As Paris Fashion Week and the Fall 2026 runway season draw to a close, let the Oscars red carpet fashion predictions begin.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Teyana Taylor took time out of her busy schedule to attend the Chanel show on Monday, increasing the odds that she’ll wear the brand Sunday night — and maybe even become the next Chanel ambassador.
With more brand ambassadors than ever, celebrity guests were as much a part of the show as anything that came down the runway. Here’s a look at some of the notable appearances.

In a stunt casting move gone too far, L.A. brand Enfants Riches Déprimés enlisted Marilyn Manson as a runway model, apparently unfazed by the multiple abuse allegations from women that led to him being dropped by his music label, his talent agency and several concert dates.

Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel was the buzziest collection of the season, in large part because the brand wisely avoided rushing any see-now, buy-now pieces into stores after his October 2025 runway debut. Instead, Chanel stoked anticipation. The first collection landed in Paris stores this week, sparking a feeding frenzy among editors and fans eager to shop it.

It also created momentum leading into the Fall 2026 Chanel collection shown on Monday, another blazing Blazy success. The collection dropped waists to extreme lows, made a case for the return of the skirt suit, redefined the Chanel jacket to include sporty windbreakers and flannel shirt–like styles, and continued to showcase a fantasia of craft and color.

Across the board, designers worked to mix relatable casual clothing with showstoppers, putting forth a new femininity that left quiet luxury behind. Exhibit A: Jonathan Anderson’s Dior, where embellished denim sparkling with crystal embroidery evoked the legendary 1949 Junon and Venus Christian Dior couture ball gowns.
Dior's garden of delights was shown in a greenhouse in the middle of the Tuileries, complete with a pond of water lilies, which inspired some of the best shoes of the runway season.

The Bar jacket morphed into even more shapes, including a soft knit peplum cardigan. Frock coats appeared in lush lamé fabrics, styled with denim or balloon pants. I also loved how he brought the draped and creased effect of a gown to an easy short-sleeve shirt.

Tom Ford may be back in filmmaking mode, shooting Cry to Heaven, but his name has been very much in the fashion conversation this season, from the revival of '90s style to Demna heavily referencing him during his first Gucci runway collection in Milan.

The actual Tom Ford collection, now designed by Haider Ackermann, delivered on Ford’s legacy, bringing sexy back to the runway. The show featured peekaboo vinyl skirts, low-slung trousers clinging to a bare hip with a thin strap, and plenty of leather and lace — all big trends for fall.

Schiaparelli is primed for a major cultural moment, with the Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art exhibition opening at the end of the month at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, showing Elsa Schiaparelli’s work alongside current creative director Daniel Roseberry’s designs. With his fall runway collection, Roseberry continued to honor her surrealist vision and fascination with body modification, presenting figure-enhancing dresses of every kind.

Paris fashion’s new avant-garde voices, Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran, took aim at the One Percent with their Fall 2026 Matières Fécales collection, which repeatedly featured money as a motif, including money masks and a money jacket. The collection also included body-modifying elements, such as Christian Louboutin boots designed to look like bare feet.

Saint Laurent is marking the 60th anniversary of Le Smoking, adapting the traditional men’s tuxedo for a sensual women’s silhouette. Anthony Vaccarello’s Fall 2026 runway featured many iterations of the look, alongside lacy lingerie pieces and chubby fur coats with grosgrain bow details that have Rihanna’s name written all over them.

Female designers have a distinct eye on fashion. Sarah Burton mastered uncomplicated elegance at Givenchy, with crisp white shirts, feminine suiting and unfussy but gorgeous evening wear for strong women.

An expert at reading the zeitgeist, Miu Miu's Miuccia Prada drew inspiration from the humbling magnitude of nature and its influence on fashion. Her Fall 2026 runway featured outdoorsy nylon pants, adorable cropped fur-lined jackets, trapper hats, rugged boots, and what could be the next It sneaker—a crystal-covered throwback to the ’90s Prada Sport era. She also incorporated love-worn leather and vintage beaded touches, nodding to the growing popularity of resale and thrifting.

Gabriela Hearst interpreted the lace trend in her own luxe, artisanal way, alongside classic tweeds and outerwear, and introduced recycled mink collars held together by delicate chains, making them one of the season’s most desirable accessories. The designer also reminded us that kindness is always in style by elevating her muse, Eglantyne Jebb, whose work has impacted the lives of more than 1 billion children since she founded Save the Children in 1919.
