For her first-ever New York Fashion Week, Amber Midthunder sure picked a good show to attend. The breakout star of Hulu’s Prey, who plays a Comanche warrior onscreen, subbed in her trusty bow and arrow for a patchwork leather shoulder bag to check out the New York label’s spring 2023 collection at the Park Avenue Armory. (Which is probably a good thing, because the weapon would never make it past security.)
Like the past few seasons, Coach drew a massive crowd, including Doja Cat, Charli XCX, and Hari Nef, who recently starred in the brand’s campaign with Tom Wesselmann. And like the Instagram teasers led you to believe, none other than Lil Nas X made his runway debut, announcing his new title as global ambassador for Coach. Midthunder’s carefully chosen outfit—a lace floral minidress adorned with a bow, combat boots, and the aforementioned bag—fit in nicely with the rest of creative director Stuart Vevers’ assortment, which largely referenced the sartorial past (think: varsity sweaters and jelly sandals).
The presentation started like a movie, with choreographed vignettes of characters interacting on a New York pier, conveying the randomness and unpredictability of the city. But before that, Midthunder shared her getting-ready process for the main event. Keep scrolling to see how she styled her look.
