This season marks the very first time that the Parisian fashion house staged its show in New York. Celebrating his 10th anniversary at Givenchy, designer Riccardo Tisci presented a whimsical spring collection of romantic, flowing gowns, lace slips and chemise dresses that richly contrasted in black and white to a front row attended by the likes of Julia Roberts, Uma Thurman and the Kardashian-West clan. For beauty, gold or lace appliqué face masks decorated with crystals provided a nice complement to Givenchy’s hardware-heavy face jewelry masks from fall.

Modern-day supermodels, like Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldrige and Gigi Hadid rocked Diane von Furstenberg’s ‘70s-themed runway in easy-breezy metallics and colorful prints that celebrated the 40th anniversary of the iconic wrap dress. The revival of the one-shoulder dress paired with a beauty look of glimmering lids and disco curls was a nod to the glamorous Studio 54 party days of yore.
