There’s no doubt that New York Fashion Week is all about the clothes, the shows, and the celebrity spectacle. But this is NYC we’re talking about, and a celebration of fashion and artistry would not be complete without some big nights out. With NYFW’s spring 2026 season running from September 11-16 comes a rush of VIP dinners, soirées uptown, strategically scheduled galas, runway show after parties, and bona fide ragers for those daring enough to go to Bushwick on the late-night (for the Luar show or otherwise). This season’s fêtes started early, as has become the NYFW standard—with Miu Miu throwing an It-girl-filled parlor party for the launch of their new fragrance Miutine on Friday, September 5. The events are still rolling in—so check back here often as we follow the biggest and buzziest celeb-filled parties of New York Fashion Week spring 2026.
On September 9, J.Crew fully transformed the storied downtown landmark, 190 Bowery, into a full townhouse of style where guests Mark Ronson, Grace Gummer, Leslie Bibb, LaKeith Stanfield, BJ Novak, Anna Sawai, Lukas Gage, Eva Victor and more wandered through a series of themed rooms—think stripes and cashmere—before partaking in a seated candelight dinner curated by chef Flynn McGarry ahead of the opening of his new restaurant, Cove.
The evening opened with a set by Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange, performing tracks from his just-released album Essex Honey.
Between courses, Chloe Fineman and Liza Koshy kept the crowd entertained with comedic interludes and a call-and-response chant of “We say J! You say Crew!—J! Crew!”
Of course The Dare kept his shades on at J.Crew’s pre-New York Fashion Week party.
Two quintessential New Yorkers, Bethann Hardison and Mia Moretti caught up before dinner.
Sorry Baby star, writer and director Eva Victor looked right at home in the throwback J.Crew themed office.
While Lakeith Stanfield lounged in the J.Crew studio.
On Monday, September 8—three days before fashion week was officially set to begin—the pop star Tyla could be found walking Pandora’s pink carpet in New York City for the jewelry brand’s new Talisman collection. The night prior, Tyla was given the Best Afrobeats award for her song “Push 2 Start” at the MTV VMAs. At the party, she wore baubles from the Pandora collection, which features coin motifs and, of course, plenty of charms.
FKA Twigs performed at the party, which was held at The Halo in Long Island City.
Alex Consani, Meg Stalter, Ciara, and many more were in attendance.
Walking through the doors of New York’s Cafe Zaffri at The Twenty Two hotel on Friday night and immediately spotting Chloë Sevigny in head-to-toe Miu Miu only means one thing: New York Fashion Week is fast approaching. While the first runway shows were still a few days away, Miu Miu kicked things off early by throwing a bash to celebrate the global launch of their new fragrance, Miutine, on September 5.
Laura Harrier led a parade of It girls, which included Paloma Elsesser, Lola Tung, Zaya Wade, Emma Chamberlain, Lori Harvey, Amelia Gray, Ziwe, and Sunday Rose. But what else would you expect from a Miu Miu shindig?
While the parlor-like front room of the party space included chessboards and backgammon, the back room felt like a speakeasy. An empty stage suggested the eventual arrival of a surprise musical guest. In this case, it was Maggie Rogers, who had a surprise of her own: she invited singer-songwriter Claude on stage with her for a duet.
