The Tamesis
This week, Paris Fashion Month kicks off the Fall 2026 shows, and while everything on the runway is geared towards delivering high fashion fantasies, the A-listers in the front row are taking a slightly more low-key approach to their attire. This week, the best-dressed stars are practicing the art of casual elegance – opting for looks that are understated but still with a bold first look. Think about it: a smart blazer paired with jeans, or a stylish pair of suit pants paired with a casual bra top.
Take Olivia Rodrigo’s Chloé show, for example: the singer stepped out in one of the brand’s sweet lace-trimmed slip dresses. She paired it with a pair of cream open-toe pumps and a python Paddington bag, making the lingerie-inspired look feel perfect for the runway. Anya Taylor-Joy also opted for Dior at the LVMH Prize cocktail party in the City of Lights, pairing a metallic brocade ruffled jacket with classic light-wash jeans for a more wearable feel, in line with Jonathan Anderson’s take on the Dior show.
In Loewe, love story Star Sarah Pidgeon wore textured white jeans and a draped leather shirt that was very reminiscent of what her on-screen character Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would wear today. Equally chic and discrete? Kate Moss wore a Saint Laurent dress and Nicole Kidman wore a black Chanel suit – Kidman looked even sexier with sheer panels.
