Paris Fashion Week 2027 has become a showcase for young talent and established icons alike, with standout moments featuring Ella Rubin, Alexandra Eala, and Faith Kidman-Urban. The event, held at the Grand Palais on October 5, 2026, highlighted the latest collections from Chanel and Valentino, drawing attention from fashion enthusiasts and street-style photographers.
Ella Rubin, known for her role as Annie Jacobson in the teen drama series Sterling Point, made a splash at the Chanel show, seated front-row and dressed in a combination of new and vintage Chanel pieces. "My first Chanel memory is my grandma using Chanel N°5 perfume," Rubin shared, expressing her excitement about attending the show. "I always thought she was so glamorous. She is so excited that I am attending the Chanel show." Rubin's appearance was complemented by a classic French-girl glam look, crafted by makeup artist Jen Tioseco, who emphasized a fresh complexion with Sublimage skincare and Water-Fresh Tint. The makeup included a smudge of the New Smoky eye palette and brown Stylo Yeux liner, perfectly aligning with Rubin's playful yet elevated outfit of a cropped knit and A-line skirt.
Meanwhile, tennis star Alexandra Eala, fresh off a bronze medal win at the 2026 Asian Games, attended the Chanel Women’s Wear Spring/Summer 2027 show with her mother, Rizza Maniego-Eala. Eala described the experience as surreal, stating, "It’s so surreal to experience the collection, to experience Chanel in Paris. I wouldn’t have it any other way for my first show." She shared her admiration for the Chanel collection on social media, calling it a "beautiful collision of heritage, movement and artistry" and praised the designs for their wearability and detail.
This season's Paris Fashion Week has been particularly vibrant, with street-style photographers capturing the guests and the fashionable locals. As noted in a Vogue article, there’s a reverence for clothing in Paris, where textiles are valued as highly as urban planning. The city’s unique flair for dressing becomes especially evident during fashion week, attracting a higher concentration of aesthetes than anywhere else, a trend that has been bolstered by British creatives relocating post-Brexit.
Faith Kidman-Urban, the 15-year-old daughter of actress Nicole Kidman, also made headlines at the event. Accompanying her mother, who has been a Chanel ambassador since October 2025, Faith wore a classic Chanel cardigan adorned with the brand's iconic interlocked Cs, paired with straight-leg jeans and black-and-white slingback pumps. The duo posed for photographers, embodying the chic Parisian aesthetic.
Just a day before the Chanel show, Faith attended Valentino's Antibiblioteca show at the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, where she showcased a stunning white crêpe mini dress with embroidered cap sleeves and black rockstud heeled sandals. This appearance was not just a fashion statement; it was also an opportunity to support her sister, Sunday Rose, who walked the runway in a gown by Alessandro Michele. Nicole Kidman and her daughters have become a fashionable family unit, often appearing together at high-profile events.
As the fashion world eagerly anticipates the upcoming collections, both Eala and Rubin are set to continue their journeys in their respective fields. Eala, currently ranked World No. 18, is preparing for her next competition at the Wuhan Open on October 12, where she will face some of the top tennis stars, including Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. Meanwhile, Rubin is excited about the fall season, ahead to wearing her favorite sweaters as she continues to navigate her burgeoning career.
The Kidman family, having established a strong presence in the fashion industry, is expected to remain in the spotlight. With Nicole Kidman’s continued partnership with Chanel and her daughters’ rising profiles, the family is likely to be a fixture at future fashion events. Their appearances highlight their individual styles and reinforce the familial bond that thrives in the public eye.
As Paris Fashion Week wraps up, it has undoubtedly set the stage for these young icons to shine even brighter in the fashion world. With their unique styles and personal stories, Rubin, Eala, and Kidman-Urban are not just attending fashion shows; they are shaping the future of the industry.
On October 12, Eala will return to the court for the Wuhan Open, marking another step in her athletic career, as she continues to balance her passion for tennis with her newfound love for fashion.
