The Most Surprising Models of Fashion Week Spring 2027

Celebrities are always an integral part of fashion week. In the era of Instagram, press tours, and brand partnerships, runway shows have become another another outlet for both brands and big names to mutually benefit from the relationships. But these days, just getting a few A-listers to sit front row at your show is expected. Getting them to don a look and walk the runway is the new frontier.
Celebrities are becoming almost as prevalent on the runways as models themselves, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still act with surprise and glee every time we see, say, Saweetie round the corner or Ricki Lake appear from behind the curtain. In New York, the former talk show host popped up alongside fellow actors Bebe Neuwirth and Ivy Wolk at the Susan Alexandra and Rachel Antonoff show. Conner Ives, who presented in New York for the first time, celebrated his innagural stateside show with some help from the dolls. But we are just getting started, and there are sure to be many more unexpted appearances as fashion month continues making its way across the globe. So keep checking back here as we keep track of all the surprising models of the spring/summer 2027 season.
