Tom Ford Hosts Milan Fashion Week's Most Epic Front Row So Far
The collection took center stage, but the stars in attendance almost stole the show.
Milan Fashion Week just commenced, but Tom Ford has already staged a major front row moment. Ford, who presented his Fall/Winter Womenswear 2024-2025 collection this afternoon in Milan, brought out a force of stars that shimmered in the front row—a spectacle that was almost as exciting as the collection itself.
The majority of the A-listers in attendance wore all-black outfits, as if they had purposefully intended to amp up the ambiance of the star-studded front row.
First, there were the Hollywood legends. Basic Instinct actress Sharon Stone dressed in a maxi skirt that peaked out beneath a button-adorned coat, along with a pair of strappy heels to match. Nearby, Pulp Fiction star Uma Thurman dazzled in a shimmering leather blazer set‚ completed with an oversized black peacoat and a pair of heeled sandals decorated with dainty bows.
Other notable guests included model Jasmine Tookes, actor Iris Law, model Alek Wek, and director Elizabeth Banks, each dressed in their Tom Ford finest.
As for the notable men of the VIP group, Master of Air actor Callum Turner arrived in a tailored black leather jacket, a sleek button-down, and slim trousers which gathered at the hem over a pair of patent leather Chelsea boots. (Sadly, rumored girlfriend Dua Lipa was not in attendance with him.)
Dominic Sessa, breakout star of The Holdovers and fan-favorite for an impending fashion campaign, also decided to try the trousers-and-boots combination.
The sea of all-black outfits coordinated with Ford’s latest collection, which was dominated by a sexy-yet-moody atmosphere and a palette with deep tones. Models walked the runway in crisp leather black blazers, tailored black trousers, black dresses of varying silhouettes, and even skin-baring mesh black body suits.
