SHE is a proud big sister!

On Thursday, Sept. 5, the singer, born Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, watched her 3-year-old sister EJ walk the runway at Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2025 fashion show as the brand opened New York Fashion Week.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE after the show, HER, 27, raved about her younger sister’s debut.

“I’m so proud,” she tells PEOPLE. “She was a natural.” Turning to her sister, HER adds, “You killed him, girl. She is the best, I liked her.”

HER comments came after she tried to get her sister to speak into the microphone to PEOPLE.

“Say hello, my name is EJ,” said the musician, to which EJ replied, “Hi, my name is EJ.”

When asked if she enjoyed walking the runway, the adorable girl said, “Yes.”

Meanwhile, HER was also dressed to impress in a classic black blazer and flared trousers over an unbuttoned white shirt.

“Well, you know, I feel like it’s super commanding,” she tells PEOPLE of her look. “It’s super up, which Ralph does really well, and it’s just comfortable and relaxing for me, and I put my natural curls on it and it was just right.”

She also revealed that she made red lipstick herself.

“We actually made it, I had to create my own personal HER red because there was no red that was right,” HER tells PEOPLE. “And I matched my nails. I also made this red.”

Speaking about Ralph Lauren’s legacy, she adds: “I think Ralph kind of touches on a lot of different eras like I see some ’60s, but I see the ’70s and ’80s.

“It’s always been iconic,” the “Hold Us Together” artist tells PEOPLE. “It’s always been timeless. I have Ralph Lauren pieces that I’ve had for many, many years and they never get old. So I just think it’s timeless.”
