Celebrities took over Stella McCartney’s runway in Paris with sustainable styling, aesthetic innovation and unapologetic attitude.
As part of Paris Fashion Week, Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was more than just a fashion show: it was a statement of intent, with a front row that brought together Anitta, Becky G, Paris Jackson, Leonie Hanne, Ice Spice and a much-applauded Helen Mirren, who even opened the event by reciting ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles. At a time when the conversation around fashion’s future revolves around sustainability, the British designer proved that style and responsibility can coexist powerfully.
The collection introduced oversized silhouettes, tailored suits, innovative fabrics such as PURETECH (which purifies the air) and eco-friendly alternatives like Fevvers, a plant-based replacement for feathers. All presented with McCartney’s signature elegant yet functional touch.
The celebrities made their presence felt: Anitta wore a mini dress with an architectural structure; Becky G opted for a black tuxedo with a cropped blazer and shimmering waistband; Paris Jackson stunned in a minimalist red evening gown; Leonie Hanne channelled Greek sculpture in pure white; and Ice Spice captivated in a nude dress blending classical inspiration with a futuristic edge. Female power was the clear protagonist both on and off the runway.
Chiara Ferragni also stood out, wearing a blue dress that fused minimalist sophistication with restrained sensuality. The satin piece balanced a demure high neckline with an unexpected cut-out, creating visual tension. It moved effortlessly between classic and avant-garde, perfectly reflecting McCartney’s ethos of effortless elegance.
McCartney turned her show into a celebration of unity and conscious creativity, reaffirming her place as one of the most consistent and influential voices in contemporary fashion.
