Before the awards were handed out and honors presented at Tuesday night’s WWD Honors, celebrity and fashion guests gathered for a red carpet and cocktail hour inside Cipriani South Street in New York.
Guests included Jennifer Lawrence, Madelyn Cline, Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Myha’la Herrold, Kathryn Newton, Thomas Doherty, Hadley Robinson, Alyah Chanelle Scott and Reece Feldman, Heléne Yorke and more.
Lawrence was on hand as a guest of Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was honored with the John B. Fairchild award. The pair first met when Chiuri took over as Dior’s womenswear designer some seven years ago, when the designer attended a photoshoot with Lawrence.

“She has such a cool energy and she has a way with shapes and shaping things for a woman. I feel like a modern, cool, beautiful woman in her clothes.”
Aside from her design abilities, Lawrence admires Chiuri’s “over-enthusiastic work ethic,” she said. “She just has the kindest heart.”
“The Sex Lives of College Girls” star Scott and boyfriend Feldman walked the red carpet together, with Scott saying she made a last-minute outfit swap for the night.
“I had a dress that I was going to wear but didn’t have time to get it altered — so I found this at a thrift store,” she said of her pantsuit.
As for Feldman, “I wanted to look like a used car salesman,” he explained.
“That was the word he said,” Scott confirmed.
Newton had opted for a “classic Dior look” for the night, in honor of Chiuri. “Even my makeup I tried to be a little inspired by her, because she wears dark eyeliner.”
The actress has been staying busy during the SAG-AFTRA strike, as she doubles as a golfer.
“Isn’t that weird how much I’m golfing? I was just in Rome for the Ryder Cup, which was the best time,” she said. “That one makes you feel kind of like a rock star, and I think I was acting like a golfer, which made me play better.”
Herrold, who wore a pink Courrèges ensemble for the night, said that ahead of Halloween she was still plan-less — but has a costume idea in mind.
“I think I want to do Princess Mononoke,” the “Industry” star said.
Doherty, meanwhile, is leaving that planning up to his girlfriend.
“I never dress up for Halloween and I really should. I think I could do, like, Scooby Doo or something. A classic,” he said. “Or Rick and Morty. [My girlfriend] will be Rick.”
