There's a flurry of activity around GloRilla backstage at Coach's Spring 2026 fashion show. The moment the lights came up over Stuart Vevers's latest collection—a love letter to the streets of New York told through white jeans, organza dresses, and a buzzy Kisslock Barrel bag—the Grammy-nominated rapper was whisked backstage for photos on a set lined with cut-out stars and clouds. Her team swirls around her as flashbubs pop with each snap of the camera. After a few shots, she pauses to take a look at the monitor, giving notes in a voice I can't quite hear. Then, her team steers her in my direction to talk style.
I know before we begin that I'm experiencing a sliver of the activity surrounding one of the most exciting new voices in music. Since her viral 2022 breakthrough with "F.N.F. (Let's Go)," GloRilla has been on the ascent—and very busy. She's stacked up three Grammy nominations alongside BET Hip-Hop Awards and iHeart Radio Music Awards wins. She's collaborated with the likes of Tyler, the Creator and Megan Thee Stallion. She's back at her second Coach front row, bumping shoulders with Elle Fanning, Charles Melton, and Storm Reid. All that résumé building is happening her way.
