Celebrities at the Launch of WYouth

Posted by Catherine Kallon

Fendi joined Hailey Bieber and W Magazine editor-in-chief Sara Moonves for an evening at Saddle Ranch in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of WYouth, the magazine’s new publication aimed at teenagers.

The event also coincided with the launch of Fendi’s Cruise 2027 collection and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s reinterpretation of the house’s Croissant bag, with several guests carrying the new design.

Sequins Meet Denim

Hailey Bieber swapped the coordinated skirt from Chanel’s Fall 2026 collection for casual denim, giving the look a cool, effortless attitude that was perfectly in tune with this youth-focused event. This is exactly how I like to see runway pieces styled to feel more personal.

A Cool Take On Colour Blocking

Whitney Peak wore a LII Spring 2027 look that felt like a clever mix of sportswear, deconstruction and early 2000s styling.

The beauty of this look is that the pieces appear mismatched, as though they shouldn’t necessarily work together, yet somehow they do. There’s something wonderfully youthful and slightly rebellious about this combination, and I love how Whitney carried the runway’s colour palette through to her red pumps and bold lip, finishing the look with a black clutch.

Texture Takes Centre Stage

Charlotte Lawrence’s black Fendi ensemble was all about sheer fabric and feather-like embellishments.

The contrasting textures give an otherwise familiar black look a more interesting finish. The choker and leather cuffs add attitude, while the contrasting silver Croissant bag completes the look.

Sheer Simplicity

Gia Coppola also opted for black Fendi with sheer detailing, but the overall effect was completely different. Her lace dress felt softer and more romantic compared to Charlotte’s edgier ensemble.

I’m glad to see these black dresses paired with contrasting Croissant bags, as Gia’s pale blue version adds a lovely touch of colour.

A Western Influence

Owen Thiele embraced the Saddle Ranch setting in a cream Fendi ensemble featuring a Western-style shirt with contrasting black shoulder panels.

I just love his cheeky attitude, the retro feel of the outfit and how perfectly he styled it, right down to the black Croissant bag slung over his shoulder.

More Is More

Paris Hilton opted for a vampy black Fendi satin and lace dress, accessorised with a cardigan, lace gloves, oversized sunglasses and a Fendi Fall 2026 Baguette 26424 bag.

Did she over-accessorise, particularly with the lace choker, gloves and sunglasses? I’m sure many of you are saying yes, but this is exactly the sort of styling we expect from Paris. Personally, I would have preferred to see the dress without the cardigan.
