Nia Sioux Stuns In ALICE + OLIVIA at New York Fashion Week

Front-row glamour, Gen Z energy, and a look worth stealing.

By: ALICE + OLIVIA Editorial Team | Published: February 2026

At the ALICE + OLIVIA September 2025 New York Fashion Week presentation on September 13, 2025, dancer, actress, and Gen Z powerhouse Nia Sioux turned heads in a standout ensemble from the brand: the sheer lace Tess Tee paired with the wide-leg Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant. The look — part downtown cool, part maximalist statement — perfectly captured the playful confidence that ALICE + OLIVIA is known for, and cemented Nia Sioux's place as one of NYFW's most memorable front-row guests.

The Moment: Nia Sioux at ALICE + OLIVIA NYFW 2025

All eyes were on the dancer-turned-fashion-fixture at September's most talked-about presentation.

On September 13, 2025, the ALICE + OLIVIA NYFW presentation was exactly the kind of event that reminds you why Fashion Week exists. Among a guest list that included Naomi Watts, Nicole Scherzinger, Julianne Hough, Jamie Chung, and Hilaria Baldwin, Nia Sioux stood out — not just for who she is, but for how she wore it.

With 9.6 million TikTok followers and 6 million on Instagram, Nia's attendance guaranteed the kind of organic social amplification that money can't buy. Every outfit choice becomes a moment, every front-row appearance a declaration. At ALICE + OLIVIA's presentation, hers was unmistakably intentional.

The atmosphere was electric — a room full of tastemakers, cameras, and creative energy — and Nia Sioux delivered the kind of effortless glamour that makes Fashion Week worth watching. Her look wasn't just stylish. It was a statement.

The Tess Tee: Sheer Confidence

Every great outfit starts with a foundation that earns its place, and the TESS TEE is exactly that. Crafted from sheer lace in a fitted, cropped silhouette with a clean crew neckline, this is a baby tee that has grown up — without losing any of its charm.

On Nia Sioux, the Tess Tee did what only the best wardrobe pieces can: it held its own while letting the rest of the look breathe. The delicate lace adds texture and femininity, while the cropped length defines the waist and creates the perfect proportion for a high-rise, wide-leg pant. It's the kind of piece that looks like you tried just the right amount.

Made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane, the Tess Tee offers a comfortable, form-fitting feel that moves with you — whether you're front-row at NYFW or out in the city after dark.

The Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant: Maximum Impact

If the Tess Tee is the whisper, the ERIC VEGAN SNAKESKIN PANT is the headline. Wide-leg, low-rise, and front-pleated in a vegan python print, this is a pant that commands a room before you've said a word.

Paired with the fitted lace Tess Tee, the Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant creates the kind of proportion play that fashion editors live for: a slim, cropped top balanced against the generous, sweeping volume of a wide leg. The snakeskin print adds directional, maximalist energy — unexpected, unapologetic, and undeniably cool.

Crafted from 96% polyester and 4% elastane with belt loops and a front hook-and-zipper closure, the Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant is designed to be worn with intention. This is the piece Nia Sioux chose to make her NYFW moment iconic — and it's easy to see why.

Why It Works: Nia Sioux & ALICE + OLIVIA

A Gen Z icon meets a brand built for women who dress for themselves.

Stacey Bendet founded ALICE + OLIVIA on a singular belief: that fashion is a form of self-expression, and that the most powerful looks are the ones worn entirely for yourself. Nia Sioux — dancer, actress, author, and multi-hyphenate creative — lives that philosophy out loud. From her debut memoir Bottom of the Pyramid to her expanding acting credits and her debut EP Guilty Pleasure, Nia has spent her career defining herself on her own terms. That's precisely the energy ALICE + OLIVIA designs for.

At the September 2025 NYFW presentation, the pairing of Nia Sioux and ALICE + OLIVIA felt less like a celebrity appearance and more like a natural alignment. The collection's blend of playful confidence and elevated edge — sheer lace meeting bold print, femininity meeting maximalism — reflects a woman who knows exactly who she is and dresses accordingly.

How to Style It: Four Ways to Wear the Look

The Nia Sioux
Wear the Tess Tee tucked into the Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant and finish with strappy heeled mules and minimal gold jewelry. This is the NYFW-approved outfit in its purest form — cropped lace meets bold print for a look that's effortlessly editorial.

Weekend Edge
Break up the set and style the Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant with a simple white tank and white sneakers for a high-low contrast that feels fresh and relaxed. Save the Tess Tee for a night out layered over a bandeau for a cool, sheer effect.

Full Sparkle
Lean into the maximalism of the snakeskin pant by pairing the complete look with an embellished clutch and statement earrings. Let the print be the jewelry — the Tess Tee's sheer lace provides all the texture you need.

Layered Luxe
Layer the Tess Tee under a tailored blazer for a polished take on the sheer trend, then pair with the Eric Vegan Snakeskin Pant for a sophisticated ensemble that transitions seamlessly from afternoon to evening.
