Front Row at Men’s Fall 2026 Fashion Week
Milan and Paris Fashion Week menswear continues to draw a varied front row, with actors and musicians using the shows as a chance to test drive new silhouettes, colours, and styling directions. From classic tailoring to quieter experiments with proportion, these were some of the more notable appearances.
Brioni
There are moments when clothes simply align with the person wearing them, and this was one of those cases. Kevin Costner in Brioni felt entirely natural. The tailoring was precise, the proportions familiar, and the overall effect was calm and confident without trying to modernise him for the sake of it, which often happens at fashion week.
Armani
Jack O’Connell’s Armani look stood out for its colour story as much as its cut. The warm taupe and beige tones softened the tailoring, while the relaxed fit kept the look from feeling too formal
Tom Blyth took a more formal route, opting for a tie, but the overall feel of his Armani look remained current. The suit did the work without leaning into trend driven styling, striking a balance between classic menswear and a younger energy.
After Hudson Williams’ Golden Globes look that did not fully convince, this Armani outing felt like a welcome reset. Traditional suiting worked in his favour here, reading cleaner and more assured.
Prada
Damson Idris continues his commitment to Prada cropped trousers, and on this occasion, it worked. The proportions of the full look made sense, and the colour contrast kept it sharp. It may not convert everyone, but this well judged for the setting.
Nicholas Hoult opted out of the cropped trouser conversation entirely. His Prada look was built around tailored staples, keeping things direct and unfussy. At the moment, consistency is the statement for Nicholas.
Louis Partridge’s Prada look leaned into a more relaxed direction, with colours that felt transitional, while sitting comfortably between smart and casual.
Rauw Alejandro was channelling his inner Prince in the colour purple. It was bold by virtue of commitment a colour story rather than styling tricks.
Tod’s
James Norton’s Tod’s look leaned into a rugged, off duty register that stood apart from the sharper tailoring we saw elsewhere in the front rows this fashion week. The suede jacket did most of the work, giving the outfit a worn in, tactile quality that felt more everyday than event driven. And I have to say this is a refreshing change of pace.
