Suki Waterhouse Went Pantless—Again!—at the Michael Kors Show
Just a day in, and this New York Fashion Week is already shaping up to be quite the star-studded affair. In terms of major celebrity spotting, the Michael Kors presentation is always one of the most well-attended events, and yesterday’s spring 2026 show did not disappoint—with A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Ariana DeBose, and Olivia Wilde sitting in the front row.
Singer Suki Waterhouse was another such star. The English musician, who is no stranger to attending a glitzy fashion week, told Vogue she always looks forward to a New York jaunt. “I love to be here at this time of the year, as summer is ending and NYFW always kicks off,” says Waterhouse. “There’s an infectious energy, and it’s just the best place to be! I’m savoring every hour. I can’t wait to walk down by the Hudson.”
Naturally, Waterhouse had to make time in her busy schedule to flex a statement look for the occasion. (After all, she is currently balancing pulling off live performances and being a mom to her and Robert Pattinson’s baby girl.) Styled by superstar duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn (who you’ll find prepping everyone from Jennifer Lopez, to Gwen Stefani, Cara Delevingne, and Lily Collins for their red carpet appearances) the star went rockstar-chic in a shaggy black Michael Kors Collection vest, paired with leather knee boots and opera gloves. “Well, somehow, this is the second Michael Kors show I’ve showed up to without trousers,” she jokes. (Last season, she wore a tailored black bodysuit with yet another fabulous shaggy coat.) In terms of glam, Waterhouse looked to hairstylist to the stars Owen Gould (a fave of Barbara Palvin and Kirsten Dunst) for her signature ’70s shag haircut. Makeup artist Benjamin Puckey was also on hand for a dramatic winged eye, too.
As she saw the new collection saunter down the catwalk, Waterhouse was already eyeing pieces to wear next season. “Can we talk about those sparkly finale pants?” she asks cheekily.
Her NYFW trip was a whirlwind, and it’s already back to work mode for Suki Waterhouse, who is preparing to embark on a new tour with Laufey this month. “Getting to tour with Laufey is going to be such a unique experience. I’m so excited to be around someone that who is so singular in her vision,” says Waterhouse. “There is no one else like her and I am honored to have the opportunity to tour with her and meet her fans.” Of course, Waterhouse comes with the tour wardrobe to match her hazy, romantic pop sound—think 70s-inspired glamour with lashings of that 2000s indie-rock aesthetic, all furry coats, ruffled blouses, and clompy platform boots.
