Lily Collins made a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week after a long absence. She wore a glittering, glittery co-ord that echoed the minimalism of the 1990s to the Calvin Klein Spring 2026 show. In addition to being the face of Calvin Klein's most recent campaign, her appearance highlighted the emotional full-circle moment this presentation signified for her.
A Glamorous Comeback in Sparkling Style
On 12th September, Lily Collins, well known as Emily from 'Emily in Paris,' made a stunning return to New York Fashion Week. Her debut at the Calvin Klein Spring 2026 show was a nostalgic full-circle event rather than merely a fashion moment. Lily thought back to her adolescence, when she would wait outside designer events to see the glitz.

She now took center stage in a glittering co-ord ensemble as the face of Calvin Klein's Spring 2026 campaign. Exuding 90's Calvin Klein minimalism with a contemporary twist, the silver set included a sparkling bra top and a skirt adorned with scale-like sequins. She accessorized with white handbag, stiletto shoes, and rosy lips and "soap nails" to maintain a fresh beauty look.
A Campaign with Meaning & A Nod to the Past
For Collins, who just collaborated with Calvin Klein as the face of their most current campaign, this occasion held greater significance. She loved the brand's vintage advertising images as a child and frequently clipped them out of magazines. It seemed like a dream come true to be a part of the show, especially with Veronica Leoni as the new creative director.

Collins commended Leoni's strategy for fusing ageless minimalism, stylish layering, and comfort, all of which were evident in the SS26 collection.
Beyond fashion, Lily's appearance at the show signified her comeback to the spotlight following the conclusion of Season 5 of 'Emily in Paris' and her decision to become a surrogate mother earlier this year.
