Vogue sent robots down the runway at Vogue World, and people were not impressed
Four Unitree humanoid robots joined the fashion show’s intelligence-themed act, a moment that drew mixed reactions from viewers and guests.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Vogue hosted its fifth annual Vogue World event in Milan, transforming the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II into a runway celebrating Italian craftsmanship and fashion.
- Marketed as a tribute to 'the human touch' in an age of technology, the event was sponsored by Meta Glasses and OpenAI, reflecting Vogue's strategic alignment with Silicon Valley tech leaders.
- During the fourth act, 'The Age of Intelligence,' four humanoid robots from Unitree walked the runway, with creative director Juan Costa Paz calling their presence an 'inflection point' in human history.
- Critics labeled the robotic inclusion 'dystopian,' while one tech founder wrote on Instagram, 'I'm annoyed by the celebrities cheering the whole thing,' signaling mixed public reception.
- The robotic display may preview next year's event in San Francisco, where Vogue continues its strategy to align with tech industry leaders despite ongoing questions about the direction.
