James McAvoy & Gugu Mbatha-Raw On The Claudia Winkleman Show

James McAvoy and Gugu Mbatha-Raw made a guest appearance on The Claudia Winkleman Show, which will air on the BBC today, where James spoke about his directorial debut California Schemin’, while Gugu continued to promote her new film, Fuze.

When Tailoring Meets Leather

James McAvoy wore a look from the Hermès Fall 2026 collection, with the leather shirt instantly drawing me in. It adds a contemporary edge to his usual tailoring, giving the actor-director something a little more directional (pun unintended). It’s slick, offering a fresh take on classic menswear codes.

Same Script, Different Day

Am I alone in feeling like we’ve seen Rita Wilson in this snakeskin dress before? There is something about her style that always feels on repeat, like Groundhog Day. It rarely feels new.

Back In Her Sweet Spot

And then there is Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who is back in her dainty, tulle dress era. You were torn on her looks from last week, as they stepped outside her usual comfort-zone, but this Simone Rocha floral jacquard satin midi dress from the Spring 2026 collection, accented with pearls, feels far more in tune with what we expect from her. This is such a Leith Clark–Gugu Mbatha-Raw dress, which is exactly why it works—and why I love it so much.
