Designers are all about making their Fashion Week<\/a> shows over the top!<\/p>\n

From A-listers<\/a> making their way down the runway to bigger-than-life stunts, no shortage of headlines come from Fashion Week around the globe each year.<\/p>\n

Madonna<\/a><\/strong> shocked the crowd when she walked the runway topless at the Jean Paul Gaultier presentation while Lady Gaga<\/a><\/strong> rocked a gothic-inspired look<\/a> at Marc Jacobs show in 2016.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, audiences were equally thrilled when two fictional characters, Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller<\/a><\/strong>) and Hansel (Owen Wilson<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0from the hit film, Zoolander<\/em>, made their way down the catwalk<\/a> for the Valentino finale in 2015.<\/p>\n

But, sometimes, designers really want their shows to take off!<\/p>\n

In 2016, Chanel finished its fashion show in Paris with a mock\u00a0rocket\u00a0launch which left the crowd in awe.<\/p>\n

But, if all else fails, designers can always hope that royalty arrives to see their shows.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That’s exactly what happened when\u00a0Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong>\u00a0surprised the crowd<\/a> at Richard Quinn<\/strong>‘s show in 2018 to give him the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. The Queen sat next to Vogue<\/em>‘s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour<\/a><\/strong>, for her first appearance at Fashion Week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

See all the most groundbreaking moments from Fashion Week below.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
