Ella Emhoff has been ruling New York Fashion Week on and off the runway this September. She was present and sitting front row at the Tory Burch spring 2025 show at The Refinery on Sept. 9, where she wore a blue and white patterned dress with the brand’s Pierced XL pump in red.
Emhoff looked ready for a garden party in a mid-thigh length dress with blue polka dot and bow patterns against a white background. From Tory Burch’s fall 2024 collection, the Taffeta Cap dress is made from lightweight nylon taffeta material.
The brand describes the $2,298 dress as “delicately smocked to create a fitted silhouette with an abstract effect.” The garment, which also comes in black and red versions, came into being because Burch found inspiration in a shower cap.

Emhoff switched up the color scheme with Tory Burch’s Pierced XL pumps in red. The shoe stands out with a piece of hardware adorning the vamp, contributing a shine to the outfit; additionally, a dainty blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pearl detail sits atop the piece of metal.
The shoe follows the silhouette of a traditional pump with a low curved vamp and a pointed toe, but switches things up when it comes to the relatively thick 3.5 inch heel, which slants inward to create a curved effect; this futuristic flair makes the shoe stand out amongst a crowd. From Nordstrom, the Pierced XL pump retails for $468. From Tory Burch, a slingback iteration with a low heel retails for $398.
Emhoff was not only present at Tory Burch’s presentation but also walked the runway for Coach in an I Heart New York shirt and ballet flats. Some of the other NYFW events she’s made appearances at include Proenza Schouler’s spring 2025 show and the Susan Alexandra X Rachel Antonoff dog show. The model and budding designer also wore Sperry boat shoes to Collina Strada’s summer 2025 “Touch Grass” presentation.
