The Front Rows at Paris Fashion Week Prove Celebrities Saved Their Best Looks for Last
The final week of Fashion Month brought Rihanna, Zendaya, and Dua Lipa to the front row.
Paris Fashion Week mainstays like Chanel, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton were the grand finale of Fashion Month. The Spring/Summer 2027 season's fourth and final chapter—which ran from September 28 to October 6—also happened to be the most star-studded. Everyone from Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence to Venus Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy saved their best celebrity looks for last.
A lot of the A-listers skipped runway shows in New York City, London, and Milan. On September 29, Jonathan Anderson—and the first anniversary of the creative director's Dior debut—brought Lawrence and Rihanna out of hiding. While they're both brand ambassadors, their front-row outfits followed completely different dress codes: J.Law's nightgown gave pajama dressing an elegant Dior twist, and Rihanna's all-black look marked a modest detour from her first PFW pick, a tinseled skirt set at Matières Fécales.
Fast forward to the weekend, and even more newcomers joined the celebrity Fashion Week circuit. Lili Reinhart, for one, returned to Miu Miu in a luscious leopard-print coat; the Off Campus star Mika Abdalla attended her first fashion show in a semi-sheer Valentino slip; and Zimmermann ended Sarah Snook's year-long Fashion Month hiatus with a backless denim dress.
It seems high-profile fashion people were determined to set an even higher style standard for the Fall/Winter 2027 season than the one before. So, soak up all of the celebrity looks that Paris Fashion Week had to offer, because they'll need to last you until next February.

Lisa at Louis Vuitton

Blackpink's Lisa played with proportions at Louis Vuitton: voluminous purple ruffles made her dark denim corset pop, while the leather mini skirt and wedges matched her top-handle tote.

Alexa Demie was the picture of '80s-inspired glamour in a glossy, quilted jacket and a mini skirt. The Euphoria actor's slingback cap-toe pumps were just as shiny.
Paloma Elsesser at Chanel

Before fully committing to her winter white wardrobe, Paloma Elsesser dipped her toe into the trend with fringed tweed fashion, featuring a high-collar jacket and a skintight pencil skirt (a Fashion Month favorite).
Ayo Edebiri at Chanel

Ayo Edebiri delivered the best little black dress at Paris Fashion Week, complete with white trim along the thigh-sweeping hem. The actor's cap-toe pumps, east-west bag, and cropped gingham jacket continued the black-and-white color story.
Ella Rubin at Chanel

Ella Rubin's Sterling Point character, Annie, sported a slew of Chanel on Season One of the hit Prime Video show. So, she looked right at home at Blazy's show, wearing a three-quarter-length shirt, a red pencil skirt, and the high-vamp heels.
Sarah Snook at Zimmermann
Sarah Snook at Zimmermann's Paris Fashion Week show.
For her first Paris Fashion Week show of the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Sarah Snook debuted a backless halter-neck number at Zimmermann. While the fabric might look black, it's actually a super dark shade of indigo.
Zoey Deutch at Zimmermann

Zoey Deutch wore a breezy long-sleeve turtleneck dress at Zimmermann, but the black triangular bodice gave the illusion that it was more fitted.
Katie Holmes at Gabriela Hearst

Katie Holmes and her boyfriend, Jason Bard Yarmosky, continued their Fashion Month style series at Gabriela Hearst. The Dawson's Creek actor styled a black turtleneck and a matching leather midi skirt with pointy ivory pumps.
Cynthia Erivo at Valentino

Valentino's Alessandro Michele asked his guests to bring their favorite book to the Spring 2027 show (all of which were donated to local Parisian libraries). Cynthia Erivo, for one, brought Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin—and shade-matched the raspberry red cover to her quilted Valentino bag. She finished the front-row look with a peekaboo bra, a fur coat, and a sequined pencil skirt.
Naomi Watts at Valentino
Naomi Watts at Valentino's Paris Fashion Week show.
After Naomi Watts dropped Jane Eyre by Emily Brontë in the donation bin at the Sainte-Geneviève Library, she posed in a shoulder-padded, bow-embellished mini dress, lacy brown tights, and purple Rockstud Pumps.
Mika Abdalla at Valentino

The Off Campus actor made quite an impression at her first fashion show, pulling off the green-and-purple color combination with an airy Valentino dress and a floral brooch.
Samara Weaving at Valentino

Samara Weaving sported the graphic tee trend at Valentino, tucking a cobalt blue shirt into a classic, belted pair of black trousers. The Australian actor accessorized with red Rockstud Pumps that blended into the library's red carpet.
Lili Reinhart at Miu Miu
Lili Reinhart at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show.
It seems Lili Reinhart's final outfit on The Love Hypothesis press tour—Miu Miu's recreation of the pink dress in 1998's My Date With the President’s Daughter—scored her a seat at the recent runway show. Looking every bit a rom-com main character, Reinhart layered a lingerie-style slip dress beneath a leopard-print coat. Her accessories? Open-toe mules and the Miu Miu Arcadie Bag.
Alexa Chung at Miu Miu
Alexa Chung at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show.
Alexa Chung migrated Fashion Month's pencil skirt trend to Miu Miu, pairing a distressed satin style with a white camisole, a striped sweater jacket, and the celebrity-beloved Vivant Bag.
McKenna Grace at Miu Miu

McKenna Grace may be playing Daphne in Netflix's new live-action Scooby Doo series, but she channeled Barbie's signature shades at Miu Miu. She stacked a striped rugby shirt beneath a bubblegum pink skirt set, before finishing with the same black accessories as Reinhart.
Joey King at Miu Miu
Joey King at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show.
Joey King made her satin, pale pink slip dress surprisingly moody with an oversized black jacket, blackout sunglasses, and the most popular peep-toe pumps among Miu Miu's Gen-Z guests.
Maude Apatow at Miu Miu
Maude Apatow at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show.
Maude Apatow doubled up on cool-girl layers at Miu Miu's show, wearing a baby blue button-down, a camel-colored cardigan, and a charcoal gray suit. For her finishing touches, the Euphoria actor coordinated her peekaboo belt to Miu Miu's Vivant Bag.
Venus Williams at Lacoste
Venus Williams at Lacoste's Paris Fashion Week show.
Lacoste's longtime global ambassador, Venus Williams, channeled her sister's affinity for sporty cobalt blue styling. The unmissable color trend covered the tennis legend's polo sweater, leather shorts, and calf-length coat, while her shoulder bag matched a tennis ball shade of neon green. She deserves extra applause for her heeled soccer cleats.
Paris Hilton at Elie Saab
Paris Hilton at Elie Saab's Paris Fashion Week show.
This Paris Fashion Week, naked dress sightings have been slim to none, but Paris Hilton picked up the see-through slack at Elie Saab. Her bejeweled black lingerie was visible beneath her long-sleeve, turtleneck gown's sheer floral lace.
Tracee Ellis Ross at Celine

To make the relaxed drawstring pants trend Paris Fashion Week-worthy, Tracee Ellis Ross coupled her balloon bottoms with a classic crewneck sweater and stark white leather boots.
Tate McRae at Schiaparelli
Tate McRae at Schiaparelli's Paris Fashion Week show.
Despite looking like a regular in creative director Daniel Roseberry's front row, Tate McRae attended her first Schiaparelli show on Oct. 1. The pop star embodied Old Hollywood elegance in a fitted, button-free blazer and silky column skirt.
Naomi Ackie at Schiaparelli
Naomi Ackie at Schiaparelli's Paris Fashion Week show.
Naomi Ackie's single-sleeved black dress hypnotized spectators at the Schiaparelli showcase. Thousands of intricately placed pleats came together to create one of the most interesting gowns at Paris Fashion Week.
Cynthia Erivo at Chloé
Erivo at Chloé's Paris Fashion Week show.
No matter which show she attends, Erivo shape-shifts her personal style to match the creative director's vision. At Chloé, the actor went full boho mode, pairing polka dots with stripes and florals, before popping a raspberry red bag against her black poplin skirt.
Maude Apatow at Chloé
Apatow at Chloé's Paris Fashion Week show.
You didn't need the Chloé-branded backdrop to determine Apatow's next fashion show: her lace-trimmed, lemon sweater dress, platform clogs, and chocolate Paddington Bag brought Chloé-core to life.
Sarah Pidgeon at Balenciaga
Sarah Pidgeon at Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show.
Months after starring in the Spanish brand's Fall 2026 campaign film, Sarah Pidgeon made her Balenciaga debut in a peplum leather jacket, split-hem jeans, and her beloved Rodeo Bag in a fresh chestnut-colored suede for fall.
Shailene Woodley at Balenciaga
Shailene Woodley at Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show.
No, you're not seeing things: Pidgeon and Shailene Woodley followed almost identical outfit formulas at Balenciaga. Woodley, however, chose a classic brown bomber jacket to offset the grunginess of her jeans. She accessorized with gold hoop earrings, matching bangles, and a Balenciaga Le City Bag.
Jennifer Lopez at Stella McCartney
Jennifer Lopez at Stella McCartney's Paris Fashion Week show.
For her first Stella McCartney show, Jennifer Lopez sourced the Fall 2026 collection for a business-ready blend of browns. The singer styled a belted, fur-trimmed top with a matching pencil skirt, pointy pumps, and an elongated stole that touched the catwalk behind her.
Kelsea Ballerini at Stella McCartney

Kelsea Ballerini also made her Stella McCartney debut at the recent spring show, wearing the equestrian stirrup leggings trend with a surprisingly sporty windbreaker.
Sabrina Elba at Balmain
Sabrina Elba at Balmain's Paris Fashion Week show.
Sabrina Elba's jeans made waves at the Balmain showcase, but not just because of their barrel-style silhouette. The Canadian model's cropped leather jacket perfectly complemented her pants' pleated waistband, which is worth zooming in on.
Zoë Kravitz at Saint Laurent
Zoë Kravitz at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show.
Staying true to her affinity for lacy black looks, Zoë Kravitz found her rightful place in Saint Laurent's front row (one she claimed a decade ago). Team Marie Claire couldn't help but notice the similarities between this skirt set and her 2026 Met Gala gown, also from Saint Laurent.
Amber Valletta at Saint Laurent
Amber Valletta at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show.
Amber Valletta wasn't afraid to show some skin at the Saint Laurent show, going braless beneath a black semi-sheer bodysuit and a velvet wrap-style skirt.
Kate Moss at Saint Laurent
Kate Moss at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show.
Speaking of supermodels, Kate Moss's all-black look seemed to be the most modest at the Saint Laurent showcase. She shielded herself in luscious velvet before breaking up the jumpsuit with a leather gold-buckle belt.
Zoe Saldaña at Saint Laurent
Zoe Saldaña at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show.
Believe it or not, Zoe Saldaña's Saint Laurent look was even more transparent than Kravitz's. The actor's underwear was on full display beneath her glittery, lace-trimmed little black dress.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Saint Laurent
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show.
At the Fall 2026 show last March, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley walked the runway in a long-sleeve bodysuit and pencil skirt. While the supermodel was absent from the Spring 2027 lineup, she made up for it in the front row in this, yes, also sheer look.
Rihanna at Dior
Rihanna at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
Rihanna's all-black look at Dior was anything but basic. She layered what seemed to be a fur stole over the little black dress that minimalists dream of. The singer's dripping-in-diamonds anklet tied the entire look together.
Jennifer Lawrence at Dior
Jennifer Lawrence at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
Jennifer Lawrence skipped Dior's last two runway shows, but all was forgiven as soon as she arrived at the Spring 2027 soirée. She chose a cool blue, nightgown-style slip dress from the Cruise 2027 collection. For accessories, the Oscar winner shade-matched her slingback pumps to a Lady D-Joy Bag.
Rosalía at Dior
Rosalía at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
Known for her avant-garde approach to glamour, Rosalía shocked fans in a surprisingly understated black gown at the Dior show. But the larger-than-life flower that secured her skirt's delicate drapery felt on-brand for the pop star.
Anya Taylor-Joy at Dior
Anya Taylor-Joy at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
At Dior, Anya Taylor-Joy gave her sleek pencil skirt a not-so-corporate twist by layering an entirely transparent cape-style top from the Cruise 2027 collection on top.
Greta Lee at Dior

Proving that capri pants aren't just a street style staple but a high-fashion fixture, Greta Lee stacked a silky pink pair beneath an ivory blazer for Dior.
Cynthia Erivo at Dior
Erivo at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
Weeks after Erivo shut down the Toronto Film Festival in a Dior Cruise 2027 robe-style gown, the actor scored a front-row seat at Anderson's latest showcase. She sourced the same collection for an extra-long Oxford shirt, a textured black maxi skirt, and an ivory-and-tomato-red boa, which spiced up the otherwise straightforward color story. Erivo's plus-one was a relatively underrated Small Dior Toujours Hobo Bag.
Karlie Kloss at Dior
Karlie Kloss at Dior's Paris Fashion Week show.
Karlie Kloss was all smiles at the Dior show. The French fashion house dressed her in a fitted, collarless blazer and a tiered skirt covered in baby blue ruffles, which resembled the 77-year-old Junon Dress.
Rihanna at Matières Fécales
Rihanna at Matières Fécales's Paris Fashion Week show.
Not only did Matières Fécales add Zendaya to its celebrity client list this year (see: her full-length wings at The Odyssey premiere in NYC), but Rihanna boarded the brand's bandwagon, too. She supported the founders, Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran, at the recent spring show, styling a tangerine-tinted skirt set made of tinsel. The Grammy winner deserves additional applause for pairing the look with pointy pumps from the Matières Fécales x Christian Louboutin collaboration.
