with a flowing train for added dramatic flair.

Kristina Bumphrey Rihanna added a pair of black leathery gloves to her look for added mystique, while the feathery hat she wore atop her straightened black hair continued the slight playful inspiration behind the look — derived from a selection in the Spanish luxury fashion house’s spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. To further augment her attire, Rihanna wore jewelry pieces that complemented...

November 5 will forever go down in history as the day Oprah Winfrey announced her Favorite Things picks for 2025 — prompting the internet to collectively lose its mind over the gift ideas she called “little luxuries, cozy comforts, and clever finds,” for everyone on your list.
