The biggest fashion houses opened their doors for Fall Fashion Week, and with them came a parade of celebrities as impressive as the collections themselves.
From Zendaya in front of the Louvre pyramid in Louis Vuitton to Macaulay Culkin surprising everyone at Dior, the front rows competed in style, boldness, and personality.
Here are 12 celebrities who left a lasting impression during one of the most memorable fashion weeks of the season.
Macaulay Culkin
Macaulay Culkin made a surprise appearance at the Christian Dior show wearing a cream-colored fine-knit sweater featuring an embroidery of the cover of Eric Carle’s famous children’s book *The Very Hungry Caterpillar*, complete with colorful caterpillars and vintage typography. Paired with raw, faded jeans and black sunglasses with rounded frames, the look plays on childhood nostalgia with a completely unapologetic irreverence. Far from the usual codes of the Parisian front row, the American actor imposes his own offbeat logic with disarming humor, proving that one can be both unpredictable and perfectly at home at Dior.
Paris Jackson
Paris Jackson makes a statement at Vivienne Westwood as a rock-romantic figure in a shirtdress featuring baroque prints in brown-red and gray, layered in a loose and deliberately disheveled manner over a pale pink skirt. A khaki coat worn over the shoulder, a black belt cinched at the waist, and facial adornments—whether tattoos or graphic makeup—complete this resolutely subversive aesthetic. Her tousled blonde hair and intense gaze echo the British house’s punk and provocative DNA. A look that is both wild and poetic, entirely consistent with the world of Vivienne Westwood.
Amy Adams and Kieran Culkin
Amy Adams and Kieran Culkin make an unexpected but perfectly matched duo at the Lacoste show. The Oscar-winning actress opted for a sleek black leather jacket with brownish hues, burgundy-tinted sunglasses, and a dark handbag—a clean, sophisticated look. Her companion Kieran Culkin, a recent Oscar winner, chose a white graphic sweatshirt emblazoned with the words “French Cup 82” in colorful letters, paired with dark pants. Between her chic minimalism and his playful sense of style, the duo perfectly embodies the sporty-casual-luxury spirit that defines Lacoste’s contemporary identity.
Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain literally lights up the Zimmermann show in a bright orange double-breasted blazer-dress with gold detailing, which falls just above the knees to highlight her slender figure. The intense, uncompromising sunny hue perfectly complements her wavy auburn hair, which cascades over her shoulders. Discreet gold earrings and matching pumps complete the look without weighing it down. The American actress, always impeccable in her fashion choices, makes a radiant and powerful appearance here that stands out as one of the most memorable of this edition of Paris Fashion Week.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey’s appearance at the Chanel show is an event in itself. The American host and producer chose a structured ivory-white two-piece ensemble, consisting of a zippered jacket with a high collar and a flowing midi skirt, both delicately accented with black trim that echoes the graphic precision so dear to the house. Large, wraparound black sunglasses and understated accessories complete this look of quiet authority. Here, Oprah embodies elegance on a grand scale—the kind that doesn’t need ostentation to make an impression, but naturally fills every room, even the largest.
Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor made a striking entrance at the Chanel show in a long, sheer jumpsuit adorned with a delicate black floral print on a crystalline white background. The outfit, both bold and refined, reveals the contours of her sculpted figure while maintaining a certain visual poetry. Wrap-around black sunglasses and a confident demeanor complete this avant-garde look. The American singer and dancer makes Chanel’s couture heritage her own by filtering it through her own provocative and free-spirited world. A bold choice, perfectly in keeping with the spirit of a house that has always celebrated strong, independent women.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie walks the runway for Chanel in an outfit that exudes subtle, understated sensuality: a nude sheer chiffon top layered over a pinkish-beige base, paired with blue-gray pants featuring silver highlights and sophisticated gradient effects. A chocolate-brown fur bag carried in the crook of her arm adds a luxurious, animalistic texture to the ensemble. Her slightly wavy blonde hair and natural makeup accentuate the look’s softness without diminishing its strength. The Australian actress once again demonstrates her natural ease with the most demanding codes of Parisian haute couture.
Léa Seydoux
In front of the Louvre Pyramid, Léa Seydoux embodies the modern Parisian in an off-white two-piece ensemble embroidered with delicate pastel flowers—a button-down jacket and matching straight-leg pants. Round white sunglasses with tinted lenses add a retro-chic touch reminiscent of the great icons of the 1970s. The French actress, a loyal Louis Vuitton client, brings her own take on femininity: soft on the outside, but resolutely confident in her choices. The lightness of the floral embroidery contrasts with the precise structure of the cut, creating a perfect balance between romance and modernity that could belong to no one else but her.
Zendaya
Zendaya makes a striking appearance in front of the Louvre Pyramid in a voluminous white shirtdress with a sculptural silhouette, cinched at the waist by a wide black leather belt. The contrast between the fluidity of the fabric, which flares out dramatically, and the architectural precision of the belt is absolutely striking. The long buttoned sleeves and high collar add an elegant touch to this ensemble, which blends modernity and sophistication. A masterful appearance, dressed entirely in Louis Vuitton, which confirms once again that Zendaya is one of the most powerful stylistic forces of her generation.
Alysa Liu
Young American figure skater Alysa Liu opts for a dark brown denim ensemble consisting of an oversized jacket with contrasting pockets and matching wide-leg pants, accessorized with a mini bag featuring the LV emblem in caramel-colored leather. A casual yet perfectly polished look for the front row, reflecting a confident and modern youthfulness. Her blonde hair, framed by short bangs, reinforces this fresh and spontaneous vibe. Far from the ultra-sophisticated outfits of her neighbors, Alysa makes her mark with disarming ease against one of Paris’s most beautiful backdrops.
Jennifer Connelly
As Louis Vuitton’s iconic ambassador, Jennifer Connelly embodies timeless elegance in a long, shimmering gold dress with a high neckline and sleeveless design that catches the light with every movement. A gold scarf tied around her neck and a Louis Vuitton monogrammed leather handbag complete the look with remarkable stylistic precision. Her black hair is pulled back, and her makeup is understated, allowing the outfit to take center stage and underscoring the close bond between the actress and the house. Standing before the Louvre Pyramid, she projects an image that is both classic and regal, worthy of the greatest fashion icons.
Nina Dobrev
With her irresistible preppy-sporty style, Nina Dobrev rocks a brilliantly layered Miu Miu look: a white Peter Pan collar shirt, a burgundy sweater, and a dark brown zip-up jacket with beige accents. The matching skirt, adorned with white laces tied at the sides, adds a playful and offbeat touch. A blend of chic school uniform and luxury sportswear, perfectly in line with the Italian house’s DNA. Natural, smoky makeup balances the boldness of the look without ever stealing the spotlight.
