Christian Siriano Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear

“Girls, where’s Adam Lambert?!” Moments before the Christian Siriano show kicked off in Chelsea, a flurry of nervous PRs scattered around the venue in search of the last VIP guest to arrive. (Eventually Lambert sauntered in, wearing a fabulous coat-dress.) Panic over a MIA celebrity is not an unusual sight at a Siriano show, which always draws a starry crowd: His front row this season included other notable names including Katie Holmes, Tiffany Haddish, and Laverne Cox. And no wonder: Siriano once again delivered an array of theatrical gowns and sexy suits that practically beg for a Hollywood red carpet appearance. “I was really inspired by this idea of futurism and modern technology this season,” said Siriano post-show, “as well as the lines and curves found within the auto world.” While Siriano often leans into extravagance, his opening looks felt decidedly more sober this season—in shades of black and red, a hue that is often associated with love, power, or anger. “I was thinking of that iconic red car that you grew up loving,” said Siriano. But power, whether intentional or not, did seep into Siriano’s red assortment: His corseted, latex-like gown laced up the back had a sense of severity, and his blue cocooned mini dress, restricting one arm on the interior, had an edge to it. The clothes seemed to nod to the fact that there’s a lot to be on edge about in these times—whether the worrisome political climate or the future of the economy. (Siriano himself had a Toyota parked right in the middle of the catwalk, a nod to his inspiration but also a blatant form of product placement—someone’s gotta pay those hefty production bills.)
