鈥淕rowing up for me, he was the standard,鈥� Winfrey added, 鈥渘ot just for dressing, but for home life and for what it meant to be surrounded by beauty and excellence and form and structure, and appreciating everything about your own life.鈥�

Winfrey came to Lauren鈥檚 show Wednesday for the first time since he took over Central Park for a lavish 50th anniversary extravaganza in 2018. There, she had toasted him for half a century 鈥渙f designing our dreams.鈥�

Wednesday鈥檚 show was what Lauren calls one of his intimate ones, using his own design studio on Madison Avenue, decorated cleanly and sparely with white couches. Still, 鈥渋ntimate鈥� for the 85-year-old designer still means fans lined up five rows deep outside the building, eager to snap photos of celebs like Winfrey and her friend Gayle King, Nick Jonas, Usher, Laura Dern, Mindy Kaling, Naomi Watts and many others.

What guests inside saw was a Spring 2026 collection that leaned strongly into Lauren鈥檚 signature menswear-for-women look, with roomy but tailored jackets open to reveal bralette tops, paired with wide trousers or skirts. The key color for jackets and coats was crispy white, as in the very first item, a long white polo coat open to reveal a black bra top with black trousers.

The color palette was mainly white and black 鈥� accented with red. Sometimes the red was just in a bow around the neck. There were also a few dresses in brilliant red 鈥� one more casual, with spaghetti straps, and another lush, strapless silky gown to close out the show. As for accessories, many of the ensembles were accented with chunky silver pendants, and some with huge floppy hats.

Kaling said Lauren’s work had been important to her immigrant family.

鈥淗is vision was very emblematic (of) the American dream for my parents, who are immigrants,鈥� Kaling said. 鈥淧articularly my dad, wearing the polo symbol was so like the sign of making it.”

On the sidelines of the show, David Lauren, the brand’s chief branding and innovation officer as well as Ralph Lauren’s son, reflected on a moment of pride for the label 鈥� the with Swift wearing a casual striped Polo Ralph Lauren dress in photos she posted on Instagram.

鈥淲e鈥檙e always proud to work with Taylor,鈥� David Lauren said. 鈥淪he鈥檚 worn our clothes for years, and to be part of a romantic moment in her life, it鈥檚 a great moment for us.”
