GloRilla Performs at Coach and Amazon Fashion Official CFDA After Party
After the CFDA Awards, what is there to do but party?
Coach and Amazon Fashion rose to the occasion, hosting the official after party at the Central Park Boathouse. This year marked the return of after parties to the CFDA night since the pandemic — turns out, fashion people are as eager to party late on a Monday night as ever.
Coach’s Stuart Vevers made the rounds, greeting guests as they arrived. Angel Reese, Suni Lee, Winnie Harlow, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Alix Earle, Paloma Elsesser, Prabal Gurung, LaQuan Smith and more all attended, and many of them went on to make a second stop at Willy Chavarria’s party downtown later in the night.
Influencers who didn’t make the cut for the actual awards ceremony were early on the scene, getting their content in and lapping up coupes of Champagne. Earle, who’d attended the awards in Hervé Léger with designer Michelle Ochs, arrived post ceremony, posing for photos as other influencers looked on.
Charles Melton waved off photos, despite being a guest of Coach to the CFDAs, dressed by Coach, attending the Coach after party. Jonathan Simkhai was having a better night, dancing around and, at one point, dropping to do a one-armed push up.
Trays of cheeseburgers and french fries were popular, as was a table of gummy candy and macaroons. Outside, guests crowded around heat lamps and lounged on the sofas next to the outdoor bar — the October chill was nothing a glass of Champagne and a cigarette couldn’t fix.
Just shy of midnight, rapper GloRilla appeared for a performance.
“Shoutout to my guy Stuart,” she said, pointing toward Vevers. “He said I could call him Stu.”
Jeremy O. Harris and Paloma Elsesser were seen dancing along to her set, as Steven Kolb attempted small talk in the rear of the room.
Between songs, GloRilla made a rallying cry for tequila shots.
“I want y’all to get as lit as I am,” she said.
