Manu Ríos once again commanded attention in Paris with a Saint Laurent suit that took classic tailoring in a more unexpected direction.
Manu Ríos once again proved during the latest Paris Fashion Week that his relationship with fashion stopped being incidental a long time ago. The Spanish actor was one of the most photographed guests at Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, where he shared the front row with names including Rami Malek, Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz and Kate Moss.
The event brought together some of the industry’s most recognisable figures beneath enormous chandeliers, with the Eiffel Tower providing the backdrop. As Anthony Vaccarello presented a collection with a distinctly nocturnal spirit, this time defined by golden reflections and a particularly sophisticated vision of luxury, Ríos found his own moment away from the catwalk.
And he did not need anything particularly extravagant to achieve it.
The Manu Ríos suit that made office dressing far more interesting
The actor opted for a pinstripe suit with a silhouette that neatly captured the menswear language the French house has developed in recent years: powerful shoulders, sharp lapels, a straight-cut jacket and wide pleated trousers falling cleanly over classic black shoes.
The 1980s influence was unmistakable, but never veered into costume. The result had something of a businessman from another era transported directly into 2026.
The real difference came from what he wore underneath. Ríos replaced the predictable white shirt with a blue striped shirt, adding a patterned grey tie that was partially tucked inside the shirt itself.
That small gesture revived one of the codes Saint Laurent had previously introduced into its menswear and immediately disrupted the usual rigidity of a tailored look.
From the Oscars to Paris: Manu Ríos has found his perfect uniform in Saint Laurent
The appearance once again confirmed a stylistic relationship that has been strengthening for several seasons. Ríos has already chosen designs from the maison for some of the biggest events of his career, including the 2026 Oscars, while Vaccarello’s tailoring has practically become one of his most recognisable fashion signatures.
The actor has found his place particularly well among relaxed suits, 1980s references, reinterpreted classic shirts and subtle styling gestures capable of completely transforming a look.
His appearance in Paris also came at a moment of growing international visibility for the Spanish actor, with new film projects on the horizon and a schedule increasingly connected to major fashion houses.
Four days after the show, the look still stood out for one very simple reason: it was not trying to attract attention at any cost. The precision of the tailoring, the interplay of stripes and an unexpectedly styled tie were enough to make Manu Ríos one of the men who commanded the most attention that evening in Paris.
