We are once again in the midst of New York Fashion Week. NYFW is always an exciting time for fashion lovers, and this year’s Fall/Winter 2023 season started with a bang, thanks to Saks Fifth Avenue’s kickoff party at The Jazz Club at Aman New York.

The event was graced by several A-list celebrities, including Emma Roberts, Charli XCX, and Nicky Hilton Rothschild, who each brought their unique style to the event on February 8.

1. Emma Roberts Dazzles in Proenza Schouler Midi-Dress

Her blonde hair, highlighted and styled in soft waves, was parted to the side and gently brushed her shoulders.

2. Charli XCX Rocks in Ludovic de Saint Sernin

Charli XCX kicked off Saks’ opening party with a commanding performance, dressed in a striking, retro-inspired ensemble. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter rocked a blue denim lace-up minidress from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Fall 2023 collection.

The pleated skirt of her dress had two front slits, and the LdSS symbol was printed in large, bold letters all over the front and back of the garment.

Charli paired her outfit with black lace-up knee-high boots and a denim moto jacket from the same collection. The performer’s dramatic smoky wing eyeliner complemented her black tresses, left in a carefree hairstyle. She accessorized with silver hoop earrings, futuristic shield spectacles, and a black Coach shoulder bag.

3. Nicky Hilton Rothschild Channels Barbiecore in Alice + Olivia

Nicky Hilton Rothschild attended the prestigious event, channeling Barbiecore in an all-pink look from head to toe.

She carried a little sparkly Valentino One Stud embroidered purse embellished with a single rhinestone stud and accessorized with a Tiffany & Co. chain-link necklace and diamond stud earrings.
