On September 14, Wendy turned heads at Bach Mai’s runway presentation. Taking her rightful spot in the front row, she reminded everyone that fashion is still her lane.

She wore a chic black wrap mini dress cinched with a wide Gucci belt, adding street-meets-luxury vibes with chunky black-and-white Chanel sneakers. Her accessories included a bold silver “W” necklace layered with a cross pendant, stacks of bangles, and a statement ring.

Her hair and makeup were also a moment. The “How You Doin'” Queen wore her ash blonde hair slightly tousled with a sleek middle part.
