The Tamesis
Maude Apatow is no stranger to Paris Fashion Week: Over the years, the star has sat front row at shows for Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and more. But this season is an exciting first. “This is my first Chloé show, so experiencing it in Paris makes it even more special,” said Apatow, who attended designer Chemena Kamali’s fall 2026 show for the brand yesterday. “The city already has so much life and art, which makes the Chloé brand so beautifully reflected, it’s all about connection and free-spirited femininity.”
As a regular on PFW, the actor has a few things to check off her to-do list before the show begins. Whenever she’s in the French capital, Apatow makes time for sightseeing, cafe-hopping, shopping and, if possible, “maybe a visit with Socrates, the Bristol Hotel’s house cat.” This trip was no exception. “The past few days in Paris have been a lot of room service, visiting friends, and a few espresso martinis,” she said. (Um!)
While getting ready for the Chloé show, Apatow opted for a suitably romantic, bohemian-chic look. Her front row outfit included a fluffy cream cropped blouse, a khaki skirt and a dramatic belt (along with some dainty floral earrings). “I’m obsessed with belts, and if you look closely you can see little bloomers peeking out from the top of the skirt,” Apatow said.
Her show-day look was a perfect fit for Kamali’s new collection, which was themed in the folk spirit of the 1970s. “I love this show. Chemena is a talented designer and a kind man,” Apatow said. “It’s rare that you meet someone who is as beautiful on the inside as the work they create. Their appearance is stunning and the music penetrates my soul.” Isn’t it just as exciting? The front row was star-studded — yes, because even celebrities can be surprised from time to time. “Oprah was there, and I’ve never been more star-struck in my life,” Apatow said.
Now, Apatow is embarking on her next adventure: visiting SXSW in Austin, Texas, for a very special occasion. “This will be the premiere of my directorial debut, poetic license,” Apatow said, “and Euphoria Season 3 is coming soon. “
Naturally, we had to ask her if she could share any information about the latest episode of the HBO series. “As always, the stakes are very high this season,” Apatow joked. “Lexi is stressed out and working harder than ever. I’m so excited for everyone to see what she’s doing. Oh, and Sharon Stone!”
Below, we take a closer look at how Apatow spent 48 hours in Paris.
