Early Monday evening, Tory Burch debuted her spring 2026 runway collection inside the lobby of One Hanson Place, a landmarked space located across the street from the Atlantic Terminal Mall and Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn. As sunlight beamed through the room’s Rene Chambellan metal window silhouettes, celebrity guests including Naomi Watts, Emma Roberts, Ciara, Jessica Alba, Tessa Thompson, Mary Beth Barone, Suni Lee, Janicza Bravo and more made their way to their front row seats, stopping for photos along the way.
”I’m the biggest Tory fan, and everything she does is elevated and beautiful,” said “SNL” star Chloe Fineman, dressed in a cranberry top and skirt that she first saw during the designer’s last runway show. “And just fell in love with it, so I’m excited to fall in love with her new collection,” she added.

Fineman has had a busy fashion week, attending shows for Michael Kors and Khaite, and hosting a party for her collaboration with Mother. “Just getting to see all my friends,” Fineman said of the week’s highlights. “And certainly Martha Stewart coming to my Mother party was not on my bingo card.”
For actress Avantika, this fashion week has involved an element of balance.
“This fashion week I’m filming actually for a new show with Mindy Kaling, who’s also here tonight,” said the actress, who shot her first fashion campaign when she was a teenager for Tory Burch. “I’ve been super busy, and so I wanted to be really intentional with the shows that I went to. Tory Burch was at the top of that list,” she added. “It’s so full circle to be able to sit at her show today, after having done a campaign so many years ago.”
She described the plot of her current project, “Not Suitable for Work,” as “five twentysomething-year-olds in Murray Hill, navigating career and love in New York. I play a celebrity fashion stylist assistant,” Avantika said. “She’s very much a fashion girl, and she loves Tory Burch — and so do I.”
Jeremy O. Harris, who sat with Burch at her Met Gala table earlier this year, was attending the designer’s runway show shortly after premiering his new film “Sacrifice” at the Toronto International Film Festival, which costars Charli XCX.
“ We got some really lovely reviews, and I’m really excited because I think we’re announcing our sale this week, which is really awesome,” Harris said. “I’m also really excited about the play that I’m producing Off-Broadway right now called ‘Prince Faggot.’ I really, really love it — and my new play, ‘Spirit of the People,’ is coming this season, so everyone look out for it.”
