Paris Fashion Week is usually a dazzling celebration of style, creativity, and high fashion.
But this year, some of the biggest names seemed to have missed the memo on what works in the French capital.
From bold prints gone wrong to outfits better suited for a pub than the runway, the streets of Paris became a playground of questionable fashion choices.
Dua Lipa Brings Sunshine… That Missed the Mark
British pop sensation Dua Lipa, 30, tried to inject some vibrancy into Paris with a matching knee-length skirt, jacket, and purse in a yellow, black, and red print.
Unfortunately, fashion critics weren’t impressed, with one American magazine calling the combination “not particularly pleasing to the eye.”
While her intentions were sunny, the effect left many scratching their heads.
Lauren Sánchez’s Stumbles in Style
Lauren Sánchez seemed to struggle with both color and balance.
The 56-year-old media personality turned heads for all the wrong reasons, first with a dull all-grey ensemble accented by a dramatic fur collar.
She also experienced an awkward moment when she tripped while entering the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 show—fortunately recovering quickly to continue with her billionaire husband, Jeff Bezos.
Earlier, she had drawn online ridicule for a blood-red Schiaparelli suit, which many likened to something found on Shein rather than a couture runway.
Tilda Swinton Goes Against the Grain
While Paris Fashion Week is synonymous with glamour, British actress Tilda Swinton, 65, took a different route.
The “Chronicles of Narnia” star opted for a sophisticated tweed jacket paired with a matching midi skirt, two-tone slingback heels, and a patterned blouse at the Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
The look, elegant yet oddly reserved, seemed better suited for a countryside lunch than the bustling avenues of Paris.
Livia Nunes Pushes Boundaries
Brazilian social media star Livia Nunes turned heads for a more daring reason.
Attending the Saint Laurent Menswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show, she sported a revealing white lace bodysuit, softened slightly with a silky green blouse and sheer black tights, finishing the look with black heels.
Many on social media questioned whether the ensemble truly belonged on the fashion week circuit—or in a bedroom.
Nicole Kidman’s Quirky Elegance
Nicole Kidman, 58, arrived at the Chanel show in a black feathered mini dress featuring a leather skirt, paired with dark shades and striking black-and-white shoes.
Sitting beside fashion icon Anna Wintour, Kidman balanced eccentricity with poise, showing that boldness can still make an impact when executed well.
Men Make Their Own Fashion Statements
It wasn’t just the women who challenged fashion norms.
Charlie Hunnam, 45, of Sons of Anarchy fame, attended the Saint Laurent Menswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show in a mix of colors, pairing a silky green shirt with shiny navy trousers and a brown trench coat—a combination that left many puzzled.
Christopher Briney of The Summer I Turned Pretty opted for a cropped jacket, adding to the eclectic male fashion landscape.
Bold Colors and Oversized Coats
Elsewhere, Mathilde Pinault, Salma Hayek’s step-daughter, donned a bright yellow oversized coat with vibrant gloves and a lime mini skirt, showing that Paris Fashion Week continues to be a stage for experimentation—even if it sometimes misses the mark.
What Fashion Week Teaches Us
While Paris Fashion Week highlights innovation and daring style, it also proves that not every bold move lands perfectly.
From missed colors and awkward tripping moments to avant-garde experiments that confuse rather than inspire, this year’s edition was a reminder that sometimes, even the most glamorous stars can stumble in style.
