September is the holy grail of the fashion calendar. From Burberry’s music festival-inspired mayhem to Diesel’s immersive egg hunt, shows across New York, London, and Milan have set the stage for high-concept runway experiences. Across the circuit, the front rows are dominated by some of the biggest names in global music. From K-pop to Punjabi hip-hop, these artists are not only topping international charts but also making waves at fashion shows. Here are the best-dressed musicians turning heads at fashion weeks around the world.
Badshah: Alexander Wang
Becoming the first Indian rapper to attend NYFW, Badshah donned an all-denim look for Alexander Wang’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection at 58 Bowery, New York. Diamond-studded brooches, made by skilled Indian artisans, were strewn across his baggy fit, blending homegrown craftsmanship and global style in one ensemble. This was the rapper’s second time attending a fashion show, after making his fashion week debut with Amiri earlier this year.
AP Dhillon: Burberry
Serving “Brown Munde” realness, Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon’s Burberry drip was one for the books. Layered in classic trench coats, tailored jackets, and suede boots, all proudly flaunting the Burberry logo, he commanded attention with every detail. All eyes were already on the runway as Creative Director Daniel Lee debuted his S/S ’26 collection — a gritty nod to British music festival culture, merging Glastonbury energy with Burberry’s craftsmanship and a splash of 1970s rock influence. Dhillon’s tasseled scarf was giving peak 2000s Shah Rukh Khan energy. It was a refreshing switch-up for the rapper, known for his baggy, stage-ready fits. Sporting a custom-made deep brown Burberry suit under Lee’s vision, he didn’t forget the essentials: his signature swagger. Chocolate brown is definitely his look. And of course, what is Burberry without its stripes? Seated front row alongside global icons like Jonathan Bailey and Elton John, AP Dhillon was every bit the moment.
Enhyphen: Prada
All seven members of the K-pop group Enhyphen graced the front row as global brand ambassadors, turning heads with their presence. Blending 1970s rock-band edge with signature Korean suave, their fits were tailored to reflect each member’s unique identity and personality. Leather, cowboy boots, soft rosettes, and fur-trimmed coats exuded a sense of rustic charm that united them stylistically. The collection, designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, an iconic duo, delivered as always, showcasing a sharp mix of utility, fresh color combinations, and innately chic accessories.
Kim Seokjin: Gucci
The heartthrob from BTS, Jin, made a striking appearance at Gucci’s short film premiere “The Tiger,” turning heads in a heavenly, billowy button-down shirt from the house’s “La Famiglia” collection. He paired the look with sleek black trousers, a subtle chain, and a purse, all emblazoned with the iconic Gucci logos. Fresh off his military comeback, his look cemented him not just as a brand ambassador but also as the underrated fashion icon that he is. This marked his third appearance for the brand, wherein he shared the front row with Serena Williams and Alia Bhatt. Jin’s presence alone was enough to send the BTS ARMY into an absolute frenzy. As he stepped onto the red carpet, the Palazzo Mezzanotte echoed with cheers, proving once again why he’s earned the nickname “Worldwide Handsome.”
Joshua (Seventeen) and Momo (Twice): Onitsuka Tiger
K-pop icons Joshua (Seventeen) and Momo (TWICE) made a power-packed appearance at Onitsuka Tiger’s S/S ’26 presentation, titled ‘Urban Fantasy.’ Both dressed in sharply tailored looks, they brought their signature flair to the front row. Joshua stuck to classics with a fitted jacket from Onitsuka, saving the drama for his standout shoes. Momo, as always, served face, topping off his look with a tasseled tie.
Bang Chan: Fendi
Stray Kids member Bang Chan caused a stir on the streets of Milan as fans gathered for a glimpse of the idol ahead of Fendi’s S/S ’26 show. As a brand ambassador, he made a bold statement in an all-black ensemble, pairing a sheer, laced-through shirt with a structured leather trench coat and tailored pants. The look was a striking contrast of tough and soft, embodying the K-pop idol’s innate versatility that extends not just sonically, but also stylistically.
S.Coups: Boss
Choi Seungcheol (Seventeen), known as S.Coups, made a headline-worthy runway debut, closing the BOSS S/S ’26 Womenswear show, “Paradox.” His runway cameo had him don an elevated ensemble featuring a head-to-toe BOSS look. The cherry on top was the dark brown leather trench coat with buttoned detailing, gleaming under the flash of the spotlight. Adding to that, in what can be termed a multiverse-of-madness moment, Indian actor Ishaan Khatter was spotted front row alongside British football icon David Beckham.
Hyunjin: Versace
The Versace “prince” Hwang Hyunjin received a royal welcome as fans and press swarmed him ahead of the Versace S/S26 showcase. The Stray Kids member, who earned the regal title from Donatella Versace herself, is also the Korean brand ambassador, alongside Ningning of Aespa. Posing in a statement black leather bomber jacket and signature Versace glasses, he gave a modern spin to the vintage Hollywood heartthrob archetype. Known for combining streetwear and luxury in a gender-fluid manner, the rapper, singer, and dancer is fashion’s favorite muse. He was seen in attendance alongside English model Romeo Beckham and Chinese actor Ding Yuxi.
