Christian Siriano and Sergio Hudson showcased their spring/summer 2026 collections on Friday evening. Siriano’s collection featured designs inspired by old Hollywood glamour, using actress Marlene Dietrich as his muse.

The runway included mainly black-and-white gowns and suits, with bright colors appearing later, culminating in vibrant bubble-hem dresses and large top hats. Siriano aimed for a cinematic feel that transitioned from classic black and white to color. Celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Lizzo attended the show.

Sergio Hudson described his collection as a “reset,” focusing on suits rather than the dresses that retailers preferred. His designs included custom zebra and cheetah prints, silk suits, and bold colors, all with precise tailoring. The embroidery was inspired by African tribe scarification patterns. Celebrity attendees at Hudson’s show included Mary J. Blige, Natasha Lyonne, and gymnast Jordan Chiles.
