Following Harlem Fashion Row’s annual Style Awards, Ralph Lauren formally kicked off New York Fashion Week (NYFW) with a star-studded fashion show.
Usher, his wife Jennifer, Oprah, Gayle King, Ariana DeBose, and Ryan Destiny were among the A-listers in the front row to get the first look at the brand’s Spring 2026 collection. While recapping the night out, Ursher said, “Stepped out to take in the elegance of the #RalphLauren Spring 2026 collection in good company.”
Coincidentally, he became the new face of Ralph Lauren fragrances back in July. “Usher knows what it takes to reach the top, to build a legacy that endures. A symbol of success and timeless style, he perfectly embodies the bold confidence of the new #RalphsClubNewYork,” said the brand of their ambassador on Instagram.
The crooner added in his own statement: “I have the greatest respect and admiration for what Mr. Lauren has accomplished and I could not be more happy and proud to join Ralph Lauren Fragrances. This is a brand that represents the best of who I want to be as an entrepreneur, a creator, and a man. I’m inspired and energized — this partnership feels like coming home.”
When speaking on the scent notes, he told Billboard, “We creating something that was a bit more sweet, with black currant being a very high note, and bergamot being something that you smelled at the top, and then lavender and sandalwood being something that was grounding the bottom. This is a very unique scent that would allow you to feel comfortable wherever you are.”
Usher also hinted at the partnership being part of his “next chapter,” adding, “It’s a next chapter of my season, and it’s the next chapter in my story. I feel like this is a really, really grand moment for me in terms of where I am, iconically and fashionably, it is something that feels very special in terms of the collaboration between myself and Ralph.”
