Rosé All Day: Château Sainte Marguerite Brings French Riviera Glamour to The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Media Awards at Rainbow Room

At the 13th Annual Fashion Media Awards, the stars gathered at Rockefeller Center for fashion’s big night with Château Sainte Marguerite rosé flowing against the breathtaking Manhattan skyline.

There are few things that pair more naturally with fashion than a perfectly chilled glass of rosé. At The Daily Front Row’s 13th annual Fashion Media Awards on September 11, Château Sainte Marguerite brought that effortless French Riviera sensibility to one of New York’s most glamorous evenings, creating a true “rosé all day” moment high above Manhattan.

Held at the iconic Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, the annual celebration honored some of the fashion and media industry’s most influential names while surrounding guests with sweeping views of New York City. And amid the photographers, designers, models, editors, celebrities, and industry insiders, Château Sainte Marguerite’s rosé became part of the evening’s chic social ritual, a refreshing touch of Provençal glamour perfectly suited to Fashion Week.

Before the awards ceremony, guests gathered for an elegant cocktail reception featuring fabulous activations and panoramic city views. Among those in attendance were Iman, Naomi Watts, Lisa Rinna, Veronica Webb, Devon Windsor, Jessica Wang, Kent Belden, Nate Yohannes, Cass Bird, and Natalie DeBanco, alongside presenters and honorees Evan Rachel Wood, Zac Posen, Isaac Mizrahi, Jodie Woods, Stephen Gan, Law Roach, and many more.

A Rosé Moment Above Manhattan

Château Sainte Marguerite’s presence at the Fashion Media Awards was particularly fitting. Known for its Provençal rosé and unmistakable French elegance, the wine brought a touch of the Mediterranean to the heart of New York Fashion Week.

The “rosé all day” spirit extended naturally from the afternoon into the evening, making Château Sainte Marguerite a memorable part of the celebration as fashion’s brightest names came together to toast creativity and achievement.

Fashion’s Brightest Take Center Stage

The evening’s awards recognized an impressive cross-section of talent shaping fashion and media today.

Jordan Roth received the Fashion Innovator award, while Stellene Volandes was honored as Media Icon for Town & Country. Kai Schreiber was named Breakthrough Model of the Year, Wisdom Kaye received the Fashion Trailblazer honor, and legendary supermodel Twiggy was celebrated as Style Icon.

Additional honorees included Jordyn Woods, named Fashion Game Changer; Corina Larpin, Accessories Designer of the Year; Jenna Lyons, Fashion Force; Chloe Malle and Vogue, recognized as Magazine of the Year; and Bethann Hardison, who received the Lifetime Achievement award.

The ceremony captured the extraordinary range of personalities and visionaries defining the industry — from established icons to the next generation of fashion talent.

Beauty, Auras & Rosé

Adding another layer of experiential glamour to the reception, Redken created an interactive aura-reading experience where guests could discover their unique aura colors and receive personalized Polaroid photographs as keepsakes.

It was the kind of playful, highly visual activation perfectly suited to the Fashion Media Awards — and one that gave guests another reason to pause, pose, and celebrate the moment. Meanwhile, Château Sainte Marguerite provided the liquid accompaniment.

With its bottles of rosé at the bar, the wine became an effortless fixture throughout the reception, complementing the evening’s celebratory energy and the Rainbow Room’s sophisticated surroundings.

There was something undeniably glamorous about looking out over the Manhattan skyline with a glass of Provençal rosé in hand — a small taste of the South of France meeting the center of the fashion universe.

From Rainbow Room to Times Square

After the ceremony, guests received gift bags filled with goodies from the evening’s sponsors before heading downtown for the official after-party at the Times Square Edition.

The celebration continued late into the night with a surprise concert by Grace Bowers, followed by music from DJs Gabe and Chloe, keeping the fashion crowd dancing well after the awards had concluded.

But before the lights of Times Square took over, the evening belonged to the Rainbow Room — and to the sparkling combination of fashion, skyline views, and chilled Château Sainte Marguerite rosé.
