Scammer Anna Delvey Walks the Runway at New York Fashion Week Wearing Electronic Bracelet

Eyes as piercing as a hawk’s, a severe blazer with structured shoulders, a long jet black skirt… and an electronic bracelet on her ankle. It was in this look that, on September 12, Anna Delvey caused a sensation when she closed the Shao Spring/Summer 2025 show in New York. Seconds after her runway appearance, the 33-year-old former con artist returned to the stage, hand in hand with fashion designer Shao Yang, to the applause of the audience. That same day, she once again played the model at the Untitled&Co show. Her head crowned with a tiara as the ultimate provocation.

The most chic of scammers?

The face of Anna Delvey, real name Anna Sorokin, became known worldwide when she was accused in 2019 of having defrauded New York high society by posing as a wealthy German heiress. And this, for several years. Arrested in 2017, she was sentenced to four years in prison before being released on bail in 2022. The case grew so big that Netflix takes on the subject by broadcasting the hit series in 2022 Inventing Anna. Since then, Anna Delvey, caught in a relative legal imbroglio with the immigration services, has been under house arrest and wearing an electronic bracelet. But that’s not enough to stop her from making people talk about her.

Just one month after her release, she took part in an unprecedented photo shoot in the metro, the photos of which were published by the American magazine The Cut. The following year, she orchestrated a fashion show on the roof of her building in New York’s East Village. And because nothing seems to stop her: the show “Good Morning America” ​​announced its participation to the American version of “Dancing with the Stars,” the first episode of which is scheduled for September 17. Which, without a doubt, will once again attract the attention of the media. A talent that she masters to perfection.
