Delvey’s presence at Fashion Week wasn’t limited to this one show. Earlier in the week, she was spotted front row at Christian Cowan alongside singers Sam Smith and Kesha, and just days before, she had walked the runway for Elena Velez.

In September 2023, while under house arrest, she hosted a fashion show on the roof of her New York City apartment building for the Shao fashion label. She has been a regular at Fashion Week events since then, even walking in Shao’s show this past September.
