The evening honored Haider Ackermann of Tom Ford, Michael Rider of Celine, Bernard Arnault and more.
“It’s fun to show up for your retail partner,” said Tracee Ellis Ross, touching shoulders with Ulta Beauty chief executive officer Kecia Steelman. “Because they’re always showing up for us.”
The pair were walking the red carpet together — in coordinating red lipstick at that — on Tuesday evening at the 2026 WWD Honors Gala, where Ross was on hand to present Steelman with the Beauty Company of the Year, Public award.
Guests including Hannah Einbinder, Michelle Monaghan, François Arnaud, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Adrien Brody, Louisa Jacobson, Tommy Dorfman, Chloe Fineman, Rebecca Hall, Lexi Minetree, Lucy Freyer, Lilli Kay, Helena Christensen, Claudia Sulewski and more gathered at Cipriani South Street for a cocktail hour reception ahead of the evening’s program.
Monaghan, who was presenting The Center’s Ben Bennett with Beauty Company of the Year, Private, was enjoying some time in New York’s fall weather before heading back home to the heat of Los Angeles by the weekend.
“I had dinner last night with a girlfriend of mine, which was really nice. We went to Straker’s — it’s delicious,” she said. “I just like seeing the leaves change of course and just walking around the city. I always love walking around the city, but particularly this time of year.”
Fineman was also a big fan of the nice New York weather, or “‘You’ve Got Mail’ weather,” as she put it.
