Molly Ringwald stole the show at the Batsheva Fall Winter 2024-25 runway, exuding elegance in a black velvet midi-dress and lace-trimmed velvet muff. Her presence marked a triumphant return to the runway, surrounded by a diverse cast of women like poet/lawyer Vanessa Place, art advisor Racquel Chevremont, and fashion editor Marilyn Kirschner. Designer Batsheva Hay’s inclusive vision extended to models from a local dance studio, adding joy to the runway.
Hay’s collection explored identity, showcasing black velvet dresses with ample arm coverage alongside daring lace ensembles, challenging age-related dressing norms. Leopard faux fur capelets, satin swagged skirts, sashed sequin dresses, and irreverent “Hag” sweaters celebrated individuality and self-expression, embodying a blend of style and irreverence. Rejecting the pressure to appear youthful, Hay’s designs embraced confidence and authenticity, offering ageless elegance with a playful twist. The collection stood as a testament to inclusivity and self-assurance, celebrating women of all ages with dignity, beauty, and whimsy.
