Jenny Packham has teleported her designs from New Mexico and Georgia O’Keeffe’s ranch to the skies above the desert and the light show from the stars at night.
The designer deliberately stayed away from Space Age fashion and Star Trek-style uniforms and instead focused on the colors of the sky, such as copper, gold, pink, and bright cobalt. “I was thinking about dynamic, strong silhouettes and empowered women,” said Packham.
She described the collection as “clean, crisp with bias cuts and low backs, a bit more undressed than in the past, and sultry.”
Packham’s gowns were mainly monochromatic, showers of copper or periwinkle sequins for strapless styles; a dusting of amber for one with cap sleeves and a high collar; cobalt for a slip dress, and rose and gold for a sparkly goddess style with straps.
One long dark gown had built-up shoulders covered in silvery diamond shapes, while another came with a jacket covered in rocky crystals mimicking a meteor shower.
Others had long sleeves with starbursts of crystal around the collar or exploding down the side of a sleeve. Shorter styles came with strong-shouldered capes covered with silvery sparkles.
She also showed tone-on-tone looks, including a black dress with short sleeves and a high collar; a sheer black slip dress, and a deep V-neck gown, all with dark beading meant to mimic “the textures of space.”
Asked why she chose space as a theme, Packham said it offers a sense of “escapism – maybe there’s somewhere better out there.”
The Hollywood stars continue to buy into Packham’s brand of red carpet glamor. She’s been dressing women including Ana de Armas; Nell Fisher, star of the “Stranger Things” finale; Kristen Bell, who wore Packham’s Lana dress to promote the 2026 SAG Awards, and Rhea Seehorn, star of the new Apple TV series “Pluribus.”
