All of the fashion industry's eyes were focused on the Marc Jacobs show last night, and not just because that's kind of par for the course during New York Fashion Week. The design house is in a particular period of transition, having discontinued its popular diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs nearly a year ago, while also facing store closures, staff layoffs, and a fair bit of rather salacious press.

But last night, no one's attention inside the Park Avenue Armory was focused on all that — how could it be, what with everything that went down at the designer's Fall 2016 presentation. Below, the buzziest bits from last night, from Anna to Gaga.

1. Gaga walked

Undoubtedly the most exciting part of the entire show was when Lady Gaga, straight off her Grammys tribute to David Bowie, took the the runway. Wearing a pussy-bow blouse, furry sleeves, and the platforms to end all platforms, Gaga nailed her dreamy, dazed walk.

If you squint, you can kind of make out a few telltale Kardasho-Jenner features underneath all that eyeliner.

3. But they had plenty of celebrity company

Plenty of fashion-adjacent celebs were in attendance, from Maggie Gyllenhaal to Sofia Coppola, Juliette Lewis, Sofia Coppola, Zosia Mamet, Kiernan Shipka, Natasha Lyonne, Amandla Stenberg, Andra Day, Sandra Bernhard, and Debi Mazar.

Sorry, Bernie Bros: the fashion establishment has spoken. Both Wintour and Marc Jacobs wore versions of the designer's Hillary ringer tees.

Look at 'em. Nearly every model in the show wore some version of Jacobs' neverending platforms.

7. It was...a lot

Between the goth beauty looks and dramatic, almost other-worldly garments, the show in its entirety was a lot to take in. According to WWD, "no one could have walked out of this show neutral...No one thought, 'OK. What's for dinner?'"

8. Gaga's mom was there

And the award for mom of the year goes to Cyntha Germanotta, who showed up at the Marc Jacobs show to cheer on her daughter. Adorable.
