Tommy Dorfman is the moment. The actress has been a Fashion Week superstar this season, stepping out at runway shows aplenty for first time since reintroducing herself as a transgender woman earlier this year. Mind you, she hasn’t attended these shows simply by showing up and aimlessly snapping iPhone photos of the models from afar – she’s fully demanded the spotlight during each appearance, wearing an array of show-stopping looks we’ll be bookmarking for future outfit inspiration needs.
“It’s been such a fun week to be back – as myself.”
Tommy kicked off Fashion Month by hitting up Collinda Strada’s New York Fashion Week presentation in a ruched green and white dress, and went on to sit front row for Balmain, Moschino, Coach, Valentino, and more – y’know, only the biggest names in fashion. Speaking to WWD on her return to Paris Fashion Week, Tommy said, “It’s been such a fun week to be back – as myself. I’m enjoying going to shows I’ve never gone to before, finally getting to explore different houses in Paris, and to try on different things.”
