Emily Rockefeller brought statement glamour to New York as she attended Alice + Olivia’s Shop Pink event in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
Held at the brand’s Madison Avenue store, the evening brought together figures from the worlds of fashion, philanthropy and entertainment, including Alice + Olivia founder Stacey Bendet, Julie Macklowe, Dr. Elizabeth Comen and Jenny Mollen.
Emily Rockefeller Makes a Sparkling Fashion Statement
A member of the Rockefeller family and a familiar face on New York’s philanthropic and fashion circuit, Emily stood out in a shimmering silver two-piece.
Her outfit featured a strapless cropped top paired with a matching knee-length skirt. Covered in glittering embellishment, the fitted ensemble had a polished pencil-skirt silhouette and a subtle midriff detail.
Emily styled the look with chunky white Mary Jane platform heels and layered gold necklaces, including a prominent pendant. She kept the remainder of her accessories understated, allowing the sparkling outfit to remain the focus.
Her brunette hair was worn loose in soft waves, while her makeup featured softly defined eyes and peach-toned lipstick for a fresh finish.
Emily appeared in high spirits as she posed for photographs against Alice + Olivia’s colourful, jewel-inspired backdrop before joining other guests at the event.
Alice + Olivia Event Supports Breast Cancer Research
Beyond the fashion on display, the Shop Pink evening had a fundraising purpose.
According to the event information, 15 per cent of net sales from the Shop Pink event was set to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
Alice + Olivia has an established partnership with the organisation, which supports breast cancer research. BCRF has said the fashion brand has contributed more than $138,000 since the partnership began.
The combination of fashion and fundraising made the New York event part of a broader effort to bring attention to breast cancer research while supporting the work of the foundation.
Emily Rockefeller’s Personal Connection to Breast Cancer Awareness
The cause also has a personal significance for Emily.
She has previously spoken publicly about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 and learning that she carries a BRCA1 gene mutation. Since then, she has used her platform to advocate for early detection, genetic testing and access to breast cancer screening.
Her appearance at the Shop Pink event therefore brought together two areas that have become closely associated with her public presence: New York’s fashion and philanthropic communities and her advocacy around breast cancer awareness.
Emily Remains a Fixture on New York’s Social Scene
The Alice + Olivia event comes after a particularly active period on New York’s fashion and social calendar for Emily.
During New York Fashion Week in September, she was seen alongside high-profile names including Nicky Hilton and Paris Hilton.
Earlier in 2026, Emily was also among the guests at Stacey Bendet’s home for a celebration marking Alice + Olivia’s return to handbags. The gathering included Nicky Hilton, Rickie De Sole and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb.
With her latest appearance, Emily once again combined a fashion-forward public presence with her longstanding connection to philanthropic causes.
