The artist then changed into a flowing white dress with jet black straps before heading to the Son Jung Wan show, which also took place at the Starrett-Lehigh Building.
Rutherford also wore a pair of black velvet sleeves, as well as matching leggings and leather shoes, and she tied her hair into a tight bun during her second show of the day.
The Dynasty actress’ appearance came after she opened up about her relationship with her son Hermes, 17, and her daughter Helena, 14, during an interview with her son Hermes, 17, and her daughter Helena, 14. People.
Rutherford shares her children with her former husband, Daniel Giersch, to whom she was married from 2006 to 2010.
Although the couple initially agreed to a 50-50 custody agreement, his visa was later revoked and he moved to Monaco, after which a judge ruled that their children should continue living with their father.
The actress then entered a lengthy legal battle with her former husband and was declared bankrupt after spending nearly $2 million in legal fees, eventually moving to Monaco to be close to her children.
Rutherford, who stepped away from her acting career to raise her children, revealed that her children have supported her return to the entertainment industry in recent years.
“My kids are getting older and they’re like, ‘Okay, get on with your life.’ They’re teenagers now and they have their friends and their stuff. So my daily life lately has been more about me and my dogs, working and traveling,” she said.
