Paul Mescal oozes sleek sophistication at Gucci event in Florence
Paul Mescal was spotted at the Gucci Cruise 2026 runway show, which took place last night in Florence, Italy.
The collection, which was designed by the in-house design team while they await the arrival of the new Creative Director Demna following the exit of Sabato De Sarno in February, was unveiled at the Gucci Archive in the 15th century Palazzo Settimanni.
Known for its slinky and sultry designs, Gucci had recently been presenting a more sleek and understated style under De Sarno, having celebrated a few years of exceptional popularity under Alessandro Michele, who brought his maximalist aesthetic to the legacy brand.
This collection featured more sexy designs that were inspired by the brand's archive, with oversized faux fur coats, slip dresses, pussy bow blouses and sleek pencil skirts.
The fashion house also celebrated the launch of a new exhibition on the night, at the House's museum, Palazzo Gucci. It was a fitting celebration for the brand, which was founded in the romantic city in 1921.
Mescal is a longtime fan and supporter of the Italian luxury fashion house, which has featured him in numerous campaigns. He even gave the brand's spin on his headline-stealing GAA shorts the seal of approval when he wore them for a photoshoot.
At last night's event he opted for an understated and monochrome look, stepping out in a grey sweater vest with an asymmetric neckline, worn over a white t-shirt, black trousers, a black bomber jacket and black shoes. He finished the look with classic black sunglasses.
Also spotted at the event were stars such as Julia Garner, who wore a green textured mini dress paired with avant garde pointed court shoes and sheer black tights.
Mark Ronson looked dapper in a dark brown textured suit, which he wore over a pale blue shirt and paired with the brand's iconic loafers.
Jeff Goldblum stepped out with his wife, Emilie Livingston, both looking exceptionally chic. Goldblum wore a dark green suit with a wide retro-inspired lapel, worn over a cream shirt, while Livingston wore a 90s-inspired vest top and matching long skirt in a navy floral motif.

Two men jailed for theft of gold toilet from Blenheim Palace
Two men have been jailed for their roles in the theft of a £5 million (€6m) gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in the UK. A gang of thieves smashed their way in and ripped out the fully-functioning 18-carat gold toilet during a raid in 2019. James Sheen, 40, and Michael Jones, 39, were part of the gang who planned and carried out the burglary of the Oxfordshire stately home. The toilet was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and was a star attraction in an exhibition at Blenheim Palace, the house where former British prime minister Winston Churchill was born. The heist took place hours after a glamorous launch party. The distinctive toilet was split up or melted down and sold on soon after it was stolen and has never been recovered. The toilet was stolen during a five-minute by sledgehammer-wielding thieves who smashed their way in, Oxford Crown Court heard. They drove through locked wooden gates into the grounds of the palace in two stolen vehicles before breaking in through a window. Entitled 'America', the toilet weighed approximately 98kg, was insured for $6m (€5m) and was made from gold which was itself worth about £3m. Passing sentence, Judge Ian Pringle KC said: "This bold and brazen heist took no more than five-and-a-half minutes to complete." Oxford Crown Court heard James Sheen was already serving over 19 years' imprisonment for attacks on cash machines, a museum burglary, and fraud, and was not due for release until 2032. "I say straight away I have no doubt at all that the sentence I pass must be consecutive to the sentence you are currently serving," Judge Pringle said in his sentencing remarks. "Not to do so would be to send out a message that you did this without any penalty at all," he said.
