Lizzo flew in to attend Christian Siriano’s spring 2026 fashion show at Macy’s Herald Square on Saturday, taking a front-row seat among a lineup of high-profile attendees and praising the fit of her outfit.
The Grammy-winning singer and body-positivity advocate arrived after a six-hour flight and sat alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King and Heather Graham. Lizzo wore a flesh-toned corset topped with a transparent black sarong skirt knotted at the hip. "It feels snatched," she told a companion identified as Alexa, adding, "I feel loved, I feel hugged, I feel represented." Witnesses noted a playful moment as she tossed her hair, checked her nails and joked that she had walked her "fine ass" to the show.
Siriano’s spring collection emphasized dramatic, entrance-making silhouettes. The runway featured exaggerated sleeves, pouf skirts, mermaid tails and silken swags, with a sequence of black-and-white looks followed by a finale of vivid color. Standouts included a tuxedo dress wrapped with a cummerbund in violet and a series of bright orange, teal and hot-pink confections. The designer’s casting continued to reflect his recent practice of mixing ages and sizes on the runway.
Heather Graham attended in an ivory bustier and draped skirt, calling a bustier "definitely makes you feel sexy" while acknowledging it could be difficult to move in. "It’s a little bit hard to move around," she said, adding that she looked forward to dancing at the after-party and expressing a desire for more "sophisticated" dance venues in New York for people in their 30s and older.
The presentation at Macy’s Herald Square was part of New York Fashion Week’s schedule of designer shows. Siriano has built a reputation for theatrical eveningwear and an inclusive approach to model casting, traits that were evident in the mix of dramatic gowns and the diversity of the runway this season. The front row’s celebrity turnout and the collection’s emphasis on garments that make a strong visual impact underscored Siriano’s continued positioning as a designer for high-profile events and red-carpet moments.
