This New York Fashion Week, the sun and the stars came out for Veronica Leoni’s second Calvin Klein show, a presentation held at the East Village’s Brant Foundation and attended by the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Lily Collins, Rosalía, and Solange Knowles. On the runway, models walked in refined versions of styles and tropes seen daily in the city that never sleeps; some carrying sets of keys in hand, others throwing long coats over silk sets reminiscent of pajamas. The collection merged sleepwear with workwear, perhaps addressing the blurred boundaries between the home and the office.

Dressed to theme, Knowles attended the Spring/Summer 2026 show in a black and white set that, similarly, seemed to blur the line between evening attire and home-wear. In a modern yet timeless fashion, she paired an elegant backless top (which appeared on the runway in a dress version) with long, slouchy trousers and brown cow print slippers. For accessories, she went for thick sunglasses and chunky silver hoops, holding a leather clutch in the palm of her hand. Her skin glowed with a natural glam look, and her long hair fell in curls down her open back.

Joining Knowles in the front row, Rosalía also embraced runway motifs in her look, wearing a white sculptural dress made of the same crinkled fabric seen in silhouettes during the show. Others, such as Ratajkowski, pulled from Leoni’s Fall 2025 collection, her debut for Calvin Klein. All around, the stars shined.
