A whole slew of A-listers turned out in Brooklyn to celebrate the iconic brand DKNY's 30th anniversary on Monday night. Stars including Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Ashley Benson, Nina Agdal, Charlie Puth and Suki Waterhouse gathered at DUMBO's St. Ann's Warehouse, clad in their best DKNY looks for the red carpet and party.
Because it's New York Fashion Week, there were plenty of top models to be found, including Victoria's Secret Angels Sara Sampaio Alessandra Ambrosio, who posed together with Instagram-worthy balloon fixtures.
After a bass-heavy DJ set from The Martinez Brothers, Halsey played an intimate concert featuring some of her biggest hits.
Delevingne announced the popstar, saying, "I’m very very grateful to be on the stage right now to introduce a friend of mine who’s going to give you the show of a lifetime.”
Halsey opened with Bad at Love, wearing white boots, flare legged jeans with a double zip, white suspenders and a tank top. She played a punk rock-inspired set for the fashion crowd and at one point, her mic stand hit someone in the front row. At the end of her show, she apologized to the fan with a quick hug.
“It’s good to be in Brooklyn, I’ll tell you that much," the artist said before launching into Now or Never. Halsey, born Ashley Frangipane, chose her stage name based on a Brooklyn subway stop.
"It’s really cool to be here," she announced before saying, "All of you motherf****rs would’ve been way too cool to talk to me," about the high fashion crowd.
She thanked DKNY and said, "It’s a company that I’m really f***ing proud to be representing right now."
"My 25th birthday is in two weeks [but] it turns out DKNY is a lot older, today is their 30 anniversary," she told the rapt audience.
She closed the show with Without Me, the emotional single she penned about ex-boyfriend G-Eazy. Her next single, Graveyard, comes out this week.
Conor Kennedy, Just Drew designer Andrew Warren and YouTube star Jackson Krecioch were seen dancing the night away after the Halsey performance. Victoria's Secret Angel Winnie Harlow was also spotted dancing in the audience.
The fashionable night out ended with a nostalgia-inducing vegan ice cream truck as well as party favors from Milk Bar, including their famous compost cookies.
Guests picked up merchandise on their way out, showing off hats and t-shirts that are sure to remain mementos for the next 30 years.
