February is when fashion’s two big calendars cross: the Grammys and the Super Bowl open the month, and the women’s Fall/Winter 2026 shows fill the rest of it. Musicians were in the middle of nearly all of it, as wearers, front-row guests and, in two cases, designers and soundtrack-makers. Here are eight moments worth remembering, in the order they happened.
Feb. 1: Bad Bunny Wears a Woman’s Couture Look to the Grammys
The night’s winner was also its best-dressed man. Bad Bunny’s Schiaparelli tuxedo was modeled on a women’s look from the house’s Spring 2023 couture show, with a corset-style lace-up down the back, and was the first Schiaparelli men’s piece worn at the Grammys, per Complex. Clipse and Pharrell wore matching dusty-rose Louis Vuitton, and Lady Gaga switched between a Matières Fécales feathered gown and archival McQueen. Full story.
Feb. 8: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Look Is Zara
A week later he took the biggest stage in a cream outfit from Zara, styled by Storm Pablo and Marvin Douglas Linares, with a No. 64 jersey top that Complex says honors his late uncle. Two days after that, the Pakistani-American label FOUND said it had rushed hand-embroidered designs from Lahore before the plan changed. Full story.

Rihanna wore a coat from the collection in the front row.
Feb. 19: A King Goes to London Fashion Week
Tolu Coker opened London Fashion Week with King Charles III in the front row, a crowned head “rarely, if ever, seen at such events,” Numéro wrote. The British-Nigerian designer, a 2025 LVMH Prize finalist, answered with sixties cuts, blue-and-white checkerboards and butter-yellow ensembles.
