MILAN (AP) — Colman Domingo, Liam Hemsworth and Noah Schnapp were among
the celebrities who packed the Ralph Lauren front row during Milan
Fashion Week on Friday for the launch of a Milan-centric season that
includes dressing Team USA for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics.
Domingo was fresh off the Golden Globes red carpet, Hemsworth took a
break from the ski slopes, and Schnapp just wrapped the “Stranger
Things” finale. Ralph Lauren's runway collection for next winter was
Americana, featuring layered outerwear, Texan suiting and hand-knit ski
sweaters.
Hundreds of screaming fans waited outside the brand's Milan palazzo for
K-pop star Mark Lee, rushing his vehicle as he stepped out to give fans
a big heart sign. The Canadian-born singer said that K-pop’s massive
appeal continues to catch him off guard.
“It surprises me even to this day. I was born in North America, and even
then K-pop wasn’t this big,’’ Lee said from the front row before the
show. “I am honored to be able to be a part of this phenomenon. I feel
like it’s kind of my responsibility to share the good influences that I
have in K-pop, for the world.’’
During the show, singer Nick Jonas and actor Tom Hiddleston flanked
David Lauren, the fashion house’s brand and innovation leader who will
be back in Milan as Team USA is fitted for the opening and closing
ceremony looks for the Feb. 6-22 Games.
After the release of Stranger Things’ final season, Schnapp said he is
reading scripts and looking perhaps beyond the sci-fi world. “I’m pretty
proud of what we have done. I am happy to close it out. I think it’s
time. I am excited about what’s to come,’’ the 21-year-old actor said
before the show.

 “I love Italy, I love the Italian
people, and I love this brand,’’ said Schnapp, wearing a smart
double-breasted Navy jacket with golden buttons. The University of
Pennsylvania senior said he would be back in Italy in a couple of
weeks to watch some Olympic ice hockey games with his Canadian-born
parents.
“They made sure I was educated in the hockey culture,’’ Schnapp
said.
Domingo turned heads at the Golden Globes with a lapel full of
Boucheron diamonds. For Ralph Lauren, he wore Boucheron stud
earrings to accompany his three-piece suit with a matching overcoat
flung jauntily over his shoulders.
Domingo, a darling of the fashion world who won an Emmy for
“Euphoria,” said the collection felt “very modern.”
“We were watching sort of Texas tuxedos and cowboy hats, cowboy
boots, we’re looking at Navajo prints, at beautiful jewelry. Things
that look vintage and things that are looking forward. We’re looking
at mountaineer boots — which I thought was very bold to put in the
conversation as sort of effortlessly luxurious,'' the actor said.
Domingo said he admired the American versatility in collection, as
at home outdoors as at a cocktail party.
“I think that is the most beautiful expression of Ralph Lauren. You
feel the aspirational American values in your clothing,’’ Domingo
said.
