The minute the lights dimmed and the music started glaring at Spring Studio in TriBeCa, fashion's elite knew they were in for a treat during Jason Wu's Fall/Winter 2016 show.

The 33-year-old designer, who is perhaps best known for dressing first lady Michelle Obama, provided a little bit of everything on Friday, combining fur and plaid and pops of color with fun takes on the classic women's suit.

Dresses and suit jackets were given a twist of the unexpected with fur collars and ostrich feather detailing, while oversized coats were amped up with large-scale plaids and, in one particularly striking instance, a deep Coquelicot color.

The collection's most memorable and well-received look may have been a tan strapless dress -- worn by model Lineisy Montero Feliz -- with slips of the side, whose ostrich feathers swayed playfully down the celebrity-lined runway. It was certainly Eva Chen's favorite.

The show's front row including the dynamo trio of Jennifer Hudson, Diane Kruger and Jaime King.
