Front Row at the Saint Laurent Spring 2027 Show

Following a week of sweltering temperatures in Paris, the front row at the Saint Laurent Spring 2027 menswear show proved that Anthony Vaccarello’s vision remains irresistible, regardless of the weather. While some guests embraced the house’s signature lace, others leaned into sharp tailoring.

Two-For-One

Whoever styled Connor Storrie has an evil sense of humour.

Sending the Heated Rivalry star out in this Saint Laurent sheer, glossy PVC trench coat while he had a weather-appropriate vest-and-shorts look underneath was just cruel. The reveal at least made sense once the coat came off, but I still can’t imagine how uncomfortable arriving in this coat must have felt.

As for the footwear, those knee-high leather boots were certainly a choice. They completed the Saint Laurent vision, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be wearing them in that heat.

A Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph timepiece completed his look.

I Woke Up Like This

Keith Powers looked like he had rolled out of bed and straight into the front row at the Bourse de Commerce.

The oversized coat stopped the striped shirt-and-boxer-shorts combination from looking completely like pyjamas, but only just. His nonchalance sells the look, to me at least.

Tailoring That Fits

Joe Alwyn started 2026 as a Dior muse, but Saint Laurent’s cleaner, more straightforward tailoring feels like a far more natural fit. This look delivered exactly the kind of understated elegance that suits him best.

Third Time’s The Charm

We’ve already seen this Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2026 dress in brown and gold on Natalia Dyer and Virginie Efira, but Charlotte Gainsbourg’s burgundy-and-gold lace version is the strongest outing yet.

The richer colour palette instantly gives the dress more appeal, and she wears it with the effortless insouciance that has always defined her style.

Seeing Red

Charli XCX and Madonna both embraced Saint Laurent’s love affair with lace, albeit from different ends of the spectrum.

Charli’s red leather-and-lace slip dress felt entirely in keeping with her current aesthetic, while the pink-and-black pumps Madonna styled with her crimson lace mini were jarring.

SL³

Anja Rubik, Amelia Gray and Daisy Edgar-Jones looked like they had formed a girl group, each wearing a different colour variation of Saint Laurent’s Fall 2026 lace two-piece look.

You won’t be surprised that Anja and Amelia made these looks feel completely natural. However, for Daisy, this aesthetic sits well outside her usual style, and while I appreciate the experiment, I don’t think she sells it as convincingly. The confidence and attitude the look demands came far more naturally to the models, as you would expect.

Tucked Tie Trend

We’ve seen Saint Laurent’s tucked-tie styling repeatedly since the Spring and Fall 2026 collections, and this front row confirmed the trend isn’t going anywhere.

Chen Zheyuan and Rami Malek both embraced the look with striped shirts offset by polka-dot ties, proving that mixing patterns can work when the colour palette stays restrained.

Tom Sturridge and Lewis Pullman opted for stripes on stripes instead. Like Vassili Schneider, Lewis was revisiting familiar territory, having worn a similar Saint Laurent look for the Remarkably Bright Creatures premiere and the Oscars. If anything, this is becoming one of the house’s signature styling signatures.

Back To Basics

While plenty of guests embraced Saint Laurent’s latest styling trends, Jaafar Jackson and Austin Butler kept things classic in the house’s sharp pinstripe tailoring.

I remember when cropped jackets were everywhere, but the return of the longer-line jacket feels far more elegant. It gives the silhouette room to breathe.

Both men skipped the shirt altogether, allowing the tailoring to take centre stage.
