Naomi Watts and Sarah Paulson brought two effortlessly polished looks to the Celine Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026–2027 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week, and I have to say, both outfits immediately stood out to me.
Sitting in the front row at a Celine show already comes with certain fashion expectations, and the two actresses delivered with sleek, tailored ensembles that perfectly reflected the French fashion house’s signature minimalist edge.
💫 Jump to the Looks:
What I liked most was how both looks leaned into classic tailoring while still feeling modern and wearable. Naomi mixed structured pieces with casual staples, while Sarah chose a sharper monochromatic black outfit.
Both stars actually wore the same Celine boots, with Naomi’s in white and Sarah’s in black, which gave each look a completely different vibe.

Naomi Watts Styles White Celine “Cheri” Boots With Relaxed Tailoring
Naomi Watts stepped out at the Celine Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026–2027 show during Paris Fashion Week in a clean, effortless outfit.
Her white boots immediately caught my attention, and I felt like they really elevated the whole ensemble. Without them, the outfit might have felt a little too simple.
She wore Celine’s “Cheri” boots, which retail for around $1,500. The boots were crafted from smooth lambskin leather and featured elegant almond toes paired with squared stacked leather heels that were around 2.2 inches high, giving her a subtle lift while still keeping the look comfortable and easy to walk in.
The design also included Celine’s Triomphe logo printed on the front and back leather pull tabs, as well as on the leather panel behind the heel. An inner side zip made them easy to slip on, while visible stitching along the front added structure and a bit of texture to the sleek silhouette.

Naomi Watts’ Smart-Casual Blazer and Cropped Jeans Outfit at the Celine Show
As for the rest of her outfit, Naomi kept things relaxed but polished. She wore a loose white shirt with a wide collar and cuffed sleeves, leaving several buttons undone for a slightly daring touch.
I actually loved seeing her in something a little more relaxed than her usual polished and feminine style. The shirt was layered under a loose black blazer and tucked into straight-leg, cropped jeans. A black Celine belt with an oversized gold-tone Celine collar stud sat at the waist, adding a bold focal point.
Watts finished her look with a gold chain necklace, earrings, a few rings, and angular sunglasses that gave the outfit an extra edge.

Sarah Paulson Embraces Monochrome Power Dressing in Black Celine “Cheri” Boots
Sarah Paulson graced the front row at the Celine Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026–2027 show during Paris Fashion Week in a sleek monochromatic look. The whole outfit felt sharp, modern, and very much in line with Celine’s clean, tailored aesthetic.
She wore the same “Cheri” boots Naomi Watts wore, though Paulson’s pair were in black to match her all-black outfit. Crafted from lambskin leather, the ankle boots featured almond toes and square stacked leather heels measuring around 2.2 inches high.
The silhouette looked elegant yet practical for walking through the cobblestone streets of Paris. Her boots featured side zips that made them easy to slip on, while leather pull tabs at the front and at the back of the heel displayed Celine’s Triomphe logo.

Sarah Paulson’s Tailored Tuxedo Jumpsuit and Celine “Doctor” Pouch
Paulson styled the boots with a chic and modern, sharply tailored black jumpsuit, with clean lines and a structured silhouette that gave it a polished feel! The upper half featured a tuxedo-inspired design with sharp, peaked lapels and a deep V-neckline, adding a slightly dramatic touch.
It also had slightly padded shoulders and long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, giving the look a strong, structured feel. Around the waist sat a wide waistband accented with two brooches, adding a touch of shine against the all-black ensemble.
The lower half flowed into balloon-style pants with knife pleats at the waist and satin panels along the sides, tapering neatly toward the ankles.
Paulson finished the look with a ring, sleek black sunglasses, and the $3,300 Celine “Doctor” pouch in light sand calfskin leather, which added a soft contrast to the dark outfit.

How Naomi Watts and Sarah Paulson Styled the Same Celine “Cheri” Boots Two Different Ways
Front-row style at a Celine show is always a lesson in modern Parisian dressing, and Naomi Watts and Sarah Paulson delivered two completely different interpretations of the brand’s minimalist aesthetic. Watts kept things relaxed and effortlessly cool in cropped denim and a tailored blazer, letting her white Celine “Cheri” boots brighten the look, while Paulson leaned into sharp monochrome tailoring with a structured jumpsuit and black version of the same ankle boots.
Their coordinated footwear moment proved just how versatile Celine’s sleek boot silhouette can be—equally at home with laid-back smart casual styling or dramatic power dressing.
