Before the 2022 Emmys, Regina Hall Is Living Up Her First New York Fashion Week

Regina Hall is taking a break from her busy movie schedule and enjoying the sites and styles of New York Fashion Week for the very first time. 

The Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. star attended Kate Spade’s recent spring 2023 presentation in downtown Manhattan, channeling spring in a pink-and-black, mix-and-match ensemble featuring pinstripes and florals, which she accessorized with embellished floral sandals and a white patent leather Kate Spade bag. 

And while the Girls Trip star had the allure of a seasoned Fashion Week veteran, the actor revealed to Vanity Fair that this was her first go-around at New York’s weeklong fashion fair. 

“It’s my first time at New York Fashion Week, so Kate Spade is poppin’ my New York Fashion Week cherry,” she said amid the fashion presentation, which transformed the 78th floor of 3 World Trade Center into a bright, sun-showered spring day. Wall-to-wall window views of the New York City skyline were dotted with white balloons arranged to resemble clouds, with a light, waterfall-style rain falling behind the colorfully clad Kate Spade models. 

“The truth is, I lived in New York for 12 years and Kate Spade is so synonymous with New York, but this is my first trip to Fashion Week. And at this point, I just love the brand. It’s sophisticated, but it’s still fun. It’s bold and it’s chic. It’s like me in a lot of ways and the personality of me,” Hall explained.

The star—who was in good company at the fashion event, as fellow attendees included Rebel Wilson and Ziwe—went on to share the rest of her plans for the weekend, revealing that while she had been to fashion presentations and events, she had never experienced a live runway show. 

“I’m looking forward to a lot. I am going to go to Jason Wu…I love Jason. And I’m really excited because I’ve never actually seen a live show. I was driving down the street the other day and we saw all these photographers, and I was like, ‘I wonder who is in there?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, it’s a show.’ And of course we found out about five minutes later that it was Janet Jackson who was there at Christian Siriano. It’s all so exciting to see,” the actor said. “Fashion has always been so important for New York, but it’s so global as well. So it’s amazing to see all of these designs first.”
