While the Off-White show welcomed the grand return to New York Fashion Week and provided a unique moment in history with the supermodel “devirginizing” Lais Ribeiro as per the guest list, the Brazilian beauty was elated with the invitation of such a luxury outfit to this eminent fashion event. Another high-profile occasion in the realm of fashion was added to the list for the Victoria’s Secret Angel, who over the years has become quite familiar with the international show circuit.

Ribeiro posted this spectacular photo of her sitting at ease, clad in elegant black with zips for detail. The sleek, slim-fit black blazer, paired with hair pulled back chicly and an aura of calm grace, set the tone of style. The outdoor location with its rustic brick wall stood for an urban chic contrast to the uber-chic styling, probably the strongest argument for New York Fashion Week as a street-meets-runway spectacle.
It simply said: “Back in NYC to watch a beautiful show! @off____white thanks for having me 🖤 #nyfw”. Almost instantly, the post was very much noticed and commented upon by fans and fashion lovers who had been following Ribeiro’s career from her days as a model.
One old-timer reminisced: “I miss seeing my Lais walking in NY, Milan and Paris. PS: I’ve followed Lais since 2010 and the girl has the same face – she hasn’t aged at all. ❤️🔥 😍” This was in testament to Ribeiro’s presence all through the industry and an ageless beauty that has always been enthralling to the audiences.
Another admired her: “How beautiful you are! Jesus,” which seems to be a universal language among many pondering her stunning looks and model gait. The comments section was soon flooded with heart emojis and fire signs, a massive endorsement for her presence at the Fashion Week.
“The weakest sister of the Assembly of God 😂😂😂 But you look beautiful though! ❤️❤️” This playful mention to Ribeiro’s background gave the discussion a drifting undertone while still complimenting her looks.
Fans showed some sadness she was not walking in shows, with one writing: “Womaaaan where were you at the Victoria’s show?😢” This comment provides insight into how those who follow her have grown accustomed to seeing her strut the runway rather than sit on the sidelines.
The excitement was felt even with some international followers: “I missed you seeing at Fashion Week😍😍❤️❤️ iam happy you’re back!” This reflects on how Ribeiro’s international fan-base values her presence at these bigger fashion occasions.
The glam gang jumped on the occasion too, with makeup artist Stephanie Smith commenting: “Wow, my love you are GORGEOUS ❤ truly was a pleasure glamming you xx” – offering a peek into the behind-the-scenes of putting together such unstoppable Fashion Week moments.
A plus to the return speaks volumes about her ever-present force within brand-new fashion. This time around, she came back as a guest rather than walking, and the buzz among fashion lovers was undoubtedly enormous. Her ease at sustaining working relationships with giants like Off-White is another testament to her undying icon status.
Years ahead of an incredible career, Ribeiro nailed it with Victoria’s Secret, becoming one of their most resplendent Angels. Hence the transition of the fashionable model from the runway to attending fashion week seems like a wholesome evolution of a modelling career where old names just stop walking shows and start appearing as guests.
New York Fashion Week is still where Riberos hobnob with bigger names to rifle up star power for these events. Her lucid styling and poised personality make her the perfect interlocutor luxury labels want to spot at a show-the ideal merchandized excellence personified with a solid real-time social media link.
