Ahoy, matey! For his spring 2025 show Sunday night, Tommy Hilfiger welcomed guests aboard the MV John F. Kennedy, the decommissioned Staten Island Ferry famously purchased by Colin Jost and Pete Davidson a few years ago.
Jost was in attendance at the show, as Page Six reported earlier this week he would be — and while Davidson was MIA, there were still more stars than you could shake a stick (or an oar) at.
Olympic gymnasts Suni Lee and Gabby Thomas sat in the front row, along with Brooke Shields, Shay Mitchell, Damson Idris, Tinashe and Madelyn Cline, to name but a few.

Fittingly, given the venue, the collection was nautical-themed — think fisherman sweaters, woven slippers, checked capri pants and trench coats, almost all in shades of maritime red, white and blue.
And after the last model had walked, Staten Island’s Wu-Tang Clan surprised the crowd with a performance of “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Ice Cream.” Even the most jaded editors and celebs sprang from their seats and ran to snag the best viewing spots; we even saw a starstruck Shields hand her phone to a friend so she could pose for a photo with Raekwon.
Felix and Lee Know of Stray Kids sat front row. Getty Images Jisoo was also among the superstars in attendance.

Getty ImagesAfter forking over $280,000 to buy the boat in 2022, Jost and Davidson said they hoped to turn it into an event space. But buyer’s remorse seemed to set in by the following year, with Davidson joking that the pair were “very stoned” when they made the purchase, and that he had “no idea what’s going on with that thing.” (Jost later confirmed he was actually “stone-cold sober” at the time, questioning whether that made the decision “worse.”)
In any case, between the partnership with one of American fashion’s biggest names, the star-studded guest list and the major musical act, it’s safe to say the “SNL” pals’ first big party was a smash.
Just call it a ferry tale ending.
