Fans got their first glimpse of Keys’s new ensembles at the Tampa show. Some of her favorites? “I love the Pucci [outfits]; I love that they’re very colorful, and how the fabric glows,” she says. (One look with a cape, top, and pants is made of reflective material.) Another highlight is the custom Valentino creation, also complete with a dramatic cape coat. “It feels quite elegant and chic,” says Keys. “I love the drama of the cape, and the beading. I have these stairs that I walk down, and the way that it falls down the stairs is so incredible.” Keys says that what she wears can meaningfully impact how she shows up before an audience. “I see fashion as performance,” she says. “Fashion is art it’s a beautiful expression of who you are, and who you’re going to transform into.”
As one of the four members of the South Korean girl group Aespa, Karina is no stranger to traveling around the world. Of late, the group has been jetting across Asia for their Synk Hyper Line Tour, where they’ve been performing hits off their new EP, My World. But this week, Karina took a break from all of that to attend the Thom Browne show in Paris. “I love Paris so much,” the singer tells Vogue. “I always try to walk around the neighborhood even when I’m on a short trip. I love the museums, art galleries, and simply walking on the streets of Paris brings me great joy.” The Thom Browne presentation, held at the Palais Garnier, was a special affair for Karina marking not only her first couture show, but also her first time attending any fashion show without the rest of her group. “I was nervous but excited at the same time,” Karina says. “I was really honored to be invited; it was a new and enjoyable experience.” As a couture newbie, the star says she was struck by the theatricality of it all. “The acting element incorporated into the show really amplified it, and added richness to it,” she says. (A Thom Browne show is always a spectacle, after all.) “When the show started, the opera house was a full theater and there was this drama that just made it even more grand and magnificent.”
