It’s her first solo fashion show.
If you’re a fan of F1, you’ve definitely seen Portuguese model Kika Gomes walk through the paddock in support of her boyfriend, Alpine driver Pierre Gasly. But if you’re new to this world, consider this an intro to Gomes who is beloved by her fans for her kind personality, elegant style, and relatable Gen-Z energy. With 750,000 followers on TikTok and over 1 million on Instagram, her career is only just getting started. One brand to notice her appeal? Calvin Klein, who invited her to attend their spring 2026 show. Gomes was in good company, with a front row that included Christopher Briney, Lily Collins, Rosalía, Jungkook, and more. And for the model, it was a childhood dream come true. “Calvin Klein has always been one of my favorite brands since I was a kid. It’s iconic and known for its essentials, but since Veronica has started working with the brand and they started doing shows again, I’ve been so excited to see the new direction the brand is taking,” Gomes says.
Below, check out her exclusive photo diary as she gets ready for the show.
This was my first show alone, so I don’t quite have any fashion week rituals just yet. I went for a walk in the morning to take in the city (I love New York!) and then had some breakfast before getting ready.
The hair was intended to slightly, slightly curly with a sense of cool girl effortlessness.
For makeup we landed on rosy blush cheeks, a monochromatic lip, and some shimmery champagne eyeshadow.
A quick selfie in the mirror before we go.
For the show we went for a monochromatic look, so I chose a classic tank top that was paired with some incredible leather trousers. I added a simple heel and some earrings to complete. Calvin Klein to me is always about elevated basics and effortless style, so I wanted to go for that today.
A favorite from the show, what a great time!
