Jess Hart delivers her most memorable NYFW appearance yet.
Jess Hart delivered the kind of effortless glamour that makes Fashion Week worth watching. Spotted at the ALICE + OLIVIA presentation during New York Fashion Week, the Australian supermodel and LUMA Beauty founder arrived draped in a sweeping faux fur maxi coat, commanding every lens on the block. The February air barely registered — she was radiating enough star power to heat the entire front row.
The look set social media alight, with fashion editors and street style photographers alike stopping mid-stride to capture the moment. Hart's connection to ALICE + OLIVIA runs deep — she walked the brand's Spring 2015 NYFW runway — so her return to the brand's world felt less like a coincidence and more like a homecoming.
With her signature gap-toothed smile and a stride that belongs on a runway, Hart reminded the world exactly why she's one of fashion's most enduring faces. This was NYFW at its most cinematic.
Every great NYFW moment starts with an unforgettable coat, and Jess Hart's choice of the MARVIN FAUX FUR MAXI COAT was nothing short of iconic. Sweeping to the floor in rich tipped faux fox texture, this oversized, full-length statement piece gave the street outside the venue the energy of a runway finale.
Crafted entirely from 100% recycled polyester, the Marvin proves that responsible fashion and showstopping glamour are not mutually exclusive. The dramatic silhouette does the heavy lifting — pair it over the sleekest basics and watch it elevate everything underneath. Hart wore it open, allowing the luxurious weight of the coat to frame her look rather than conceal it — a masterclass in proportion dressing.
Beneath the drama of the Marvin coat, Jess grounded the look with the LENNOX LEATHER LEGGING — and the pairing is nothing short of genius. The ultra-fitted, mid-rise silhouette sculpts the leg with glove-like precision, crafted from buttery-soft 100% stretch lamb leather that reads as pure luxury up close and pure edge from across the street.
The Lennox's clean waistband and sleek back zipper closure give it a polished, intentional finish that anchors the softness and volume of the faux fur coat above. It's the ultimate high-low tension: opulence above, sleek severity below. This legging isn't an afterthought — it's the spine of the entire outfit, pulling the look from costume into something genuinely chic and wearable.
The piece that ties it all together — and the one editors couldn't stop photographing — is the EDIE SEAMED CORSET BUTTON DOWN. Crafted in a fluid, draping 100% cupro fabric, it bridges the masculine architecture of the classic button-down shirt with a deeply feminine, waist-defining corset structure. The boning and hook-and-eye closures carve a silhouette that is at once tailored and sensual.
Worn tucked into the Lennox legging with the Marvin coat draped over the shoulders, the Edie becomes the tonal centerpiece — its structured waist visually elongating the body before the coat's full-length hem takes over. Back smocking adds subtle texture and ease at the back, while the hidden placket keeps the front sleek and intentional. It's the kind of shirt that makes the whole outfit feel considered rather than thrown together — which, in Jess Hart's case, is simply her natural state.
Jess Hart is, at her core, a woman who dresses entirely for herself — and that is precisely the woman ALICE + OLIVIA was built for. Stacey Bendet has long championed a design philosophy rooted in joy, confidence, and self-expression: clothes that make women feel powerful on their own terms, not on anyone else's. Hart's trajectory — from Victoria's Secret runway to founding LUMA Beauty, from Sports Illustrated covers to opening Australian Fashion Week 2025 — reflects that same refusal to be put in a box.
Her history with the brand stretches back to the Spring 2015 NYFW runway presentation, and her return to ALICE + OLIVIA's world in 2026 feels entirely organic. The NYFW collection she wore — rich in texture, bold in proportion, and undeniably glamorous — is ALICE + OLIVIA at its most confident. Hart wears it like it was made for her. Because in every way that matters, it was.
The Jess Hart
Wear all three pieces together as Jess did — Edie tucked into the Lennox legging, Marvin draped open over both. Add a pointed-toe heel and a miniature evening bag. This is NYFW street style in its purest, most aspirational form.
Weekend Edge
Pair the Lennox leather legging with an oversized knit and ankle boots for a weekend look that borrows just enough attitude from the runway without trying too hard. The leather does the talking — keep everything else pared back.
Layered Luxe
Throw the Marvin Faux Fur Maxi Coat over a simple slip dress or monochrome separates for an evening look that needs zero accessories to make an impact. Let the coat be the statement — because it always is.
Polished Downtown
Style the Edie Seamed Corset Button Down tucked into tailored wide-leg trousers for a sophisticated downtown look that transitions effortlessly from a gallery opening to dinner. The corset silhouette adds instant drama to the simplest of ensembles.
