Aoki Lee Simmons returned to the runway for Sergio Hudson‘s fall 2023 show during New York Fashion Week.
While being cheered on from the front row by mom Kimora Lee Simmons, Aoki strutted at the Gallery at Spring Studios on Saturday night in a’ 90s-esque outfit instantly reminiscent of “The Nanny” protagonist Fran Fine. Her ensemble featured a black shoulder-padded dress with a full-length violet front zipper, piped pockets and breast pockets, cinched with a violet belt. Sheer black tights and a set of glossy black platform sandals streamlined the vintage-inspired ensemble with a dynamic, height-boosting finish.
However, this wasn’t Simmons’ only bold look in Hudson’s show. Her second ensemble — paired with the same towering platform pumps — featured a black cross-hatched denim blouse tucked into matching short shorts, cinched with a black leather belt. The ensemble brought a sharp take to “Canadian tuxedo” double-denim dressing for the JustFab collaborator, while retaining a distinct ’90s energy from its styling and texture.
