Rachel Zegler Stuns at NYMag Culturati Cocktail in See-Through Purple Dress That Leaves Little to the Imagination

New York magazine’s Culturati 50 party on Wednesday night in SoHo was a star-studded celebration of culture, entertainment, and the creatives shaping it. The event, held at Manuela, highlighted the 50 actors, performers, artists, and other creatives featured on the magazine’s annual list.

Editor in chief David Haskell welcomed guests including Parker Posey, Claire Danes, and Rachel Zegler. Posey, arriving at the venue, paused for photos and playfully fanned her skirt in front of a printed curtain. “It’s all about the billowing,” she said, showing her trademark humor.

Rachel Zegler was one of the evening’s standout stars, turning heads in a LaQuan Smith Fall 2025 dress that was see-through and left little to the imagination,she completed her look with Jimmy Choo Afia mesh pumps, a Jimmy Choo Bon Bon Winter Bloom satin bag with metal bracelet, and Katkim earrings.
