Emily Rockefeller brought a dose of high-octane glamour to New York on Thursday, October 1, 2026, as she stepped out for Alice + Olivia's Shop Pink event in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The socialite and philanthropist joined Alice + Olivia founder Stacey Bendet, Julie Macklowe, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, Jenny Mollen and other guests at the brand's Madison Avenue store for an evening combining fashion and fundraising.

Emily is a member of the prominent Rockefeller family and has become increasingly visible on New York’s philanthropic and fashion circuit.

She turned heads at the event in a sparkling silver two-piece made up of a strapless cropped top and matching knee-length skirt.

The fitted ensemble was covered in shimmering embellishment and showed off a sliver of midriff, while the sleek pencil silhouette gave the look a polished finish.

She teamed the set with chunky white Mary Jane platform heels and layered gold necklaces, including a statement pendant, keeping the rest of her accessories minimal.

Emily wore her brunette hair loose in soft, glossy waves and opted for fresh, understated makeup, with peach-toned lipstick and softly defined eyes completing the look.

The fashion-world regular appeared in good spirits as she posed against the brand's colorful, jewel-inspired backdrop before joining fellow guests inside the event.

The evening had a philanthropic focus, with 15 per cent of net sales from the Shop Pink event benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Alice + Olivia has partnered with BCRF to help fund breast cancer research, with the organization saying the fashion brand has contributed more than $138,000 since the partnership began.

For Emily, the cause is also a deeply personal one. 

She has previously spoken publicly about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 after learning she carries a BRCA1 gene mutation, and has since become an advocate for early detection, genetic testing and improved access to screening.

The appearance comes after a busy few weeks on New York's social calendar for Emily, who was also spotted alongside names including Nicky Hilton and Paris Hilton during New York Fashion Week in September.

Earlier this year, Emily was among the guests invited to Stacey Bendet's home to celebrate the label's return to handbags, alongside Nicky Hilton, Rickie De Sole and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb.
