On Monday, September 15, Williams graced the Upper East Side of Manhattan with her presence, arriving in style and turning heads. She donned a chic mustard yellow tweed two-piece and paired it with eye-catching gray sneakers. Her signature bright plum lipstick and highlighted hair added to her unmistakable look. Ever the style icon, Williams accessorized with a Gucci tote and a dazzling 'W' necklace, ensuring all eyes were on her.

"I feel like I am in prison," Williams shared earlier this year, expressing her feelings about the conservatorship.

Inside the Glamorous Event

The Dennis Basso showcase was nothing short of aristocratic. A meticulously curated selection of mannequins stood amidst marble fireplaces and Renaissance art, setting the perfect backdrop for Basso's elegant designs. Williams mingled with the fashion elite, even taking a moment to chat with Basso himself and admire the stunning pieces.

Despite her absence from daytime TV, Williams has been spotted at a few exclusive events, including the Bach Mai show over the weekend. Her appearance at NYFW has been a refreshing sight for fans and fashionistas alike.

The Conservatorship Controversy

Williams' journey has been fraught with challenges. Diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, she was placed under a conservatorship that she has publicly disputed. "I am not cognitively impaired," she asserted in a candid interview with "The Breakfast Club." However, despite her claims, a recent medical evaluation upheld the conservatorship.

Her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, maintains that Williams is "cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated." While the legal battles continue, Williams' appearance at NYFW suggests she's determined to reclaim her narrative, one stylish step at a time.

As the fashion world buzzes with her return, Wendy Williams remains a captivating figure, balancing personal challenges with her undeniable flair for the dramatic.
