Ralph Lauren, 86, has sparked concern due to his 'frail' appearance during New York Fashion Week.The acclaimed designer held a runway show in Manhattan on Wednesday, and it was attended by a slew of stars including Viola Davis, Elizabeth Debicki and Cynthia Erivo, among others.But fans across the globe were left worried about the billionaire businessman when he came out on the runway at the end and appeared to struggle to walk.A now-viral clip showed Lauren, who dressed in white trousers, a New York bomber jacket and New Balance sneakers, waving at the audience as he stood at the start of the catwalk.However, many viewers noticed that he looked feeble and seemed like he was holding onto something out of view to keep himself upright.At one point, he took one small step forward but stopped, as his wife, Ricky Lauren, rushed over and put her arm around him.She gave him a kiss and stood by his side as Lauren smiled towards the cheering crowd.Fans immediately rushed to the comment section of the video to share their concern.
