"There's always buzz before a Ralph Lauren show. Fashion devotees know that the American design legend puts on an unforgettable runway, whether by bringing guests to extravagant venues such as a glamorous ranch in the Hamptons (with horses!) or by hiring the industry's brightest supermodels to strut down its runways. For the label's Spring 2026 show, however, held on Sept. 10, it pared back on the location theatrics and let the clothes do the talking in an intimate setting at the company's Madison Ave. headquarters"
"While the fashion was sublime, filled with pieces that merged "strength and sensuality," the front row also practically doubled as a runway in itself: Laura Dern was spotted wearing pieces from a recent collection, for example, and other high-profile attendees included Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Chastain, and Mindy Kaling - all decked out in the brand. Behold, some of the chicest looks from the show's front row. Jessica Chastain The Scenes from a Marriage star channeled the dark romance aesthetic in a lacy LBD."
Ralph Lauren's Spring 2026 presentation took place at the company's Madison Avenue headquarters, foregoing theatrical locations to spotlight the garments. The collection combined strength and sensuality through lace, sheer fabrics, ruffles, tailored accents, and nods to Americana. The front row featured high-profile figures wearing the label head-to-toe, effectively extending the runway into the audience. Jessica Chastain wore a lacy little black dress with an ankle-length tulle overlay and matching heels. Laura Dern revived a sheer black-and-red floral dress with a ruffled high-neck bib and obi belt. Naomi Watts paired sheer mesh and lace with leather details; Elsa Hosk referenced a 1981-catalog look.
