Though Kelly Cutrone and Anna Delvey booked space at the restaurant next door for an official afterparty, they chose to stay on the rooftop to hang out with a few people from the press, Shao Yang and some friends. Delvey joked that she didn't really have a choice.

The group chatted with everyone and was overall in good spirits. Delvey came and went a few times — once going to get a La Croix for herself ("pure" flavor, for those wondering) — but was always happy to come back and take pictures with everyone hanging out.

Unfortunately for us all, two N.Y.P.D. showed up just before 10 p.m. and asked everyone to vacate the rooftop. Ever the hostess, Delvey welcomed those still in attendance to join her in her apartment.

We all quickly realized, though, that the space was small and the air conditioning was not on, and thus, the party ended and several people called it a night.

Of Course It's Custom

You wouldn't expect Anna Delvey to wear something off the rack, would you? For the show, she wore a custom SHAO suit, complete with hand-beaded jacket. Shao Yang tells PEOPLE that she spent hours making the suit for Delvey — after Delvey picked out what she wanted to wear from selections Yang provided her.

And yes, Delvey also showed everyone her ankle monitor and reminded us all that it's the same one it's always been. The monitor was complemented by her very high heels, which she deftly navigated the uneven rooftop in.

Following the show, everyone (of course) crowded around Anna Delvey and Kelly Cutrone — and the two were more than happy to take photos with all of them. With a mass of fashion press on hand, the powerhouses were eager to speak to everyone about the OutLaw Agency and SHAO.

The rain held off! The models did their thing on the rooftop amid a crowd of about 50 people that included press, friends and people who wanted a glimpse of Anna Delvey The models nailed their strut despite the teeny-tiny rooftop space.

A few guys on the rooftop next door also came out to enjoy the show. Do we think they know Delvey is their neighbor?

Ahead of the show, the elusive Anna Delvey finally made an appearance. Taking a few quick photos, she then ducked back away to let SHAO’s work shine. On first glance, we couldn't help but notice how amazing her hair looked. So long! So luscious!

We Made It to the Roof

The show’s guests have arrived on Anna Delvey’s rooftop, bypassing the con artist’s apartment along the way in this five-story walkup. We have yet to see her make an appearance, though she did FaceTime the models on the bus ride over. The show was scheduled to start 35 minutes ago. At least the rain has stopped!

The bus full of models pulled up to a crowd of people outside Delvey’s apartment ready and waiting to see and be seen. There were plenty of camera flashes and screams for people expecting to see ... someone step off that bus. Trying to make it through the crowd and in the front door was an adventure in itself.

Now we wait for Delvey. And SHAO.

The Models Are Coming!

The bus may have arrived to transport the models about 40 minutes late but they are en route to Anna Delvey’s apartment. Kelly Cutrone just told them all that the show may happen live on the street instead of on the rooftop because of the weather. It’ll be decided once they arrive. The streets of New York City might just get to be front row for the hottest show of Fashion Week this season.

Cutrone also just let the models know that the theme is outlaws — just like the agency — and the theme music of the night will be from the Sopranos. Pose as such!

And Then the Rain Came

It just started absolutely pouring in New York City, but Kelly Cutrone reassured everyone that they have umbrellas. That’s the contingency plan as of right now. One model told PEOPLE that the rain would add to “the vibes,” while others were less enthusiastic. We’ll see!

Kelly Cutrone and Anna Delvey brought in the best of the best for designer Shao Yang, who showed her collection under the moniker SHAO on Sept. 11. The models got their makeup done by Kabuki — who's worked with the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga — and their hair done by Ted Gibson — who has had his fingers in Angelina Jolie's tresses and Priyanka Chopra Jonas' locks.

The theme for the night is outlaws — much like Cutrone and Delvey's agency. Think sleek hair and geographic eye looks. The models got ready at an offsite location — minus Delvey — and were shuttled over to her apartment for showtime.
