From fashion executive to fashion model.
Jenna Lyons, former president of J.Crew and current “RHONY” star, recently made an appearance on the catwalk at Lingua Franca’s first-ever runway show. She was styled as a bellhop from the iconic Bowery Hotel, exuding a trendy and bold look.
During the show, Lyons walked her dog Popeye on a leash while sporting a top hat, a bear-printed button-up shirt paired with jeans, and accessorized with a red overcoat and velvet moccasins. These pieces were all part of the collection inspired by the downtown hotspot, showcasing a unique and chic style.
At the event, Jenna Lyons, who is 56 years old, joined a group of models who are close friends with Lingua Franca co-founder Rachelle J. Hruska MacPherson. This group included familiar faces like Molly Ringwald, Ivy Getty, and Jill Kargman, forming an impressive lineup for the occasion.
In the audience were even more celebs — including Lyons’ fiancée, Cass Bird, and her Bravo co-star Jessel Taank.
Taank even showed her support with her outfit, sporting a Lingua Franca cashmere sweater embroidered with the nickname she gave her friend: “Jenna F—king Lyons.”
Also in attendance were Katie Couric, Don Lemon, Susan Sarandon and Abigail Spencer.
The appearance comes one day after Lyons sat front row at the Marc Jacobs fashion show with two other co-stars, Sai de Silva and Ubah Hassan.
It was also the same night as the finale of the “RHONY” Season 15 reunion, which saw the fallout from Lyons defending Taank and her marriage against accusations from Brynn Whitfield.
Lyons also made waves at the reunion for her “dress,” which was actually a Balenciaga robe that she styled with a headwrap and De Beers diamonds.
“I just wanted to do something unexpected and playful,” she told the Daily Dish of the decision. “I can’t compete in the sexy dress category!”
She can certainly give the reality stars a run for their money in the model category now.
