New York Fashion Week‘s has officially hit Manhattan — but for Barbie Ferreira, the September shows are already finished.

“I’m going home tomorrow!” Ferreira proclaimed in an exclusive interview with FN on Wednesday night. “I’ve been out of town for almost a whole year, so I’m excited to have the next few months at home.”

During the occasion, the “Euphoria” actress hit the pink carpet — alongside stars including Pamela Anderson, Halle Bailey, Julia Fox and Ashley Park — for Pandora’s outdoor Fashion Week party. The Diamond District-themed occasion celebrated the accessory brand’s new campaign and lab-grown diamond jewelry line, complete with a performance by singer Caroline Polachek.

While attending, Ferreira dished on her go-to heel heights for formal occasions — particularly as she opted for a set of Jimmy Choo‘s kitten-heeled Moni pumps to competent her new bangs and a cutout dress.

“I love a kitten heel,” Ferreira shared. “I find that when I’m wearing a really high heel, it ruins my night — but I’ll do it! For the look, I’ll give it up — I’ll have a sh-tty day for the look. But if I want to enjoy it, I’ll wear a shorter heel.”

The moment also found Ferreira reflecting on her history with jewelry; the actress’ most meaningful pieces in her collection have been gifted by her grandmother and mom, who she even matches necklaces with. In fact, the “Unpregnant” star shared that jewelry’s distinctly personal nature, to her, is what gives the category such a special feel.

“I think it just evokes a lot of emotions for people,” Ferreira said. “When I was a baby, I had a gold bracelet as a newborn, I got my ears pierced really young. It’s very cultural, too. So, I think it’s just special — I think jewelry is something that you treasure and you take care of, and that’s beautiful.”

NYFW is held in New York City in September, marking the start of Fashion Month. The spring 2024 season will see a calendar of fashion shows and presentations from a range of designers, including Ralph Lauren, Christian Siriano, Proenza Schouler and more. The occasion will also include numerous parties and activations from brands like Aldo, J.Crew, MCM and more.
