Welcome to day three of Paris Fashion Week. The city’s glamorous week began with Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent spring/summer 2026 show, staged beneath the glittering Eiffel Tower. Against this cinematic backdrop, a cast of 2025’s It girls gathered to take in Vaccarello’s sleek, ‘80s-imbued vision. Since then, we've seen Louis Vuitton indulged in regency romance, followed by Stella McCartney's signature brand of polish.
From today, the week accelerates into a series of hotly anticipated debuts: Jonathan Anderson presents his first women's ready-to-wear collection at Dior, Glenn Martens showcases his ready-to-wear vision for Maison Margiela following his kick-off with couture in July, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez take the reins at Loewe, Pierpaolo Piccioli reveals his vision for Balenciaga; and Matthieu Blazy unveils his first Chanel collection. Alongside, the industry’s most established names will continue to raise the stakes.
Across the weekend, we’ll be reporting live on everything you need to know, from standout shows and defining trends to the key pieces and unmissable moments destined to shape the S/S 26 season. Stay tuned.

On the Saint Laurent runway, the ‘80s reigned supreme. Sharp, oversized shoulders, glossy leathers and precise pencil skirts set the tone, before billowing, hyper-voluminous dresses brought the show to a close. In the front row, fashion’s most-watched names—Kate and Lila Moss, Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX, Alexa Chung and more—were out in force. Their collective look spelt out the defining trend of the night: big top, tight skirt. Lace designs and fluid satin pencil skirts were paired with statement bombers and exaggerated blouses, creating an ‘80s silhouette that felt distinctly modern.
More major celebrities have descended on Paris to witness Nicolas Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2026 collection. On the runway, a romantic sensibility permeated the designs, with silhouettes that nodded to the house’s founding year of 1858—think dramatic collars and flowing dresses—appeared throughout the collection. Meanwhile, contemporary touches, such as scarves styled in place of belts and heavily fringed dresses, featured throughout.
If you were to ask anyone on our team which Paris Fashion Week runway show they were most excited about, the answer would be unanimous: Jonathan Anderson’s Dior ready-to-wear debut. Stepping into the role at the storied French fashion house, Anderson presents his first womenswear collection following his menswear debut as Dior’s creative director earlier this summer. With Paris buzzing and a star-studded guest list in attendance, we’ve rounded up some of the most stylish celebrities spotted at the show.
“Genuinely breathtaking!” was how Who What Wear’s SEO writer, Ava Gilchrist, summed up the Dior runway show as it drew to a close this afternoon. She wasn’t alone in her admiration—the collection unveiled a parade of delicate, sculptural silhouettes, dramatic headpieces, and darling gowns, all tied together by an undercurrent of ethereal femininity.
Attending the Issey Miyake show in Paris on Thursday, Who What Wear’s Fashion Editor Sophie Watson noted: “Plenty of classic plissé alongside flashes of neon and tropical plant prints. Holes in the fabric seemed to dictate hand placement, while witchy silhouettes floated past in head-to-toe looks finished with Camper shoes. The opening pieces featured exaggerated, crumpled shoulders, before giving way to palm prints, feathers and robe-like shapes in taupe and acid tones.”
