Celebrities Front Row at Patou Spring 2026: Susan Sarandon, Elizabeth Olsen and More
PAGING JOY: At Patou, Joy is not just a legendary fragrance, it's a state of mind. In the run-up to his spring show on Sunday, creative director Guillaume Henry enlisted Susan Sarandon to star in a humorous teaser film in which she receives gifts in her hotel room from a mysterious character named Joy. Eventually, she contacts reception to track her down, demanding: 'Give me Joy.' More from WWD Penélope Cruz Holds Court in Purple Chanel, Diane Kruger Goes Ethereal in Alberta Ferretti and More at Les Arts Décoratifs Ball Celebrities at Ralph Lauren Fall 2025: Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and More Elizabeth Olsen Goes Retro in Patou for 'Today' Show Appearance, Talks Forthcoming Film 'The Assessment' Front row at the show, the Oscar-winning actress reflected on the things that bring her joy. 'Release, freedom, imagination,' she told WWD. It's why she continues to enjoy what she does. 'That's the only reason to do it, really, because it's such an insecure job. But the fact that when you do work, you're part of a collaboration, is what interests me,' the 'Thelma and Louise' star explained. Sarandon will begin rehearsals in August for 'Mary Page Marlowe,' a drama by Tracy Letts to be staged this autumn at the Old Vic theater in London. 'I'm totally intimidated and terrified and excited simultaneously,' she said, noting that it will be her first time on stage in the U.K., and also the first time she performs in the round. 'Your audience surrounds you. I guess the good news is you don't have to worry about blocking people, but I don't really know what that means,' she said. 'Theater in England is so intimidating, because that's where it started, and they can speak so beautifully and quickly, as opposed to Americans that just garble everything.' For Elizabeth Olsen, a good book is key. 'My definition of joy would be being able to not overthink the present moment or what's to come,' she said. 'Reading helps me get back to the moment.' The 'Avengers' star is deep into the fourth book of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels. 'I'm a little late to the game,' Olsen confessed of her summer binge read. Diane Kruger is enjoying traveling in Europe with her daughter Nova. 'I'm feeling a lot of joy these days,' she said. That's despite getting caught up in a French air traffic controllers' strike on her way to Rome this week. 'It's like you live in Europe, you kind of gotta take the good with the bad, right?' she said with a shrug. The 'Inglourious Basterds' actress will head the jury of the Angoulême Francophone Film Festival in late August, and is set to star in the eagerly awaited series 'Merteuil,' a prequel to 'Dangerous Liaisons,' alongside Anamaria Vartolomei and Lucas Bravo. Kelly Rutherford also finds joy in togetherness. 'The first thing that comes to mind is my children and my dog, and I think the people you love,' she said. When she has a bad day, she remembers to switch perspective. 'It's about focus and refocusing,' the actress and style icon said. 'Our minds go on an algorithm, and so it's easy to keep going down one path, but if you change it and shift it, you can start to think more joyful thoughts, because it's always available as well.'

Penélope Cruz Highlights Chanel's Textured Tailoring at the Brand's Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
An ambassador for Chanel since 2018, Penélope Cruz attended the fashion house's fall 2025 couture collection show during Paris Couture Week on Tuesday, wearing a look from the brand. The Oscar-winning actress donned a Chanel jacket, featuring a tailored silhouette with allover shimmering details intricately woven into the fabric. Cruz's outfit also included a black jacket with off-white trim and pearl detailing, along with sinuous cuffs and subtle pinstripe lines of sparkling details. The actress carried a Chanel quilted bag and wore a pair of black heels to complete her ensemble.

The Villa d'Este hotel in Italy served as the backdrop for the collection's showcase, featuring designs that paid homage to the Romy Schneider wearing Gabrielle Chanel designs in his 1962 movie 'Boccaccio 70,' per Luisa Zargani's WWD review of the collection. Highlights from the collection included 'tweed miniskirts in a beautiful wisteria hue that matched the blooms on the terrace, for example, and short taffeta dresses in a peach or pink color with flounces and ruffles — although at times the frilly effect could have been toned down a bit,' Zargani added. The collection marked a turning point for the French luxury fashion house. Matthieu Blazy, who spent much of his formative years at Bottega Veneta, was named Chanel's creative director in December 2024. The designer's first collection for the label will be featured in October. As of last April, the designer is reportedly assembling his team. Ahead of the fall 2025 couture show, guests from Sofia Coppola to Cruz, Keira Knightley and more kicked off Paris Couture Week with the Bal d'Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs on Sunday in Paris. Cruz also wore a Chanel selection from the label's spring 2025 couture collection to the fete.

Iris Van Herpen Fall 2025 Couture: Dresses Teeming With Life
Iris Van Herpen has taken her haute couture R&D to another astonishing frontier, creating a 'living look' incorporating 125 million bioluminescent algae that she said require eight hours of rest, eight hours of light — and a calm, cool environment in order to thrive. Sounds a lot like us, huh? More from WWD Cardi B Embraces Sculptural Shoulders and Fringe Pearls for Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris Dua Lipa Goes Avant-garde in Keyhole Cutout Dress for Schiaparelli's Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris Sofia Coppola was Thinking Pink for Les Arts Décoratifs Ball 'When it's happy, it responds to the movement of the person who's wearing it,' Van Herpen told a visitor, his jaw on the floor, during a preview of her fall 2025 show, which combined light sculptures, stirring music, gossamer fabrics and choreography to pack an emotional punch akin to David Attenborough's new ocean film — but with the visual poetry unique to the Dutch designer. A million questions occur about the algae dress, such as, 'How long will it live?' 'We don't know. No one knows. It's one big pioneering process,' Van Herpen said. 'But I don't think this will be possible to deliver to a client yet. It's more of a museum piece because it really needs to be taken care of every day.' Van Herpen fished out a photo on her phone of the squishy garment housed in its steel and glass temperature-controlled chamber, mist accumulating at the bottom. It's as strangely beautiful as it is mysterious, achieved thanks to a collaboration with engineer and 'bio designer' Chris Bellamy, who found a way to keep the algae alive in a nutrient gel. Each of Van Herpen's 18 looks felt like an ecosystem unto itself: here a kinetic dress in collaboration with artist Casey Curran, undulating like some alien skeleton; there Japanese 'air' fabric suspended on wires and drifting like a jellyfish in invisible currents, or a cutting-edge 'brewed protein' material from Spiber, somehow resembling the suckers of an octopus — or a few cans of Pringles — spilled over a fishtail dress. The designer combined all that science with haute artistry, also taking inspiration from Loïe Fuller, a pioneer of modern dance, and equipping a performer with winged appendages that interacted with the laser beams of Nick Verstand in mesmerizing ways. Van Herpen called that show opener a metaphor for 'how we have drained the life out of our oceans.' Leaving no senses unengaged, she also conscripted perfumer Francis Kurkdjian to develop a bespoke fragrance dispersed like a wave during the show. Here were vaporous dresses that behaved in the atmosphere of the Élysée Montmartre music hall like normal fabric might submerged in Europe's deepest pool — Van Herpen's been there, done that for her spring 2023 couture collection — and a stiffer one that whorled upwards around a model, like egg whites caught in a twister. Van Herpen's wondrous dressmaking defies gravity, provokes deep thoughts about our planet — and lights up couture week like very, very happy algae.

Cardi B Embraces Sculptural Shoulders and Fringe Pearls for Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
Cardi B joined celebrity and high-profile attendees for Schiaparelli's fall 2025 couture show during Paris Couture Week on Monday. The Grammy Award-winning rapper opted for sculptural attire, wholly evocative of the couture stylings of the Italian luxury fashion house. The 'Money' rapper's look featured a slimming black dress with a rounded plunging neckline, courtesy of Schiaparelli's spring 2024 couture collection. Atop the bodice of the ensemble, Cardi B's look featured exaggerated shoulders with an elongated construction and a framed silhouette with strings of pearls in a fringe style all over the sculpted piece. More from WWD Sofia Coppola was Thinking Pink for Les Arts Décoratifs Ball Meet the Couture Designer Born in the Same Town as Christian Dior Designer Upheaval, New Rules: Everything to Know About Paris Couture Week As for accessories, Cardi opted to go minimal, save for a pair of pearl statement earrings in a teardrop style that complemented the cascading strings of pearls as part of her sculptural ensemble. When it came to Cardi's glam, the rapper went old school. Her hair was styled in a blunt bob with a sinuous side part reminiscent of the aesthetic popularized during the 'roaring' 1920s. Her makeup included standout elements like bold brows, dramatically lined eyes and a glossy lip. Cardi posed for photos with a live raven on the steps of the Petit Palais ahead of the show. WWD caught up with the rapper at the show, inquiring about her feelings when posing with the raven. 'I'm not scared of the bird,' the rapper told WWD's Joelle Diderich. 'That's my friend! I control him; we're best friends,' Cardi said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by WWD (@wwd) The rapper has a long-standing relationship with Schiaparelli and previously attended the haute couture show in 2023. For the 2023 edition of the haute couture collection show, Cardi wore a similarly extravagant ensemble. Channeling creative director Daniel Roseberry's animal-inspired 2023 collection, Cardi wore a cape covered in wool tendrils, which gave the illusion of black feathers. Upon removing the cape, the rapper revealed a sleek, strapless black dress with gold trim at the neckline and lace-up gold corsetry elements at the back.
