Ana de Armas, Jennifer Connelly, Sophie Turner, and Emma Stone Bring Edgy Elegance to Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fashion Week Front Row

Boots took center stage at Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week show, with most of the guests showing up in chic pairs perfect for the season. But while the crowd leaned into autumnal styling, the runway told a different story. It was intimate, luxurious, and whimsical.

Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière presented a dreamy take on “home style,” transforming everyday clothes into something sophisticated and imaginative. The collection featured cozy long johns that were converted into off-the-shoulder dresses, and bathrobes became luxurious coats. There were also delicate slip dresses and flowing gowns in pastel shades, some of which were detailed with lace, fur, or folk-inspired touches.

The collection also featured shoes that captured Ghesquière’s vision. Ornate slippers, cozy boots, polished oxfords, and other styles completed the runway looks, making each outfit feel more refined and cohesive. I liked how the footwear added a touch of intrigue and elegance, tying the dreamy, laid-back pieces together with quiet sophistication.

The front row, meanwhile, was packed with A-list stars who looked effortlessly polished in their monochrome looks. Most of them stuck to structured all-black or crisp white ensembles paired with boots, creating a sharp contrast to the soft, dreamy hues on the runway.

Let’s take a closer look at who stood out!

Modern Monochrome Magic: Ana de Armas Elevates Paris Fashion Week in Studded Louis Vuitton and Knee-High Boots

Louis Vuitton ambassador Ana de Armas looked effortlessly chic and refined in her all-black ensemble from the French luxury fashion house. She managed to balance comfort with polish, giving off an easy yet elevated vibe.

Her black sweater looked impeccably crafted from a rich, soft fabric that gave it an effortlessly refined feel. I liked how the subtle silver studs along the crewneck and shoulders added just the right amount of shimmer to the otherwise relaxed silhouette. The studded “LV” logo on the chest gave it a touch of quiet luxury, perfectly balancing comfort and style.

Ana tucked it neatly into a black mini skirt with a structured fit and two front pockets with gleaming palladium hardware. It ended just above her thighs, perfectly showcasing her legs while adding a youthful edge to her look.

Her accessories tied everything together. She carried the $4,350 “Side Trunk MM H27” bag, crafted from black grained calf leather with smooth cowhide trims and palladium hardware, echoing the details on her skirt. Its boxy structure and metallic corners gave her look a cohesive, modern finish!

Ana kept her beauty look natural, with smoky eyeshadow and fluttery lashes accentuating her big, doe-like, predominantly green eyes. Her dark tresses were tied back into a low ponytail, with loose strands framing her face.

For jewelry, she wore Louis Vuitton white gold and diamond pieces, including the $3,450 Idylle Blossom Studs and the Le Damier De Louis Vuitton bracelet and rings, priced between $4,550 and $10,200.

Completing her outfit were the house’s “Berlin” boots, one of the most sought-after styles among the guests that day. They were sleek and supple, crafted from smooth calf leather with an elegant, tubular silhouette that elongated Ana’s legs and added a modern edge to her outfit.

The tone-on-tone stitching gave them a clean, seamless finish, while the pointed toes added a touch of sharp sophistication. What really stood out to me, though, were the sturdy, leather-covered heels shaped like half of Louis Vuitton’s signature Monogram Flower.

Gilded Edge: Jennifer Connelly Channels Luxe Biker Chic in Gold-Jeweled Louis Vuitton Boots

Jennifer Connelly, a longtime Louis Vuitton ambassador, brought her signature edge to the front row in a striking black leather ensemble that redefined the biker chic aesthetic.

Her structured black leather jacket commanded attention with its oversized pockets, chunky zippers, metallic clasps, and ring pulls that gave it a utilitarian edge. Rugged yet refined, it boasted a high collar, made of contrasting suede, which subtly softened the look, while the slightly boxy shape added modern polish.

She paired it with its matching mini skirt that looked similar to Ana de Armas’ but tougher and more sculptural in black leather. It featured a thigh-grazing hem, large front pockets with hardware that mirrored the metal accents on her jacket, and a front slit.

Keeping her accessories minimal, Jennifer wore tiny gold hoop earrings and a few rings, allowing her outfit to take center stage. Her sleek, straight hair, parted to the side, enhanced the modern feel, while her red smoky eyes added warmth to the ensemble’s monochrome palette.

What stole the spotlight, though, were her statement boots; they were unlike anything else on the carpet. Mirroring the runway look, Connelly finished her outfit with knee-high boots covered in glittering gold appliques, giving off a reflective, almost armor-like effect. Tiny jeweled embellishments were placed in between each cutout, adding texture and dimension. From afar, these intricate details resembled snakeskin. They also featured open toes and wooden block heels, giving them a playful, vintage charm.

Jennifer styled them against an all-black outfit, making them the star of the look.

Avant-Garde Drama: Sophie Turner Stuns in Winged Leather and Slouched Louis Vuitton Boots

Sophie Turner made a bold entrance at Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, staying true to her daring fashion sense. As one of the brand’s longtime ambassadors, she definitely didn’t shy away from making a statement. I have to admit, this look surprised me because it leaned a bit on the dramatic side, almost like something out of a high-fashion costume drama.

She donned a sculptural wing-like outerwear that fanned dramatically from her shoulders. It looked heavy, with curved layers that gave her a futuristic appearance. While it was undeniably striking and theatrical, I couldn’t help but think that sitting next to someone in that jacket may be pretty challenging.

Underneath, Sophie added a touch of shimmer with a silver metallic top adorned with long, cascading fringe that moved as she walked. The top paired beautifully with her ribbed black mini skirt, which hugged her figure and balanced the volume of her outerwear.

Her sleek $4,200 Express PM bag, trimmed and lined with the house’s signature Monogram pattern, and a gold and diamond ring from Louis Vuitton’s Le Damier De line were the only accessories she wore, adding a touch of sophistication to her edgy ensemble. At one point, she hid her eyes behind the $555 S-Lock Cat Eye sunglasses for added star power.

Like other attendees, Turner’s statement boots stole the spotlight. Made from soft black padded leather, the “Summer” boots slouched around her calves, creating an effortlessly cool contrast to her structured wing-like jacket. The glossy finish gave them a subtle shine that complemented her outfit, while the hidden wedge heels added a stylish boost to her height.

They balanced the boldness of her sculptural top and fringe details, adding a touch of ease and modern edge. Despite all the theatrical elements, her boots kept the look chic and wearable.

Regal in Leather: Shay Mitchell Commands Attention in Louis Vuitton Jacket Dress and Ankle Boots

Shay Mitchell looked every bit regal in her black leather jacquard jacket dress, radiating a quiet yet commanding presence that instantly caught my eye. There was something effortlessly powerful about the way she carried herself!

Her Louis Vuitton jacket dress struck the perfect balance between structure and femininity. The rich jacquard offered a subtle sheen, enhancing the texture and giving the material an opulent finish. Perfectly tailored to her frame, the silhouette had a high neck and long sleeves that gave it a commanding air, while the slightly flared hem softened the look, ending above her thighs for a hint of playfulness.

Running down the center were gleaming gold studs framing the zipper, each one reflecting the light as she moved. My favorite detail was the round, brooch-like zipper pull, which felt unexpected and resembled fine jewelry, subtly elevating the ensemble. The cuffs were just as striking, with intricate beading and beaded fringe adding a romantic contrast to the dress’s structured lines.

Her beauty look tied everything together. She paired her sleek and straight tresses with smoky eyeshadow that added depth to her gaze. Her multiple earrings sparkled under the lights, adding subtle shine, and those black sunglasses made her look even more commanding and intimidating. She then carried her front-row essentials in the Louis Vuitton Fall 2025 Speedy bag.

A pair of black leather ankle boots perfectly completed her outfit. The shoes featured pointed toes that elongated her legs and slender heels that added just the right amount of height to her look. They also had stirrup straps wrapped neatly around her heels, adding a touch of edge to the classic boot silhouette.

The smooth, glossy finish of the black leather added a final touch of polish and poise to her already striking ensemble.

Effortless Elegance: Emma Stone Shines in Minimalist White Louis Vuitton Knit Dress and Black Pumps

While most of the front-row stars arrived in head-to-toe black, Emma Stone stood out in pure white. Although understated, I found it refreshing and quietly powerful. Her look exuded grace without trying too hard, radiating that effortless sophistication she’s known for.

Emma wore a ribbed white midi dress that hugged her figure beautifully. The fabric looked luxurious yet comfy, with soft draping that added depth and structure. She decided to layer a matching cardigan over the dress, boasting the same knit texture, adding dimension while keeping the look cohesive and refined.

I admired how Emma balanced her white outfit with striking black accessories. She wore the black Louis Vuitton S-Lock Cat Eye sunglasses, the same pair Sophie Turner wore, for star power, and carried the black-and-brown Louis Vuitton Express PM bag.

For a touch of sparkle, Emma accessorized with tiny hoop earrings and a Louis Vuitton Le Damier De ring. She styled her short bob sleek and neatly tucked behind her ears, highlighting her understated jewelry and refined features. She kept her makeup soft, with a hint of blush and a natural lip that added to her effortless elegance.

On her feet, Emma wore classic black pointy pumps that beautifully complemented her all-white dress. They added just the right touch of structure and sophistication, finishing the outfit with timeless grace.
