The winter storm battering New York City did not stop the fashion world from dressing their best and attending runway shows for fashion week - with a bit of extra slush on their threads. Celebrities and fashion editors waded through mounds of snow and slush to attend the Gabriela Hearst Fashion Show in Brooklyn Tuesday. While the weather presented challenges, many were spotted with smiles still part of their outfits.

The designer showed her fall 2020 Ready-to-Wear collection that features cashmere 'furs' and merino-inset slips, according to Women's Wear Daily.

Black Panther actress Danai Gurira (pictured) braved the elements for the show, wearing a long black fur coat and white skirt while holding a clear umbrella to protect her from the snow.

Actress Rebecca Hall (pictured left) wore a long white trench coat and attended the show on the arm of actor Morgan Spector (Pictured right) who donned an all black ensemble and leather jacket.

Deborra-Lee Furness (pictured), actress and ex-wife of Hugh Jackman, walked through piles of icy slush wearing a black puffy jacket and a fur hat to get to the fashion show.

Louisa Jacobson (pictured), daughter of Meryl Streep, held an umbrella over her head as she arrived at the event wearing a black leather shirt and pants with a white collared shirt underneath.

Vouge fashion editor Lynn Yaeger wore a plaid dress, floral puffer coat and pink beanie as she got out of a car to attend the fashion show.

Other fashionistas were spotted wearing a green fuzzy hat, multi-colored scarfs and plaid jackets to bundle up for the heavy snow and high winds they faced to get to Brooklyn. A fashionista wearing a fuzzy brown coat and heeled boots stepped over piles of snow to get to the Gabriela Hearst Fashion Show. A woman wearing an all-white outfit trekked through the snow as someone held an umbrella over her to get to the fashion show. One attendee sported a fringe dress with a gray sweater and beanie as she stepped through the slush on the sidewalk outside of the building.

New York City experienced its heaviest snowstorm in two years on Tuesday, with Central Park accumulating 3.2 inches of snow as of 1 p.m. While the heavy wet snow is on its way out, the Big Apple is not in the clear yet as forecasters predict there could be coastal flooding and icy roads as temperatures drop in the evening. New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport accumulated 4.2 inches of snow by 1 p.m. and La Guardia Airport reached 3.3 inches of snow. Wind gusts reached 30 to 40 mph and New York Harbor and Jamaica Bay experienced one to two feet of coastal flooding. At 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday 750 customers were experiencing power outages, according to ConEdison.

The nation's largest school system in New York City said it was switching to remote learning and closing its buildings Tuesday because of the storm. The 9 million students enrolled in New York City Public Schools started their day off experiencing technical issues that prevented students from accessing their remote learning. The Big Apple remains under a travel advisory and people are suggested to avoid travel, but if they have to they should use public transit. New York City Mayor Eric Adams posted a video on X of himself out on the streets in Queens, wrapped up in his $700 Fendi scarf. 'The roads are not bad, but you know, just some wet, heavy snow that's coming down. And we're going to continue to monitor as the day goes on. It's great to see that there's little or no cars out on the road,' he said. 

Some of the highest snowfall totals were forecast for the northern suburbs of New York City and southwestern Connecticut, where 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 centimeters) were possible, according to the National Weather Service. Wind gusts could hit 60 mph (100 kph) off the Massachusetts coast and 40 mph (65 kph) in interior parts of southern New England. A TikTok user named Emily posted a video of herself trekking in the New York City snow saying, 'New Yorkers, if you were thinking of leaving your apartment today, don't.' Another user commented, 'Thanks for confirming that I made the right decision to wfh [work from home]. I made it half way to the train before I decided to turn back and inform my boss I will be working from home,' said a user named Jessica.
