NEW YORK – Ready or not, here she comes.
Just when you think you know Tory Burch's next move, she subverts expectations and continues her reign as one of the most interesting American designers today.
The designer brought out a cadre of stars for her New York Fashion Week show Thursday, Sept. 10, at the Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi in downtown Manhattan. Though far from an underground designer, Burch took her show to subterranean levels before she reached new heights with her collection and her front row, which included a fashionably timely Lauryn Hill, flanked by daughter Sara Marley and niece Kymora Marley, as well as actress Amanda Seyfried, "Saturday Night Live" alum Chloe Fineman and fashion power broker Anna Wintour.
Alex Eala, the young newcomer who dominated at the US Open until her defeat by best friend and fellow young star Iva Jovic, also joined along with emerging talent Ravyn Lenae and established celebrities like Padma Lakshmi and director Janicza Bravo.
Hill, in oversized sunglasses and an olive-green cinched top and tiered skirt with a silk scarf draped delicately over her head, garnered camera flashes from every angle. Perched atop her lap (and on the arms of everyone in the front row) was Burch's newly released Bunny Knot bag, with Hill's in a ****** er yellow color with the dark knot detailing looking like polka dots.

Amanda Seyfried went for an earthy color palette while attending the Tory Burch spring 2027 show during New York Fashion Week on Thursday. For the event, the actress paired one of the brand's most popular shoes with a fall-ready brown-and-green look. Amanda Seyfried attends the Tory Burch spring 2027 show. Getty Images for Tory Burch She opted for the Tory Burch Peep Toe pump, which has been a favored choice among celebrities in recent years. The peep-toe pump riffs on the classic style with a twisted, sculptural heel, designed to look as if it is in motion. Rather than reveal several toes like a traditional peep-toe silhouette, the cutout frames only the hallux, or big toe — a highly specific footwear trend that surfaced at Copenhagen Fashion Week at the end of August. Grosgrain details and side seaming borrow from balletic pointe shoes. The pumps were made in partnership with a Leather Working Group-certified tannery, which supports high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management. Their twisted heels measure 90mm, or approximately 3.54 inches, while a cushioned leather footbed offers comfort. The shoes also boast a patent leather upper and grosgrain binding. Napa leather lining and a buffed leather sole complete the construction. A closeup

Amanda Seyfried brought easy, breezy glamour to the 83rd Venice Film Festival. She arrived by water taxi in a cornflower-blue minidress that slipped playfully off her shoulders. The actress waved to photographers, embracing a look that felt right at home against Venice's striped poles and golden light.
Amanda Seyfried stuns in off-shoulder Miu Miu minidress at the 83rd Venice Film Festival. Seyfried wore Miu Miu's Poplin Mini Dress, a vivid blue design cut from crisp cotton poplin. The dress featured a ruched, off-the-shoulder neckline and short puffed sleeves. This gave it a relaxed, vacation-ready silhouette that still held its own on a red carpet-adjacent occasion. A subtle logo tag peeked out from the sleeve, a quiet nod to the house's signature detailing.
She paired the dress with Miu Miu's Satin Ballerinas in black, keeping the footwear simple and low-key. For her bag, Seyfried chose the label's Solitaire Patent Leather Bag, also in black, a structured top-handle silhouette that added a polished, glossy contrast to the dress's soft, matte fabric.
The jewelry came courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Seyfried wore the brand's Victoria Pearl and Diamond Earrings, featuring a single pearl drop beneath a diamond-studded star motif, along with the Knot Double Row Ring, a sculptural design finished in diamonds. Both pieces added a delicate sparkle without competing with the dress's bold color.
Her hair was pulled back into a sleek, low updo, drawing attention to the dress's statement neckline, while her makeup stayed soft and dewy, fitting for a daytime festival appearance.

Amanda Seyfried captured a cool, off-duty Italian summer vibe in a sheer cardigan and micro shorts, completing her look with a Miu Miu bag. On September 6, the "Jennifer's Body" star was spotted leaving Harry's Bar in Venice with a friend during the Venice International Film Festival.
For her nighttime outing in Paris, Amanda Seyfried wore a lightweight, sheer knit cardigan ****** oned up over a crisp white layer. The cardigan featured vertical ribbing and a cropped length, which revealed a sliver of her toned midriff. Below them, she wore high-waisted denim cutoff shorts with raw, frayed hems, giving the outfit an easygoing, laid-back edge. The shorts put her long legs on full display.
Styled by longtime collaborator Elizabeth Stewart, "The Housemaid" star brought an elevated, high-fashion polish to the casual outfit. She carried a chic black Miu Miu Shiny Leather Bag. The structured bag featured short top handles, a glossy sheen, and signature gold-tone hardware. Its reflective finish created a sharp, sophisticated contrast against the casual denim and soft knit texture of her top.
On her feet, she kept things comfortably cool with a pair of Miu Miu Satin Ballerinas in black. The shoes featured a dainty bow on the toe and a branded elastic strap across the instep. Further, she kept her beauty styling simple for the night out. Her soft, natural blonde hair tumbled over her shoulders. Meanwhile, her makeup featured glowing skin and a berry lip.
Earlier that day, Seyfried paired the same shoes and bag with a Miu Miu poplin mini dress. The cornflower blue dress featured a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline. Short, puffy cap sleeves framed the elasticized neckline, adding a bit of sweet, retro flair. She completed her look with Tiffany & Co. earrings and Miu Miu Ciel sunglasses with pink lenses.

Suki Waterhouse graced the red carpet alongside her fiancé, Robert Pattinson, for the screening of his new film "Primetime" during the 2026 Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5 in Venice. The duo was dressed formally for their red carpet moment.
The "Back in Love" singer's Lavalliere-Cuff mini dress hailed from Saint Laurent and was constructed out of a mossy green lace fabric. The delicate construction consisted of a high neck and long sleeves adorned with mauve silk bows at the wrists. Said bows were worn undone, tapping into Waterhouse's rock star aesthetic that is slightly disheveled but always flattering.

Even Hollywood's brightest actors aren't immune to doubts about their biggest career moments. Despite the glitz, fame, and awards, some stars privately took issue with the very roles that made them household names, whether it was the script, the direction, or just how the project was received. Here's a look at the faces behind famous characters, and why these A-listers weren't always thrilled by the performances the world will never forget.
Pierce Brosnan's suave portrayal of James Bond cemented his image in pop culture, but he's been honest about feeling restricted by the role's formulaic demands. Back in 2005, Brosnan told CBS News about how the character "never felt real" for him, and how he felt "shackled by some contracted image," troubled, in particular, by the "stupid one-liners." Despite global fame, Brosnan struggled to inject depth into the iconic source and longed for greater creative freedom. His candidness sheds light on the pressures faced by actors entrenched in blockbuster franchises.
Katherine Heigl's turn as Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy won her an Emmy and legions of fans, yet she publicly criticized the show's writing and ultimately withdrew her own name from award consideration. Heigl won Best Drama Supporting Actress in 2007 in a shocking upset, per Gold Derby. In 2024, she shared her reasoning, saying she "did not feel that she was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination" and therefore didn't submit her name or work for contention, as reported by TODAY. Heigl's frankness about her frustrations ignited industry debates about actors speaking out against their own work.
Josh Brolin shot to wider fame with roles like Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he's spoken out about the mixed feelings that come from being recognized mostly for a CGI villain. For Brolin, playing a CGI character for a comic book film presented a unique challenge from an acting standpoint, and he revealed at his spotlight panel at New York Comic Con 2024 that he was able to lock into playing Thanos by channeling Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now, according to Popverse.
Amanda Seyfried became a staple of romantic comedies and musicals, yet her breakout as Karen Smith in Mean Girls left her ambivalent about being typecast as the "dumb blonde." While Seyfried acknowledged that Mean Girls helped her rise to stardom and got her "foot in the door," she noted that fighting against being pigeonholed was a constant battle, noting that without landing her role on Big Love, she was at risk of becoming forever defined as Karen Smith, as reported by Game Rant. Seyfried's journey is emblematic of rising above your own reputation in Hollywood.

Fan Bingbing attended the 2026 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea.
Seeing the Chinese actress in this Richard Quinn Spring 2026 design confirmed one thing for me: I simply don't like it.
When Amanda Seyfried wore a similar design last year, I thought it was just a case of the dress not suiting her. Now I'm convinced the design itself is the issue, because if Fan Bingbing can't make this gown sing, I'm not sure anyone can.
That said, the styling didn't do it any favours. The opera gloves felt like one flourish too many, and the gown appears too long for her frame. The dents across the satin skirt only highlighted the fit issues, distracting from the sculptural details that should have been the focus.
Richard Quinn is usually so adept at balancing drama with elegance, but this look never quite comes together. Does this style need another chance, or, like me, will you be glad to never see it again?

Amanda Seyfried wanted to show Sydney Sweeney some sweetness.
As the Housemaid actress recalled, she did her best to be there for her costar after Sweeney was caught up in controversy following her 2025 campaign for American Eagle jeans.
"I don't talk to her about it unless she wants to talk about it," Seyfried explained to British GQ in an interview published June 15. "I don't want to be a source of anything, but whatever you need. You need some fun, you need to laugh, you need cake with me? That's fine."
At the same time, the 40-year-old knew it would likely be a difficult period for Sweeney as she dealt with both The Housemaid promotional tour and backlash over the American Eagle campaign, which critics accused of advocating for eugenics by using the double entendre of "good jeans" and "good genes."

Amanda Seyfried has opened up about the intense period that followed her comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk last year.
Shortly after an ****** assin murdered Kirk in September 2025, Seyfried commented on an Instagram Reel montage of the Turning Point USA founder's most controversial statements, writing: "He was hateful."
After receiving backlash from Kirk's supporters, Seyfried clarified in a separate Instagram post: "I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk's murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable."
In a new interview with British GQ, Seyfried revealed she had to hire a bodyguard in the wake of the furor.
"A, I'm allowed to f***ing voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that's not unkind necessarily. But there's just an outsized fear and hatred and impulse to bash and to tear down. And I experienced a very small fraction of that," The Housemaid star said.
