Saks kicks off Fashion Week with Charli XCX, Big Freedia
Saks Fifth Avenue kicked off New York Fashion Week with a glamorous night at the members-only Aman Jazz Club, which featured musical performances…and lots of twerking.
Singer Charli XCX took the stage in front of guests including actress Emma Roberts – seated in a bench seat in a chic white dress – Alice + designer Olivia Stacey Bendet, Markarian designer Alexandra O’Neill, co -“Emily in Paris” stars Ashley Park and Paul Forman, Nicky Hilton, Julia Fox, socialite Ivy Getty and NYFW designer Fern Mallis.
“Are you ready for f-king fashion? For a whole fuckin’ week?” Charli asked before launching into her hit “Boys.”
Big Freedia, who just appeared on Beyoncé’s hit ‘You Won’t Break My Soul,’ then took to the stage, surrounded by pink-clad supporting dancers who sparkled and twerked onstage, later doing splits while bouncing to the song “Azz Everywhere.”
A couple of brave partygoers even got up there to show off their own moves, trying to bounce as well as the dancers. They partially succeeded.
After the performances, guests mingled with passing caviar and pizza, and it was all washed down with a tower of champagne.
‘Scream Queens’ star Roberts is the face of Saks’ new Spring 2023 campaign.
The following day, the “American Horror Story” alum jokingly called out his mother, Kelly Cunningham, for revealing her 2-year-old’s face on social media for the first time last week – without asking permission.

“When your mom posts your son’s face without asking but you love them both, it doesn’t matter,” she wrote via Instagram Stories.
