Front Row at Saint Laurent Fall 2026 Menswear

Anthony Vaccarello presented his Fall 2026 Saint Laurent menswear show during Paris Fashion Week, with all the cool boys and girls in attendance.

Right Brand, Right Energy

Connor Storrie looks increasingly at home in Saint Laurent. The look suits his nonchalance revive rock-star elegance, and this feels like a natural pairing rather than a styled moment. More of this, please.

Blue Steel Activated

Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s attitude carried the look more than the Saint Laurent look.

First Name On The Guest List

The only surprise about seeing Anja Rubik in the front row was the absence of her usual LBD. Even so, the look still landed with her usual ease. You may remember that Naomi Watts wore this same shirt last year.

Classic by Choice

I would have loved to see Austin Butler in the Saint Laurent Spring 2026 colours, purely out of curiosity, but he stayed loyal to classic muted tailoring. Given that the Saint Laurent Fall 2026 leaned into sharper lines and familiar silhouettes, I will expect to see Austin in that new collection.

Colour Confidently Mixed

Charlie Hunnam, who wore a classic Saint Laurent suit to the Golden Globes, switched things up with a Spring 2026 look. The trio of colours worked because they all complemented each other, and his complexion. It read relaxed, confident, and slightly unexpected in the best way.

Effortless by Default

I cannot say there is much to Charlotte Gainsbourg’s Saint Laurent windbreaker, but she has a way of making the simplest pieces feel so damn cool just by wearing them.

Colour Combination Noted

David Banda, Madonna’s son, just unlocked a new favourite colour pairing for me. Brown and orange works so well here, especially against his skin-tone.

A New Chapter?

Diego Calva has long been associated with Gucci, but this Saint Laurent Spring 2026 look shifted the narrative. It introduced a looser, more laid back kind of cool.

Dark Romance reworked

Gabbriette usually sticks to a dark aesthetic, but within the Saint Laurent framework she stepped out in copper.

Quietly Confident

Jamie Bell kept things simple, as not everything is about attitude and excess. This is actually one of my favourites. The blue was the right colour for him. There is nothing more attractive than being your own man.

Classic Moss

Kate Moss, like Anja Rubik, is a Saint Laurent front-row regular, but where Anja pushed into new territory, Kate stayed firmly in her lane. This was classic Moss: slip dressing, leather, and that familiar rock ’n’ roll ease that never looks inauthentic. It is not surprising, but it is effective, and that permanent air of nonchalance still does a lot of the work.

Brown Done Right

Keith Powers may have been braving the cold with fans outside, but he looked so hot doing so. The layered browns, from the soft shirt to the deeper trousers, created an easy tonal story, while the sunglasses sealed the look with confidence.

Couples Chemistry

Kid Cudi and Lola Abecassis Sartore didn’t go down the obvious route of matching, but their looks sat comfortably in the same visual conversation. His houndstooth and leather grounded the look in classic menswear codes, while her animal print brought in a richer, more expressive counterpoint. The shared palette of browns, rust and black tied everything together, creating cohesion that might not have even been planned. Two distinct looks, aligned through tones.

Quietly Commanding

Paul Bettany let the proportion and cut do the talking. The elongated lines and dark palette suited him perfectly.

Back Where He Belongs

After enjoying Rami Malek’s exploration of different labels and silhouettes last year, this return felt right. Saint Laurent remains his spiritual home, and this look reinforced that connection. I’m always here for sharp tailoring.

The Schneider Effect

Just how many Schneider brothers are there? I checked, there are four. Somehow, they have all mastered looking impeccably dressed at all times. Vassili Schneider was no exception here, wearing Saint Laurent with a natural ease that feels almost expected at this point. A family campaign feels overdue.

Better With the Coat

I only bought into Virginie Efira’s Saint Laurent Resort 2026 look with the coat on. Without it, the romper alone feels less convincing.
