Wendy Williams made quite a splash in New York this week. The former talk show star made a surprise appearance at LaQuan Smith’s fashion show at the Classic Car Club, and the audience was ecstatic.
Dressed from head to toe in LaQuan Smith’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, Wendy transformed her entrance into a runway moment. Cameras clicked away, fans cheered, and one fashion reporter even called out, “Can we get a smile?” When Wendy obliged, the entire room erupted in applause.
However, the evening was about more than just fashion; it was about Wendy reclaiming her place in the spotlight. “I felt like a zillion dollars,” she later shared, expressing how touched she was by the love from everyone around her.
Inside the venue, the support for Wendy was palpable. An insider revealed to Page Six that she was the last person to take her seat, but not before being welcomed with cheers of “We love you, Wendy!” That moment demonstrated just how much her fans still cherish her.
One of the most talked-about moments of the night for Black Twitter was Wendy reuniting with hip hop legend Lil’ Kim. Cameras captured Wendy telling Kim, “We’re gonna stay in touch. I love you!” and she even signaled to her bodyguard to exchange numbers, highlighting the sincere bond between two women who have both made their own marks in the industry.
The evening continued to be special as Wendy mingled with Ice Spice, blending the essence of old-school royalty with new-school talent. With several big names like Busta Rhymes and Latto in attendance, all eyes remained on Wendy.
Her appearance was especially meaningful considering her ongoing conservatorship battle, which limits her access to personal belongings, including her iconic wigs, most of which are stored away.
