The real Anna Delvey is now legally free to move around Manhattan for the first time.

The last time Delvey roamed the streets of NYC, she was attempting to con businesses into funding her extravagant lifestyle and ambitious plans.

The former "Fake Heiress" has been under house arrest since October 2022 after being released from prison as reported by Page Six.

Page Six reports that a judge has granted her the freedom to explore the city — just in time to participate in her first New York Fashion Week as a fully accredited member of the US workforce.

As previously reported, Delvey — who was born Anna Sorokin in the USSR before moving to Germany at 16 — established a "pop-up" PR agency last year with industry veteran Kelly Cutrone while confined to her East Village apartment.

As per reports, she has since relocated to Cutrone’s home upstate.

Now, sources say Delvey has been issued a Social Security number, allowing her to officially and legally work — so the OutLaw agency is now a fully operational business. It seems that fraudster Anna Sorokin has transformed into fashion professional Anna Delvey. How’s that for Manhattan magic?

OutLaw and Cutrone’s own firm, People’s Revolution, have secured their own space in the Altman Building in Chelsea for fashion week, where they’ll produce shows for various clients.

The space, sponsored by Pornhub, will host runway shows for brands like Private Policy, Untitled&Co., and Shao New York. (Delvey famously hosted Shao’s show on her rooftop last year as OutLaw’s first project).

Delvey is technically still under house arrest, but she’s now permitted to move freely within a 75-mile radius of her home.
