Actresses Bella Heathcote, Nicola Peltz, Riley Keough and Zoe Kravitz donned four of the 36 romantic-meets-sportif all-white looks at Alexander Wang's last showing for Balenciaga today. These veritable Hollywood starlets were included stealthily among the models at the show who have walked miles of runway this season—girls like Lexi Boling, Maartje Verhoef, Anna Ewers and Lineisy Montero.
The nod to Hollywood didn't end there as the sound track served as an ode to California, with classic jams like L.L. Cool J's "Going Back to Cali" and 2 Pac's "California Love" playing as the see-through lace, silken belt bags and cut-out gowns made their way down a runway complete with marble pools of blue water. Presumably, Wang, who hails from Northern California, is exiting his Parisian gig and returning to New York. But home is home and Wang is making his return to the U.S. full-time with a beautiful swan song to the house that Cristobal built in his wake.
