The city of Milan is transformed from Italy’s center of commerce to a global fashion hot spot during Milan Fashion Week, drawing in the biggest names in the industry. Stars from far and wide booked flights to the style capital to show off their take on current trends.
Running from Sep. 17 to Sep. 23, Milan Fashion Week spring ’20 featured shows and presentations from powerhouse brands like Moschino, Fendi, Versace and more, with Kaia Gerber, the Hadid sisters and even Jennifer Lopez gracing the runways.
Victoria’s Secret Angels Doutzen Kroes and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley traded the catwalk for the front row in order to watch J-Lo walk the Versace runway in a near duplicate of her iconic deep-V green dress. For the event, Kroes went with a glittery yellow minidress for the show, pairing it with one of the biggest current trends: metallic thin-strap sandals.
