Australian actress Naomi Watts and Oscar nominee Lupita Nyong'o braved the snow to attend the Calvin Klein Collection show in New York on Thursday.
The pair sat in the front row with Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour.
Nyong'o is a breakout fashion star as much as she's a breakout movie star. If anyone didn't know that already, they knew it after she made her first appearance at New York Fashion Week.
Arriving at the CK runway show, dressed in pale pink, she was pursued by a crush of photographers, and it was no surprise: She looked as stunning as she has all awards season.
The 12 Years a Slave actress has established a strong relationship with Calvin Klein, said the label's designer, Francisco Costa, adding he was especially thrilled that she wore one of his dresses to accept her Critics' Choice award.
"We were very, very thrilled that she wore that amazing dress," he said.
"Seeing that picture with her award it was just magnificent, because she is a very urban woman. She's very intelligent, extremely talented and very cool, very today. And I think that dress made a very iconic moment for us."
Watts wore a bale blue, knee-length dress that had a high kneck. She accompanied her look with a black patent heels and purse.
On the runway, Costa presented a series of minimalist but inviting outfits, mostly knits. When a soft, fuzzy coat in ivory mohair came out, you could almost hear the crowd sigh, so perfect was it for the day's wintry weather. (Come to think of it, though, perhaps not for the huge puddles of brown slush that surrounded the entire block of the downtown venue.)
Costa said his collection was inspired by the idea of "downtown meets uptown".
"The sensibility is really expensive, luxurious, very Calvin, but also with a fun, of coziness of ... (wanting) to stay at home. And the whole exploration of sewing techniques. I would say 80 per cent of the collection was knitwear-based."
