New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 witnessed the surprise debut of Vivian Wilson – the 21-year-old transgender daughter of billionaire Elon Musk and his ex-wife Justine Wilson. In just her first appearance, Vivian made a strong impression when performing consecutively on 4 major runways: Alexis Bittar, Prabal Gurung, Dauphinette and Chris Habana .
Vivian made her debut at the Alexis Bittar show, which was modeled after a fictional Miss America pageant. In a fiery red metallic gown with a “South Carolina” sash, she transformed into a powerful and proud beauty pageant contestant. Vivian wore her long, straight hair in a simple side part, both feminine and cool. Her makeup focused on a smooth, dewy complexion, with light accents on her lips and cheekbones, creating a look that was both elegant and sharp.
Vivian admitted that she was a bit confused and nervous before the G-hour. However, when she stepped onto the catwalk, she quickly got into character with a “pageant-like” demeanor. After a few initial seconds of shyness, Vivian gradually regained her composure, walked steadily, maintained a standard posture and a confident gaze, ending the performance in line with the designer’s artistic intentions.

Next, Vivian walked the Prabal Gurung runway in a more refined and mature look: an oversized sweater paired with a sheer maxi dress and transparent heels. This collection, titled Angels in America, was inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, which delves into the 1980s AIDS crisis and the LGBTQ+ community.

At the Dauphinette show, Vivian appeared in a bikini design combined with a flowing white skirt, heavily decorated with blue beetles – the brand’s signature motif. However, as soon as she stepped onto the catwalk, she suddenly screamed loudly and rushed down the runway, leaving the entire audience momentarily stunned.
However, this “scream and run” scene was actually probably part of the designer’s intention, to create a surprise highlight for the show. Immediately after the shocking moment, Vivian quickly regained her composure, striding confidently and professionally, turning the first twist into an impressive opening for the entire performance.

To close the show, she appeared on the Chris Habana runway (collaborated with Pornhub), wearing a daring dress made from safety pins, tanned leather strips and mesh – full of rebellious spirit, not for the masses.
Due to the heavy weight and rough material, Vivian’s catwalk steps were a bit unsteady, as if she was dragging the barbed wire dress across the floor. But it was this struggle that unintentionally created a strong visual effect, making the viewer clearly feel the challenge that the collection wanted to convey.
