Milan — A host of notable celebrities filled the front row at Ralph Lauren’s presentation during Milan Fashion Week on Friday, marking the start of a special season focused on the Italian city. The event also highlighted the brand’s role in creating outfits for Team USA at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
Among the attendees were actor Colman Domingo, who had recently appeared at the Golden Globes; Liam Hemsworth, arriving after some time on the ski slopes; and Noah Schnapp, fresh from completing the final season of his popular sci-fi series.
The collection showcased for the upcoming winter season drew on classic American themes, with pieces like multi-layered coats, tailored suits inspired by Texas styles, and cozy hand-knitted sweaters perfect for the slopes.
Outside the brand’s elegant Milan venue, crowds of excited fans gathered to catch a glimpse of K-pop artist Mark Lee. As he arrived, supporters surged forward, and he responded with a friendly heart gesture. The Canadian-born performer shared his thoughts on the global reach of K-pop, noting how its popularity still amazes him despite his North American roots. He expressed gratitude for being part of the movement and a sense of duty to promote its positive aspects worldwide.
Inside, singer Nick Jonas and actor Tom Hiddleston sat alongside David Lauren, the company’s leader in branding and innovation. The executive is set to return to Milan soon for fittings as the brand prepares the official opening and closing ceremony attire for Team USA athletes competing from February 6-22.
